City Park Way Temporary Closure:  August 2022 - December 2022

CityPark Way Closure Pls Excuse the Disruption (Pedestrian Access)

Beginning August 1, City Park Way was closed to vehicle and pedestrian access. The road closure was necessary to install the deep utilities (Water, Sewer and Storm), creek and road reconstruction, and other construction activities related to the Recreation and Aquatic Center Project. City Park Way was closed through December 2022.   

Park patrons accessed the park through the pedestrian pathways located:

  • near the north end of De Soto Way (the former pool parking lot)
  • near Tom Lara field
  • near the rear of baseball diamond #2
  • near the west end of San Felipe Avenue

Vehicle traffic could not access City Park Way at Crystal Springs/Oak.  Vehicle traffic was detoured down to El Camino Real, and up Santa Lucia Avenue to access the former pool parking lot.  Please use caution in and around the area, and we appreciate your patience as we build our new community facility!
