Construction Underway at Luther Burbank Regional Sports Complex

The City of Sacramento and the Sacramento City Unified School District have partnered on the development of a Regional Sports Complex at Luther Burbank High School.  These state-of-the-art athletic facilities will be available for use by both the school and the community. 

A groundbreaking ceremony was held in October 2009 for the $9.3 million Phase 1 of the project, with completion expected in 2011.

Phase 1 plans include a synthetic football field, soccer field and track; new bleachers; a concession stand; ticket booths; and classroom space. 

Funding for this portion of the project will come from Measure I bonds passed by voters in 2002. 

Phases 2 and 3 of the project (approximately $15.2 million) plan to include tennis courts, softball and baseball fields, and a new parking lot.  The city plans to apply for a second round of Proposition 84 money when it becomes available to finance these phases.
