The Guerriero & Guerriero Soccer Complex is located about 2 miles east of the Pecanland Mall down Millhaven Avenue, inside of Chennault Park.Â
If you are coming from the west on I-20
Take Exit 120 off of Interstate 20 and go north. The Mall will be on your left. Go to the stop sign and turn right on Millhaven (heading east). Millhaven runs parallel with Interstate 20. So, you should see the Interstate on your right, and a set of railroad tracks on your left. Go about 2 miles and you will see a sign for Chennault Park on your left. Turn left into Chennault Park. Once inside the park, you will see the soccer complex on your right, through the tree line. Go about 1/2 of a mile and turn right into the soccer complex.
Â
If you are coming from the east on I-20 (from Mississippi)Â
Take Exit 124 and go to your right (to the north). You will see an empty lot which used to be a factory to your left. Turn left (heading west) on the first street, which is Millhaven (don’t cross the railroad tracks). Millhaven runs parallel with Interstate 20. So, you should see the Interstate on your left, and a set of railroad tracks on your right. Go about 2 miles and you will see a sign for Chennault Park on your right. Turn right into Chennault Park (you can now cross the railroad tracks). Once inside the park, you will see the soccer complex on your right, through the tree line. Go about 1/2 of a mile and turn right into the soccer complex.
Pets are NOT allowed at the complex. For the safety of all at the complex and for sanitary reasons, we do not allow pets of any size at the complex. You will be asked to leave if you bring a pet to the complex.
Smoking is not permitted at the complex. Little lungs are at work!
Please pick up after yourself and your team to keep our complex clean and free of trash.
Drive slowly and watch for little ones as you drive through and park. Be courteous of other drivers - there's a lot of traffic going down the drive at the same time. Do not hinder the flow of traffic with your creative parking spaces.
Above all, have fun and enjoy the time being spent with family and friends while enjoying "the beautiful game"!
