Schedule a groundbreaking event and a ribbon-cutting event for the Youth Soccer <br />Field. <br /> <br />3. POCKET SOCCER FIELDS <br />Due to the increasing demand for more soccer fields and the limited amount of open space in <br />Santa Ana, a request was made to look into the possibility of installing mini-soccer fields. <br />Staff sent out a survey to 27 Orange County cities, requesting information on mini-soccer <br />fields. Ofthe 27 cities, 16 cities responded to the survey. Four cities (Garden Grove, <br />Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, and Rancho Santa Margarita) indicated they have mini- <br />soccer fields and the rest indicated there is no interest for mini-soccer fields. <br /> <br />Other factors need to be considered prior to establishing a mini -soccer field. Is the park large <br />enough to lose passive open space for this sport activity, do we have sufficient parking, is the <br />park facility being over used for active sports vs. passive open space, is this additional <br />activity going to be accepted by the neighborhood? Two possible sites were discussed. <br />Proposal needs to be discussed with the soccer organization along with establishing a new fee <br />for mini-soccer fields. <br /> <br />'-' <br />
