Park Projects

• Located within the Twelve Bridges community, bordered by Bella Breeze Drive, Cabra Street, and a nature preserve.
• The park master plan was approved and adopted in March 2024. The ultimate park concept and phasing information can be viewed on the project page linked below.

Bella Breeze Park Master Plan

• Located within the Lincoln Crossing neighborhood, adjacent to Scott M. Leaman Elementary School.
• Design Concepts were approved by the Park & Recreation Committee on September 7, 2022. 

• Construction has commenced with grading operations underway. As it is an active construction site, the park will be completely fenced off and no access will be allowed for everyone’s safety. The exhibit below provides alternative pedestrian routes. The park site will remain closed for the duration of the construction period through June 2025.  For any questions or concerns related to this project, contact email Travis Williams or call 916-434-3233.

• The new 5.4-acre park will include sport court for basketball and futsal, multi-use field for soccer and picnicking, sand volleyball court, ping pong table and cornhole goals, and two play structures (one for ages 2-5 and one for ages 5-12), a parking lot and additional access points at all sides of the site for pedestrian access. Also, the Project will include a restroom building, shade shelter, barbeque grills, drinking fountains, and benches. The plan below provides the vision for the park once completed. 

Jimenez Park Phase 3

• Located within the Lincoln Crossing neighborhood, bordered by Groveland Lane and Ferrari Ranch Road.
• Phase 3 improvements will include a lighted soccer field, minor concrete work such as curb and sidewalk, drainage facilities and pocket picnic trellis, as well as parking lot improvements.
• As of July 10, the contractor has completed all underground utility work and has begun paving the parking lot. Sports light poles are being raised and will be installed in the coming weeks, along with some landscaping. We anticipate installing the soccer field sod in the coming month. This work does require a full park closure, which went into effect on June 4. The aerial images below show the progress made to date.

• Due to the construction of parking lot improvements, the existing gravel parking lot is closed, eliminating the safe and accessible pathway to all park amenities. Parking lot construction and park closure began June 4 and is anticipated through November 2024. A map showing the parking lot construction area is below.

  

• Construction updates will be announced on the front page of the City’s website under Newsroom and Notices.
