Osceola County is preparing for one of the most significant upgrades in the history of Osceola Heritage Park after county commissioners approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Monday night with the Orlando City Soccer Club. The agreement signals the beginning of a multi-million-dollar effort to reinvent a major section of the 200-acre event complex and strengthen its role as a regional sports and entertainment hub.

Under the terms outlined in the MOU, Osceola County and Orlando City anticipate investing up to $50 million to overhaul the area surrounding Osceola County Stadium. The project is expected to include renovations, new facilities, and expanded amenities aimed at elevating the park’s ability to host top-tier national and international events.

County leaders say the partnership represents the next stage in an already strong relationship with the club.

“This bold step aligns with the Board’s strategic vision to elevate Osceola Heritage Park as a national and international destination where sports, entertainment, and community thrive together,” Commission Chairwoman Viviana Janer said during Monday’s meeting.

“This agreement marks an important first step towards realizing our vision of building a state-of-the-art training facility for all of our teams,” said Jarrod Dillon, Orlando City SC & Orlando Pride President of Business Operations. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with Osceola County. I’d like to thank Chairwoman Janer, each of the county commissioners and the county administrative team for all of their hard work to date.”

Orlando Pride Operations to Move to Osceola

One of the most immediate impacts of the agreement will be the relocation of the Orlando Pride’s offices, support staff, and training operations to a parcel on the eastern side of the property near Bill Beck Boulevard and U.S. 192. The move will consolidate the team’s year-round activities at Osceola Heritage Park, further expanding the club’s footprint in the region.

The remainder of the complex—including the Silver Spurs Arena and event spaces that host the Silver Spurs Rodeo, Mecum Auto Auctions, the Kissimmee Valley Livestock Show, and the Osceola County Fair—will continue operating normally.

As part of the larger vision, Orlando City will build a state-of-the-art training facility and take over management of Osceola County Stadium and the adjacent public-use fields. Officials say this transition will support a stronger professional sports presence in Osceola County and bring year-round activity to an asset that has long served both the community and visitors.

More Amenities Coming to the Eastern Side of OHP

Future development plans also call for new amenities on the eastern edge of the park, including a medical facility, restaurant, and hotel. County officials believe these additions will enhance experiences for athletes and event-goers while supporting the park’s long-standing role as one of Central Florida’s busiest multi-venue destinations.

The MOU is the first major step in what will become a full development agreement in the coming months. Once finalized, it is expected to usher in a new era for Osceola Heritage Park—one that blends professional sports, major events, and community programming in a way county leaders say reflects the area’s growth and long-term vision.

Positively Osceola will continue to follow this developing story.
