California School for the Deaf-Riverside: Athletic Complex Replacement and Expansion Project

The California School for the Deaf-Riverside Athletic Complex Replacement and Expansion Project, managed by the California Department of Education, focuses on upgrading athletic fields and infrastructure at the CSDR campus in Riverside, California. The primary goals of the project are to enhance participant and spectator safety, maximize field utility, and ensure compliance with Title IX requirements. The scope of work includes replacing existing grass sports fields with new football, soccer, baseball, and softball fields, as well as replacing the decomposed granite track with a new all-weather 8-lane track. The project involves the demolition of existing athletic equipment, fencing, bleachers, and storage sheds to make way for new lighting, bleachers, dugouts, batting and pitching cages, and specialized areas for shot put, long jump, high jump, and discus. Additional infrastructure includes drinking fountains, electronic messaging systems, flagpoles, scoreboards, a press booth, and a scorekeeper booth. Support facilities will feature a photovoltaic panel canopy over the bleachers, restrooms, security features, a concession stand, a ticket booth, and equipment storage. The comprehensive plan also incorporates new pathways, vehicle parking, fencing, and renovated landscaping and irrigation systems. Environmental compliance has been addressed through a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Notice of Determination, with the project identified under state clearinghouse number 2025061335.
