South Campus Sports Association Field At 10001 Stella Link Rd.

[Highrise Tower]

Finally researched this massive sports complex.  Looks like it has gone through a few transformations and is now jointly-owned. 

The 75 acre (now 55 acre) sports field was developed by the Stella Link Redevelopment Authority.

In 1998, a number of local families personally guaranteed a bank loan so that SLRA could purchase 75 acres of land just east of Stella Link Boulevard, just south of the 610 South Loop. South Campus was born. The complex is also located off of South Main Street (Highway 90.)

Using the McGovern Campus Park as a model, SLRA sold 12 acres at the northwest corner of the original South Campus tract to a group that founded and built the Emery Weiner School. At the other end of the tract, a smaller portion of the land was sold for the development of the St. Catherine’s Montessori School. In 2003, the South Campus Sports Association was formed as a separate section 501(c)(3) organization by four area youth sports leagues—West University Little League, Braes Bayou Little League, West University Softball Association, and the Near Town Soccer Club—with the singular purpose of purchasing and developing the remaining acreage. Later in 2003, the Southwest Football League and Houston Youth Lacrosse joined the South Campus family.

Now, more than a decade and a half later, as a result of thousands of volunteer hours of planning, fundraising, and execution, the 55-acre South Campus Sports Complex provides real fields of dreams for more than 5,000 Houston-area children annually, providing fully equipped, state-of-the-art, lighted facilities for youth baseball, soccer, softball, football, and lacrosse practices and games.
