Prince George's Sports Innovation Center
A “one-of- a-kind” youth sports facility centrally located in Prince George’s County, MD
The “Prince George’s Sports Innovation Center” will provide a full-size indoor turf field, basketball, volleyball, and pickleball courts. While this alone would make it an incredible recourse and community amenity, this is just part of the story.
The Prince George’s Sports Innovation Center is being designed & built to maximize workforce development and “on the job” training opportunities for the varied facets of the sports industry including sports production & broadcast, physical training, sports marketing, athlete representation, and sports facility management. Prince George’s Sports is proud to be collaborating with Bowie State University, Prince George’s Community College, and the private sector to develop these opportunities.
With the support of Governor Wes Moore, the Maryland Legislature, County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, and generous private donors, Prince George’s Sports is currently building a 160,000 square foot indoor sports facility that will serve as the “hub” for its mission to provide quality youth sports programming in Prince George’s County, MD. It is located in the highly acclaimed South Lake development in Bowie, MD and adjacent to the Liberty Sports Park.
