VISION WITH A PURPOSE
"Building a Foundation for the Future of Americas Youth." The Family First Sports Park is changing lives — using sports as a framework and the influence sports figures have as positive role models. Our goal is to help kids. We're interested in the whole child. We're interested in building character, a "can do" attitude and giving them a purpose. As our name implies, we focus on strengthening families — helping to raise a generation of physically, emotionally and spiritually strong individuals. |

| GARY W. RENAUD, 1992 The man behind the vision. Gary's ideas and energy have been the driving force behind Family First Sports Park — a "one of a kind" Sports & Fitness Complex that uses the "magic" of sports to reach out and touch the lives of young athletes and their families, teaching character values through role models and mentoring. Gary gives God credit for the inspiration.
GRAND OPENING, 1994 The 75-acre Sports Complex starts out as a "soccer complex" with 20 outdoor fields and 2 indoor fields. Tony Meola, captain of the US National Team attends the Grand Opening on November 10th. BASKETBALL COURTS, 1996 The addition of 4 indoor hardwood floors and 8 outdoor courts in August of 1996 forever changed the perception that the Park was a soccer only complex. The 30,000 square foot addition features more than 16 shooting stations with glass backboards and breakaway rims. HOUSING & CONFERENCE CENTER, 1997 The summer of 97 saw the addition of a 116 room, 640 bed Team Housing center that features a full service kitchen along with separate conference, lounge & game room areas. FITNESS CENTER, 1998 The Parks most spectacular addition to-date is a 12,000 square foot space designed by Rudy Fabiano, that features state-of-the-art amenities, hi-tech equipment and some of the hottest group fitness classes on the planet. ALPINE TOWER & ROCK WALL, 1998-1999 The 60 foot tower visible from anywhere on the complex represents just one of a number of Leadership and Teambuilding elements added in 1998 to facilitate corporate teams youth groups and sports teams. A 34 foot high, 48 foot wide outdoor rock wall is added to accommodate fitness center members and add value to programs developed by the Leadership Institute. SAINT VINCENT SPORT MEDICINE, 2001 In a joint venture between Saint Vincent Sports Medicine and HealthSouth® a 3,000 square foot addition to the indoor arena has added a full compliment of sports rehabilitation services.
