Mayor Bob Kellar and the Santa Clarita City Council will break ground for an 11-acre improvement between the basketball courts and community garden at the far end of the park.

Construction is expected to be completed in spring or summer of 2014. The improvement will include two new, full-size, lighted, multi-use sports fields, 170 new parking stalls, lighted walkways connecting to existing park facilities, an improved running path, irrigation, landscaping and drinking fountains.

City staff hope the new fields will help them accommodate the many teams, youth and sports groups who use the parks year-round for practice, training, and games.

The groundbreaking is open to the public. For more information or to RSVP, contact Corrina Knudson 661-255-4939 or email at CKnudson@Santa-Clarita.com.
