Evergreen Sportsplex is a 44-acre sports complex in Leesburg, Virginia, United States. The facility features four FIFA certified playing fields, an adventure course with ropes and zip lines, and a 1,500 seat stadium. The stadium, Cropp Metcalfe Park, is a three-story stadium with bleacher seating, locker rooms, and broadcast quality lighting. "The Cropp" also features a BBQ restaurant, VIP Skybox, a covered center concourse, offices, and a small pro shop.[2]

The complex hosts a variety of sports including lacrosse, football, and soccer. In early 2017 an announcement was made that FCBEscola, a soccer training program affiliated with FC Barcelona, had reached an agreement to become a permanent tenant at the park.[3] In early 2018, Northern Virginia United announced that Cropp Metcalfe Park at Evergreen Sportsplex would serve as the club's home stadium for their inaugural season of play in the National Premier Soccer League[4]

The facility has also been home to D.C. United summer development programs, professional soccer combines, and a high-profile friendly soccer match between the Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League and NCAA Division I women's Soccer powerhouse University of North Carolina.
