DISCUSSION:
South Fontana Park is a priority one project that involves the construction of a new 18 acre park in the southern area of the City. The proposed site is located at 16647 Santa Ana Avenue between Cypress and Juniper Avenues. The new park will provide new amenities to the surrounding community and will also enhance the streetscape along Santa Ana Avenue.
The new park amenities to be located within South Fontana Park include:
• Four (4) artificial turf fields with football and soccer field striping
• Restroom/concession building
• Two (2) storage buildings
• Playground/Tot lot area
• Exercise equipment area
• Sports field lighting for nighttime use of the fields
• Walking path
• 521 parking spaces
• Shade structures for spectators at the fields as well as at the exercise equipment area
• New landscape throughout the park
This project will also include a landscape median at the front of the park along Santa Ana Avenue. This will not only enhance the streetscape along Santa Ana Avenue but it will also enhance traffic circulation of the area by reducing conflicting turn movements along the main driveway of the park along Santa Ana Avenue.
