Location candidates include Berkeley Mills Park and Jackson Park. The plan aims to build four soccer fields plus softball, pickleball and tennis facilities to serve youth and families, with timing tied to year end obligations.

With two key decisions on Wednesday Clear Creek and ARP allocation, officials consider land from Berkeley Park and Jackson Park for youth soccer, pickleball, tennis, and softball facilities. School Board Chair Jay Egolf backs parkland athletic development, seeking six tennis courts, a softball field, and three full soccer pitches to benefit students and residents.
