Join us on September 13 for the Ribbon Cutting! See the Events Page for more information!
The Seacrest Soccer Complex was formerly Atlantic High School. As part of the Bond Referendum voted by the citizens in January 2004, the City was able to purchase eight acres of the land, which included a large multipurpose field, tennis courts, basketball courts and two softball fields. This was done to create a soccer facility to help relieve the scheduling stress at Miller Park. Renovations of the facility cost approximately $3 million and the city was able to construct a concession stand with restrooms, staff office, storage room and three regulation soccer fields. This complex will be home to recreational and travel leagues in soccer and lacrosse and will host local and state-wide tournaments.
Reservations for athletic fields can be made by calling Tom Kwiatek at (561) 243-7255 or email Tom at kwiatek@ci.delray-beach.fl.us. OR you can visit the Permit and Rental page to print a Permit Application.
Thor Guard Lightning Prediction System
The Seacrest Soccer Complex is equipped with the Thor Guard Lightning Prediction System. This system can detect lightning within a 12-mile radius, and the warning will consist of a one 15-second blast of a horn and a strobe light will begin to flash. The horn and the strobe light are attached to the top of the concession buildings. The horn is audible throughout the park and the strobe light is visible.
When park-goers hear or see this signal, all activities shall be suspended; they should leave the fields and immediately seek an appropriate, safe shelter which includes large buildings, lightning shelters, automobiles/trucks, or tunnels with no standing water. Do Not Stay in Dugouts! People should avoid open areas, water, tall trees, metal fences, overhead wires and power lines, high ground areas, telephones and cellular phones, radios, and small, unprotected shelters like dugouts. Anyone who does not follow these guidelines and remains outdoors or in an inappropriate area or shelter will do so at their own risk.
The system will also detect safe conditions after a storm has passed and activities may resume only after three 5-second blasts of the horn are sounded, and the strobe light stops flashing.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Rodger Ribeiro, CPRP, Recreation Superintendent, at (561) 243-7256 or email Rodger at ribeiro@ci.delray-beach.fl.us.
