In early 2013 the Indian River Lacrosse Association, Inc. (IRLAX) was formed to address field needs to advance lacrosse in Indian River County. Fortunately, through a unique partnership with county government and volunteer efforts for pro-bono design and engineering, a plan materialized, and we are pleased to have four new fields that opened in the south part of the county in August 2013. These multi-purpose fields are a second home to hundreds of children with a passion for not only lacrosse but many youth recreational sports. In addition to the fields, the South County Park also includes tennis and basketball courts, as well as a well- equipped playground.
