SAN JOSE, Calif. – The City of San Jose, San Jose Earthquakes and the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy are exploring a new partnership to develop a seven-field soccer project at the Guadalupe Gardens, which would help meet the community’s growing demand for recreational amenities and enhance the Downtown San Jose park.
While specific details of the project are still being worked out, the partners are currently envisioning a 44-acre project that would include:
- Four lighted artificial turf soccer fields dedicated for public use;
- Three soccer fields and an adjacent building that would be used for the Earthquakes’ Soccer Academy and available for certain community use and access;
- Enhancements to seven acres of public open space, including new trails, benches, trees and improved connectivity between the Heritage Rose Garden and Orchard and the rest of the park.
