ABOUT SFM

SFM exists to improve the health and economic vitality of the communities we serve. This includes our sports tourism facilities as well as our parks and recreation facilities, event centers, and aquatic centers. In 2018, we launched the SFM Access program, an initiative to provide increased access to sport to children through partnerships with local businesses.

City officials, community leaders, and private developers alike trust SFM’s reputation for delivering economic and social impact results through our professional management services. SFM is also selected during development for our design consulting, FF&E procurement, RFP management, and pre-opening business and operational development.
