Shafter Community Park Project

Shafter Community Park Project

The project consists of a requested General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to allow for the construction of a two-phase recreation and sports park on a 42.4-acre site located at the northwest corner of East Ash Avenue and Golds Avenue in the City of Shafter. The project would be developed in two phases. Phase 1 would include the construction of various recreational fields and courts for baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, and handball, as well as children’s playground and barbecue areas totaling approximately 20 acres. Phase 1 would also include a 340-square-foot restroom, a 1,300-square-foot concession stand with restroom, a 1,000-square-foot storage building, one 720-square-foot office, and three parking areas composed of 336 parking spaces. Phase 2 would include the construction of various recreational features and courts such as an outdoor gym, tennis/pickle ball courts, kids fit course, dog-park, barbecue area, and track field. Phase 2 would also include the construction of a 26,725-square-foot gym/multi-purpose room, a 1,500-square-foot shop, a 1,000-square-foot restroom, maintenance yard, and 2-parking areas composed of 388 parking spaces. Street construction included in Phase 2 would include the remaining portion of the access road along the north and west boundaries of the park. An on-site retention basin, sized per a drainage study reviewed and approved by the City Engineer, would also be developed at the site. Additionally, an on-site drywell and filtration unit would also be developed to filter raw irrigation water provided by the Shafter-Wasco Irrigation District and supplemented by an offsite water well.
