City of Half Moon Bay Community Park

City of Half Moon Bay Community Park

The 21 acre park site is located in the east central portion of the City of Half Moon Bay, between Highway 92 and Pilarcitos Creek. It was until recenty a wholesale container plant field nursery. The site slopes gently from Highway 92 to Pilarcitos Creek, a perenial stream. The creek features a lush riparian vegetable corridor. The proposed improvement program for the proposed Coastside Community Park features three soccer fields, one baseball field, two tennis courts, a basketball court, a skate park, turf areas for passive and active recreation, apved loop trail around the park, bocce ball courts, horseshoe pits, picnic areas, youth and tot play areas, two restroom buildings, a 50-car parking lot and a parks maintenance yard. The parks maintenance yard would utilize the existing buildings and yard used by the plant nursery. The existing irrigation pond, which has some habitat value, would be retained, but it is not certain if it would be used for irrigation. The Pilarcitos Creek riparian corridor would be protected from recreational uses by a 50 foot buffer zone between the active recreation or support areas and the adjacent Stone Pine commercial and condominium complex, and between the park improvements and Highway 92. The buffer along Pilarcitos Creek would feature a trail, but the creek would be fenced to prevent public entry to protect the sensitive riparian habitat and to avoid hazards to the public.
