Document Description
The project involves the renovation of the athletic fields located on the northern portion of the existing Harvest Park Middle School campus (“Middle School”) in the City of Pleasanton, including playfield repair at the existing sod field, and a new synthetic turf field with synthetic track to replace the existing grass field and track. Hardcourt improvements are also part of the project, including resurfacing, restriping, and shade structures. Related site work, minor grading, landscaping, utilities, and related improvements are also part of the project scope. The project does not contemplate any new uses of the Middle School. This project will provide enhanced safety conditions for users of the field and will generally benefit District students, staff, and the local community. Construction is anticipated to commence in 2026. The campus will have substantially the same purpose and capacity upon the completion of the project.
