The Fieldhouse at Copper Sky is located across the parking lot from the existing Copper Sky Multigenerational Center, both situated within the Copper Sky Regional Park Complex.
“One thing we were missing was a Fieldhouse, an indoor facility where we could play sports year-round, things like basketball, volleyball, indoor pickleball,” said Rocky Brown, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Maricopa, to ABC15. “[We’re an] up-and-coming and growing community. Lots of young families, lots of retirees. So, we’re just trying to be able to appeal to as many people as possible that live in our community.”
According to the city, its new indoor facility is set to “accommodate” four full-size basketball courts, or six volleyball courts, or 12 pickleball courts. The space can be divided into four separate courts or kept as one large, open area of approximately 33,000 square feet.
Brown stated that the facility will feature “Flex Spaces” adaptable for classrooms, meetings, or social hangouts, and a ‘Tournament Lobby’ for relaxing and socializing.

According to Brown, construction of the facility began in summer 2025, about a year after planning commenced. He told ABC15 that the project was driven by the need for more indoor space for youth sports such as basketball and volleyball.
“And as the community grows, the needs grow, and then we weren’t getting any more facilities to accommodate all these new residents and these new participants. So that’s when kind of the people put their heads together and said, ‘What can we do to solve this problem?’ And they’re like, Well, let’s build a Fieldhouse,” shared Brown.
