Project Scope

The project will convert the natural turf ballfield #3 at the Glendale Sports Complex to an artificial turf softball field.  The proposed project will convert the entire playing field with artificial turf including the baseball infield and foul ball territory.  The field will be striped both for softball (foul lines) and a U-12 soccer field (center circle, halfway line, penalty area, goal area, sidelines, and end lines).  The dimensions of the softball field will remain the same.

Funding

The budget for the design phase was $250,000 in CIP funds. City Council adopted the FY 2023-24 budget which included $1,750,000 in Measure S funding for the construction phase of this project. 

Status Update

The project plans received permit approvals in October 2021, but the approvals expired in 2022. Staff was directed to resubmit plans to plan check for re-review and approvals.  Project plans were resubmitted to Building & Safety on October 18, 2023, and received comments on 6/18/2024, and the corrections are currently being addressed by the design consultant.   This project is anticipated to receive permit approvals in Spring 2025.  Construction is anticipated for 4-5 months starting Summer 2025.
