Add a soccer pavilion to the growing list of new attractions popping up all over City Park.
Work crews recently broke ground on the $450,000 project that will service four soccer fields sandwiched between the Orleans Avenue Canal and Marconi Drive near Harrison Avenue.

The facility, scheduled to open by year's end, will occupy a portion of a gravel parking lot adjacent to the southernmost field.

Park officials said the pavilion will offer much-needed amenities for the thousands of elementary and high school players, family members and fans who flock to the year-round facility, particularly on weekends.

In addition to a 2,000-square-foot covered patio and a small concession area, the building will include restrooms.
