DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA)’s Parks, Fleet, Facilities, and Refuse Services
Division is responsible for overseeing the maintenance and improvements of Santa Ana
City parks and facilities. In May 2022, the City Council approved the Parks Master Plan
(PMP) to guide the City’s investment in parks, recreation facilities, trails, and open
spaces over ten years. The PMP identifies key initiatives, including managing and
maintaining parks and recreation assets through good stewardship.
The Park Maintenance team currently maintains six soccer fields and 35 baseball fields.
The sports fields require routine preventative maintenance to provide safe, green, and
playable grounds. The citywide renovation schedule closes the fields to allow turf to
recover from usage and provides staff the opportunity to aerate, reseed, and allow time
for the seed to germinate; thus, providing optimal playing conditions (Exhibit 1).
To develop the schedule, staff evaluated the location to determine the best time of year
for field renovation and coordinated with various user groups to reduce the impacts of
field closures. Staff alternates the annual renovation cycles to not impact the same
league or sport consistently. The Citywide Sports Field Maintenance Schedule will be
shared with impacted sports leagues and posted on the City website. Moreover, all
fields will have signs posted indicating closure dates.
