Hello Everyone,

We find ourselves in the “dog days” of summer*, and the hot and sultry weather has not slowed down activity in July.

An already busy sports calendar for the Complex was added to with the Collier County July 4 celebration just a few weeks ahead of time to prepare.

I was genuinely humbled by the can do attitude of the County Parks, Risk Management staff, along with our first responders and other County contractors to pull together and create a fantastic event for the community. Special mention to our very own Marissa Baker who quarterbacked the event keeping all those involved connected and on task.

For many, it would have been the first time that they visited the Complex and hope that they continue to return to all of the exciting entertainment options we provide, alongside our sporting and recreational offerings.

Delivering the July 4^th event directly followed by our largest sporting event of the summer, FBU Top Gun, was a challenge. This was met head on by my staff and I was grateful to receive positive feedback on behalf of the team from Commissioner LoCastro on how impressed he was at the organization and cleanliness of the Complex for our Sporting visitors directly after such a huge event only 24 hours prior.

The importance of events such as Top Gun to our local community and economy cannot be underestimated. Thousands of sports tourists visited Collier County in a traditionally quiet time for tourism in the area. The post event survey read extremely well with over 86% of visitors saying that they would likely return to the destination on vacation. 

As we head into August we welcome back all of the local sports groups who call Paradise Coast Sports Complex home. The need for more fields for our kids to play sports in this area is reflected in the demand for time at Paradise Coast.

I am happy to welcome Seacrest County Day School to the Paradise Coast team with the school partnering with us to take advantage of the excellent facilities we have here. 

Finally we are excited to announce Tuesday as Poker night at the Cove, adding to our Bingo night on Wednesday.

Stay Lucky!

Adrian

*Dog Days of Summer - got me wondering where that term came from. A quick google search turned out that it is from Roman times based on a constellation.
