BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita owns approximately 60 acres of a partially developed park site called
the Santa Clarita Sports Complex. The property is located in the central section of the City
within the Centre Pointe Industrial Park. This project will modify portions of the existing Sports
Complex park site and create a new park expansion of approximately 15 acres. Currently, the
ILP $ffil
D
developed portion of the property, which is approximately 22 acres, contains the aquatics center,
a multi-purpose activity center, a gymnasium, and a skate park.
Proposed facilities in Phase IV include a new 40,000 -square -foot skate park facility, shade
structures, a restroom building, a combination basketball/sport court, a multi -use sports field, and
an off -leash dog area. In addition, 275 lighted parking spaces will be added along with
walkways, a pedestrian drop-off and pick-up area, new trash enclosures, and landscape planting.
Bid alternates will include interlocking pavers, irrigated turf for the off -leash dog area, and
colored concrete at the skate park.
The skate park design was developed through numerous public participation meetings held in
2006 and 2007 in the development of the Council -approved Master Plan. The park site is located
near the intersection of Ruether Drive and Centre Pointe Parkway at 20850 Centre Pointe
Parkway.
On March 25, 2008, staff presented the City Council the results of a follow-up public meeting
regarding the down time of the existing skate park and the status of a temporary skate park.
Since then, grading modifications were made resulting in a reduction on the down time of the
existing skate park from six months to three months. The existing skate park will now remain
open until November 15, 2008.
On June 10, 2008, staff met with skate park community representatives to discuss the temporary
skate park elements and to update users on the updated timeline.
On June 5, 2008, the following bids were received by Purchasing:
