Argyle Town Council is considering significant upgrades to the soccer fields at Argyle Unity Park, following ongoing complaints about their condition. During the April 21, 2025, meeting, council members discussed the need for improvements after public works staff reported multiple issues, including uneven surfaces and drainage problems.

Bobby, a council member, highlighted that the soccer fields have been a source of frustration for local families, with parents often moving cones to mark hazardous areas. To address these concerns, the council is looking into a proposal for a comprehensive renovation, which includes laser leveling the fields and replanting with Bermuda grass. The estimated cost for this project is around $100,000, covering approximately 27,000 square feet.

The council is also considering the timing of the project. A landscape company suggested that the best time to undertake the renovations would be in the fall, allowing for optimal grass growth by spring, just in time for the soccer season. This timeline would provide the council with additional planning time, although costs may increase by then.

Additionally, discussions touched on potential partnerships with the Argyle Independent School District, which is developing new athletic facilities. The possibility of renting the school's soccer fields was raised, as the Argyle Youth Soccer Association (AYSA) already has a relationship with the district for other sports.

The council's focus on improving the soccer fields reflects a commitment to enhancing community recreational facilities and addressing the needs of local sports organizations. As the council moves forward, the proposed upgrades are expected to significantly improve the playing conditions for athletes and families in Argyle.
