sports complex
Multi-venue athletic center
A sports complex is a facility containing multiple athletic venues, fields, or courts in one location.
The term typically describes large sites with several playing surfaces—often a mix of soccer fields, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, and similar facilities—along with shared amenities like parking and concessions: The city built a new sports complex with twelve soccer fields and a swimming center.
