Athletic Fields

The City of Wylie is pleased to provide athletic fields for our citizens to enjoy. Our priority is to provide high-quality fields for recreational youth sports such as football, softball, baseball, and soccer. We partner with local leagues to provide recreational sports programming for the children of Wylie. For a listing of the leagues we work with, please see our league information page here.

Game fields are located at Founders Park (soccer, football, and softball) and Community Park (baseball). In order to preserve the field turf, the game fields at Founders Park and Community Park are reserved for exclusive use by the youth sports leagues during the spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons. We allocate field space to the leagues for each season, and only authorize those leagues to use the fields. Some leagues choose to practice on their allocated game fields, and we allow this use as part of the field use agreement we have with each league. Unauthorized use of the game fields during the spring, summer, fall, and winter sports seasons is not allowed. (City of Wylie Ordinance # 2005-37).

Practice fields without lights are available at many locations throughout the city and may be used on a first-come, first-served basis at no cost. See below for a list of parks with first come, first served practice fields that have backstops and soccer goals. There are also fields available with lights to reserve for a fee on a limited use basis as listed below.

The spring season runs from February 15 until June 14, the summer season runs from June 15 until August 14, the fall season runs from August 15 until December 14, and the winter season runs from December 15 until February 1.
