Norm Ross Sports Park Improvement Project

The City of Stanton (“City”) prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) for the Norm Ross Sports Park Improvement Project (the “Project”). The Project entails the redevelopment of the underutilized Norm Ross Sports Park at 11111 Cedar Street, in the City of Stanton. The Project would develop a little league baseball field, lighting poles, a U-12 soccer field, a multipurpose sports court, a playground, a courtyard amphitheater, shaded picnic areas, a community garden, a storage building, a park building with restrooms, a new water basin, a pedestrian bridge, a new perimeter wall on the east- and south-side of the Project site, new perimeter fencing on the west- and north-side of the Project site, a utility/emergency entrance, a utility access area, and a small and large dog park. The Project would further upgrade an existing pedestrian bridge. In addition, the Project would reorient the existing little league baseball field so that home plate is on the southwest corner of the field near the existing parking lot and add a U-12 soccer field over the same area. Field improvements also include new sports lighting, two shaded bleachers, two shaded dug outs, a field storage structure, a trash enclosure, and two free standing drinking fountains. On June 24, 2025, the City Council approved the Project and adopted Resolution No. 2025-28, the IS/MND, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) for the Project. The City also approved a Joint Lease Agreement between the City of Stanton and the Garden Grove Unified School District and approved the conceptual site plan for the Project.
