City Opens Premier Fields, Dream Courts on Leland

Live Poll

Should your city spend public money on new youth sports facilities?

The City of Pittsburg opened two new community sports facilities on W. Leland Road this week. Pittsburg Premier Fields is the City's first multipurpose outdoor sports complex, and Pittsburg Dream Courts is an indoor facility made possible in part by a donation of more than $3 million from Discovery Homes.

Why it matters

The facilities expand recreational options for residents with new outdoor fields and indoor courts. Both projects honor the legacy of former Councilmember Merl Craft.

The City reported a donation of more than $3 million from Discovery Homes toward Pittsburg Dream Courts, which contains five full courts in more than an acre of indoor space. The total project cost and the number of fields in future phases were not stated.

The players

Basketball Nation

Basketball Nation is the operator of the Pittsburg Dream Courts facility and will run leagues, camps, and tournaments there.

Discovery Homes

Discovery Homes is a homebuilder that donated more than $3 million toward the Pittsburg Dream Courts.

The details

The celebration began at Pittsburg Premier Fields with the opening of its first phase, which includes the complex's first field, a parking lot, a new traffic signal, and pedestrian safety improvements. Guests then walked across the street to open the Pittsburg Dream Courts, which the facility's operator, Basketball Nation, will use to host basketball and volleyball leagues, camps, and tournaments.

• This week (week of November 1, 2026): Ribbon-cutting for both new sports facilities on W. Leland Road.
• Later this winter (2026-27): Community-wide grand opening celebrations of both facilities.

Philanthropy Context

Pittsburg Premier Fields was built with local investment including Measure M, which directly funded the City's first multipurpose outdoor sports complex. The Dream Courts donation from Discovery Homes reflects private giving added to public recreation projects that honor former Councilmember Merl Craft.

Residents now have access to new outdoor fields and indoor courts on W. Leland Road for organized leagues, camps, and tournaments. Families can plan to use the facilities as the City adds more fields in future phases.

The takeaway

Local investment and private donations together can expand public recreation, and residents can watch for the winter grand opening to see both facilities in person.

What happens next

The City will hold a community-wide grand opening celebration of both facilities later this winter, and future phases will add more fields to Pittsburg Premier Fields.
