The City of Santa Clarita announced the start of construction for upgrades and enhancements to Old Orchard Park in Valencia.
Originally developed in 1968 as part of the Valencia master plan, Old Orchard Park is one of the City’s oldest parks, serving as a beloved gathering place for families, students and residents for decades.
The groundbreaking ceremony is set to take place at Old Orchard Park, located at 25023 Avenida Rotella on Oct 2 at 10 a.m.
Situated on 5.4 acres of scenic land, this park has provided a safe and welcoming space for the community, nestled among picturesque paseos and neighborhoods, and adjacent to Old Orchard Elementary School. After years of use, the park is set to receive a significant transformation aimed at modernizing its facilities and enhancing its offerings for the future, officials said.
The planned upgrades include various improvements designed to serve the community’s needs. These include new playground equipment with shade structures, an ADA-compliant restroom building, pickleball court overlay on the existing basketball court, as well as a brand-new multisport court which offers a variety of recreational games and opportunities for friends and family, according to City of Santa Clarita officials.
The renovation is expected to be completed by summer of 2025.
Throughout the construction process, residents are encouraged to stay informed by following the City of Santa Clarita social media pages, for updates on the park’s progress.
