Town officials and developers have broken ground on a $92 million sports complex in Kings Park.
The highly anticipated 44-acre Destination KP Sports Park at 350 Old Northport Road will feature seven outdoor athletic fields, two outdoor practice fields and a 64,800-square-foot multi-floor indoor sports facility, among a plethora of other amenities.
The indoor facility alone is roughly the size of a Walmart Supercenter.
Smithtown Supervisor Edward R. Wehrheim said the project is yet another component of recent growth within the Old Northport Road corridor, including the addition of an early education academy, a solar farm, and the Flynn Memorial Ballpark complex, along with the imminent arrival of a new Starbucks at the corner of Indian Head and Old Northport roads.
“This growth reflects the town’s dedication to fulfilling the community’s vision, as expressed through public input during our master plan process,” he said. “Destination KP will be an exciting and valuable addition, offering much-needed athletic fields, an indoor sports facility, and a premier venue for tournaments and competitions.”
Fields of dreams
The facility is expected to open in January 2026, officials said.
Officials said that Destination KP is a key part of Smithtown’s effort to clean up industrial area properties as they change ownership, and attracting family friendly businesses and services.
An official groundbreaking ceremony for the project was held last Thursday. The project will be developed by Prospect Sports Partners LLC and the facility will be operated by Agape Community Sports Services.
Once completed, the facility will also feature a concession building, retail space and a health club. Additionally, there will be 100,000 square feet of medical and commercial office space, which will be primarily focused on sports medicine.
