Sportsman's Park

Sportsman's Park is a 16-acre Port St. Lucie park at 201 NW Prima Vista Blvd. with three baseball fields, a softball field, lighted tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, an inclusive playground and outdoor fitness equipment.

The park page dates Sportsman's Park to 1975 and calls it the home of the National Little League, and its 2 concession stands, open for games only, are operated by Little League (City of Port St. Lucie, Sportsman’s Park). The lighted playground has separate areas for ages 2 to 5 and 5 to 12 with inclusive and sensory play components, and the page describes climbing structures, spinning activities, slides, swings, a sports-themed see-saw springer and a swing that lets a parent or caregiver swing face to face with a child. Posted hours run from 8 a.m. to sunset, the sports lights carry a 9:30 p.m. curfew, and the contact number is 772-878-2277.

The U.S. Census Bureau geocoder matches the Prima Vista address as 201 PRIMA VISTA BLVD, PORT ST LUCIE, FL, 34983, inside the incorporated place Port St. Lucie city (U.S. Census Bureau geocoder, Incorporated Places layer).

Yes: Port St. Lucie requires a free court pass to play on the Sportsman's Park basketball courts, picked up at Minsky Gym, the MIDFLORIDA Event Center or the Community Center.

The notice at the top of the Sportsman's Park page calls the pass free and mandatory and gives the court pass hours as 3:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. (Sportsman’s Park, Basketball Court passes). Both basketball courts have lights.

Next to the courts, the Sportsman's Park outdoor fitness area has two cardio bikes, an elliptical cross trainer and an arm bike, plus calisthenics and stretching space. The city page says the machines are Bluetooth compatible for tracking speed, distance, cadence, watts, calories and time, and that the arm bike works for seated or standing workouts.

City pages disagree: the Sportsman's Park page lists one tennis court with lights, while the Whispering Pines Park page lists two lighted tennis courts at Sportsman's Park.

The detailed amenity list for Sportsman's Park reads one tennis court with lights, two pickleball courts with lights and two basketball courts with lights (Sportsman’s Park, Detailed Amenities). On the Whispering Pines Park and Racket and Paddle Center page, a note on city-run tennis courts beyond the 14 courts at the Whispering Pines Tennis Center credits Sportsman's Park with two lighted courts (City of Port St. Lucie, Whispering Pines Park and Racket and Paddle Center).

That Whispering Pines page also describes its Racquet and Paddle Center in Port St. Lucie with 24 pickleball courts, all with shaded grandstands and lighting.

Sportsman's Park has three baseball fields and one softball field, and Port St. Lucie's rental table names it on the baseball and softball lining row, with field rentals booked in person at the PSL Community Center.

Port St. Lucie's rate table names Sportsman's on the row for lining baseball and softball diamonds, priced at $10.56 plus tax per lining, and names Sportsman's Park West, not the main park, on the row for soccer and football lining (City of Port St. Lucie, Reservations and Rentals, Sports/Athletic Field Rentals). Diamond lights are charged by the hour at $4.88 plus tax per field. Those are the posted figures as of October 22, 2026; a field has to be booked in person at the PSL Community Center.

The Recreation and Open Space Element lists Sportsman's Park at 16 acres with an SF (Football) - A designation at 201 NW Prima Vista Boulevard, and Sportsman's Park West at 13 acres, LNP-A, at 220 NW Irving Street (Recreation and Open Space Element, park inventory). The current park page lists baseball, softball and court sports and names no football field.

Sportsman's Park drew 379,046 visits in 2024 and is number 3 on the Port St. Lucie parks master plan's high visitation list, after Whispering Pines Park and McChesney Park.

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update, using Placer Labs cell phone data, numbers its highest visitation parks in order, with Whispering Pines Park at 684,317 visits, McChesney Park at 601,992 and Sportsman's Park at 379,046 in the first three places (Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update, Park Visitation Level of Service). Counting PSL residents only, the plan lists Sportsman's Park at 199,492 visits among its high visitation locations, and the plan's unique visitor count places it among mid-tier parks at 55,899 visitors.

The same Port St. Lucie plan records an average dwell time of 102 minutes at Sportsman's, in its mid-range group, and a visit frequency of 5.04, which it calls moderately high. Sportsman's West, the separate park on NW Irving Street, shares the highest visit frequency in the system, 7.51, with Swan Park.

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update's improvement table gives Sportsman's Park a single line: redesign, renovate and expand the park.

The plan files that suggestion among potential park site improvements that it wants taken through public engagement first (Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update, Existing Park Site Needs and Improvements). In its prioritized project list, item 5 is Sportsman's Park - Phase 1 at $30 Million in planning level capital costs and $300,000 in planning level O&M costs, next to Community Center Hub projects at Torino Regional Park and Tradition Regional Park at $30 Million each. A later cost table describes that phase as renovating approximately 20 acres of Sportsman's Park, while the park page lists 16 acres. The plan's inventory lists Sportsman's Park at 16.0 acres, established in 1975, and Sportsman's Park West at 13.0 acres, established in 1985, both in the Community class, and its site observations name Sportsman's Park among parks with high levels of activity and in the lists of parks whose amenities and furnishings need replacing in the next 1 to 3 years.

The City of Port St. Lucie FY 2023-24 adopted budget lists a Sportsmans maintenance building as a park improvement project in council district 1, and its glossary defines a revenue line called Lease: Sportsman Park as revenue from the annual lease of a city park to St. Lucie County (City of Port St. Lucie, FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget, capital projects and glossary).

Last verified: October 22, 2026, against the Sportsman's Park notice, amenity list and hours, the tennis list on the Whispering Pines page, the lining and lighting rows of the rental table, the comprehensive plan rows for both Sportsman's parks, the master plan's visit figures and the FY 2023-24 budget entries.
