Philadelphia Union announces $55 million multi-sport complex for Chester waterfront

CHESTER, Pa. — A $55 million that will transform parking areas near Subaru Park into a multi-sport complex was unveiled by the Philadelphia Union here on Tuesday afternoon.

Known as the WSFS Bank Sportsplex, the new facility will expand the existing fields on the campus from the two unlit grass training fields to seven lit outdoor grass and turf fields and include a 100,000-square-foot fieldhouse with indoor turf field and two full-sized indoor courts. There will also be a 20,000-square-foot indoor performance center with professional weight room and sprint track.

As part of the new development near the Delaware River waterfront, the Philadelphia Union Academy and the affiliated YSC Academy school will be relocating to Chester from Wayne.
