Let’s Talk Solutions
Can ONE project be a catalyst to help solve many existing local problems like parks?
The Answer is YEs.
Conceptual rendering.
Redwood City has a shortage of active park
and recreation facilities. The city is below statewide
standards for parks, which has forced youth and
adult sports teams to compete over these limited
fields and facilities.
The 50/50 Balanced
Plan will reduce the
shortage of parks and make
Redwood City a leader in
parks and recreation lands
on the Peninsula.
The 50/50 Balanced
Plan includes a 60+
acre multiple use sports
complex (with more
than a dozen new soccer
and baseball fields as well as basketball and other
facilities) and more than 100 acres of Bayside
recreation parks and other neighborhood parks.
This expansion of city park and recreation lands
“We recently had tryouts and once again we
have more kids who want to play than we can
accommodate effectively due to the shortage
of fields. The city understands the need, but has
limited resources. New field space in Redwood
City paid for by a private developer would
really help with the problem.”—Dan Gibson,
Redwood City Resident and Baseball Organizer
will be funded by the 50/50 Balanced Plan – with all
costs borne by the project.
So when groups keep arguing that housing
should be built in downtown or along the El Camino
Real corridor (which we
agree with) where will
other important public
benefits, like parks, be
located? What’s their plan
for addressing parks?
The Saltworks site,
because of its scale, can
satisfy this important
community need.
But don’t take our
word for it. See for
yourself. Examine the facts. Ask for a thorough
evaluation of our proposal and the opportunities –
all of the opportunities – presented by the
Saltworks site.
