Site work for a playground / park / athletic field in Paso Robles, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

Larry Moore Park was planned in the 1980's as part of the Riverbank Residential Development and was initially designed to serve that neighborhood. In 2016, the City removed the park and adjacent landscape parkway from the Landscape and Lighting District and accepted the park into the City's park system (also at that time, a new playground was installed and restrooms upgraded). Currently, the City lacks three baseball diamonds and two youth soccer fields based on the available inventory and current demand--this is further compounded by the loss of the Pioneer Park baseball field. To meet this increase in demand, an entire redevelopment of the park is recommended including, but not limited to, two lighted baseball/softball fields, multi-use sports turf area, parking area, picnic areas, and a basketball court. In April 2024, City Council approved a contract for design services and environmental review. It is anticipated that the conceptual designs be reviewed and approved by Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee in the upcoming year, with construction beginning in FY 2026-27. Funding for the design and environmental services comes from developer impact fees and the proceeds from the sale of Pioneer Park. Funding for construction is contingent on state grant funding, with the City's local match being met with developer impact fees. As of August 3, 2024, this project is included in the city's 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
