Dodgers Dream Field Complex Project

Dodgers Dream Field Complex Project

The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks (DRP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), in partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers Dream Foundation, have prepared a joint Environmental Assessment (EA), Initial Study (IS), and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), intended to meet the requirements of both the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The document addresses the environmental consequences of the Dodgers Dream Field, proposed for development at Anthony C. Beilenson Park, within the central sector of the Sepulveda Basin in Los Angeles, California. The proposed Project would include development of a National Wheelchair-Softball Association (NWSA) softball field for ages six (T-ball) to adult. The Proposed Project would encompass approximately one-acre within the Sepulveda Basin. The land proposed for development is owned by the Corps and operated by the DRP. The maximum length of the field would be 150 feet and the center depth would be approximately 220 feet. Anticipated elevations of the proposed structures (fencing) would be less than the height limitation of 20 feet. The spectator seating would be portable; no permanent seating would be constructed. Upon operation, the field would be utilized during the weekdays only and typically in the later morning or early afternoon hours. The patrons would be bused to the site, dropped of during playtime, and picked up after the game has completed. The bus would not park at the parking facility, but instead would park off-site along Balboa Boulevard. The origin of the patron would primarily be nearby schools (the exact original is based on the need of the NWSA field, which would fluctuate year to year). There would be a maximum of two games per day and no games would occur during the evening hours.
