Futsal Court Coming to Downtown Orlando

A futsal court is being installed in the 14.87 acre Lorna Doone Park at 1519 W. Church Street (MAP) as part of a major renovation which will involve a street closure, rezoning and master plan:
  1. ABN2016-00002 Request to abandon/close that portion of S. Rio Grande Ave. between W. Church St. and W. Central Blvd.
  2. ZON2016-00027 Rezone the park from H (Holding) to P (Public Use)
  3. MPL2016-00054 Master Plan request for development of Phase II of Lorna Doone Park
According to thefa.com, "Futsal is a five-a-side game, normally played on a flat indoor pitch with hockey sized goals and a size four ball with a reduced bounce. It is played to touchlines and all players are free to enter the penalty area and play the ball over head-height. Games are 20 minutes per half, played to a stopping clock (similar to basketball) with time-outs permitted."
