Wellen Park (formerly known as the West Villages[1]) is a planned community located in Sarasota County, Florida, United States.

The majority of Wellen Park is located along US 41 and River Road within the city limits of North Port, with some portions of the community extending into unincorporated Sarasota County.

In May 2014, a partnership, including Mattamy Homes and Vanguard Land and other developers, invested about $100 million to purchase approximately 9,600 acres (3,900 ha) that represented the remainder of the former Berry and Taylor family ranch, rebranding the community as the West Villages.

By hosting the stadium, Wellen Park intends future activities, events and opportunities for its residents as well as visitors from throughout the region and the country.
