We’re excited to partner with Shelby County Government to finish and cut the ribbon on four new soccer fields with lighting at the Big Creek Resiliency Area in 2026. In the meantime, we’re making sure our local footballers have a city park to kick around. Two sets of soccer goals are now up at Aycock Park! These are two U12-sized fields, perfect for a pickup game or some extra weekend practice for Millington’s next rising soccer star. #MillingtonProud #ONEMillington
