Steamboat Soccer Club is proud to announce the Lockhart Fields at Heritage Park, a lasting home for our players and the Yampa Valley community. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Ty and Betty Lockhart, the Club has secured land just west of Steamboat to develop a premier community sports facility that will serve as the heart of recreation in our region.
This visionary project will feature:
Two full-sized artificial turf fields designed for soccer and adaptable for other field sports.
Snow removal capability for extended-season play from late February through November.
Lighting systems to enable safe evening games and community events.
Site improvements & amenities, including improved parking, walkways, team benches, spectator seating, and storage facilities.
Community Benefits:
Youth Development: Thousands of children and teens gain more access to safe, reliable play.
Community Growth: Expanded field capacity relieves the strain on existing facilities.
Tourism Impact: Extended-season fields open opportunities for hosting regional tournaments and camps, drawing families and visitors to Steamboat.
Shared Resource: Facilities will serve not only soccer but also other field sports and community users.
Beyond sports, the facility will become a community gathering place - supporting families, hosting local events, and strengthening the fabric of the Yampa Valley for generations to come.
Mission
We inspire a lifelong passion for the beautiful game by creating a safe, fun, and inclusive environment that nurtures excellence, education, and enjoyment. We build character through our guiding principles empowering everyone to reach their full potential in soccer and in life.
Background Statement
The Steamboat Soccer Club has grown from a grass-roots, recreational program serving 100 players to a club offering recreational, developmental, and competitive programs for more than 1000 players. Over the past 10 years, we have transitioned from a board-run volunteer organization to a professional staff-run organization under the guidance of a Board of Directors.
