United Sports is a 127000 squarefoot indoor 72acre outdoor sports complex located directly off the Route 30 Bypass in the heart of Chester County PA. This privatelyfunded over $15 million project transformed a historic but longneglected airport into a major center for recreation and field access. United Sports is located in Downingtown PA a suburb just southwest of Philadelphia. In a time of rapid urban development rather than building homes or additional corporate buildings United Sports designed a complex that encompasses 11 outdoor playing fields and 3 acres under roof with multiple playing surfaces for varying sport use.
United Sports provides an opportunity for your child to participate in sports in a safe environment. Without these additional fields and programs registrations for youth leagues would be limited due to a lack of field space. On a regular basis United Sports attracts participants and spectators from a 60mile to 60minute radius. Centrally located United Sports is convenient to people from nearby neighboring states (Maryland Delaware New Jersey).
