Smith Creek Soccer Center

Smith Creek Soccer Center is the Town of Wake Forest’s soccer complex, set inside the Heritage neighborhood on Heritage Lake Road. The town bought the nearly 17-acre site in 2002 and had the park built out by 2005, with three soccer fields, a shelter and a playground.

Youth and adult leagues play here, teams practice here, and tournaments come through during the season. The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources department runs it and hosts programs put on by the town and by partner groups. Field information and rentals are handled on the town website.
