Greensboro Parks Find New Life With time comes change, and that couldn’t be truer for a couple of Greensboro’s regional parks. Renovations at Bryan and Keeley have updated some of the City’s most cherished green spaces – offering residents and visitors an even better version of the parks they’ve been playing and relaxing in for years. A Place for the Beautiful Game Bryan Park is known for its many amenities – including its 36 holes of championship golf and conference and enrichment center – but it’s the soccer side of the area that received some tremendous upgrades. The Truist Soccer Complex at Bryan Park is a massive space dedicated to the world’s most popular sport. The complex features 21 soccer fields – including MacPherson Stadium, which seats 3,000 and is fully lit – and a myriad of amenities such as locker rooms, an on-site medical/training room, and a field house. But most recently the biggest news has been the addition of two brand new AstroTurf fields, along with new lighting on five fields – upgrades made possible with support of the City, the Joseph M. Bryan Foundation, and the Greensboro Sports Foundation. For Austin Homan, who serves as the head of operations for NC Fusion – the nonprofit sports organization that manages Bryan Park – the new renovations are a big deal. “The additional turf fields and lights at Bryan Park are a game changer for our local, regional, and national programming and events,” Homan said. “Not only do these improvements keep us competitive with major facilities across the country, but they also allow for more field usage throughout the year without negatively impacting grass field conditions. These are such a great addition to Bryan Park and Greensboro!” 14
