Hi There, Marion Ashley here playing centerfield at Perris Valley Big League Dreams. We are nearing completion of this $25 Million sports park project scheduled to open for use in January. This site will be home to six baseball/softball fields, four of them scaled-down versions of major league stadiums including replicas of Angel Stadium as you see here, Dodger Stadium, Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. Game watchers will enjoy stadium type seating like you would find at a major league ballpark, but even better than the majors because our seating areas will be cooled on hot days by a misting system. The site will also have a 14,825 sq.-ft. restaurant, 2,828 sq.-ft. concession building, batting cages, two covered artificial turf soccer stadiums, two playground areas, two open turf areas, administration building and a maintenance building. The facility will be able to handle corporate events in the covered soccer arenas and the open turf areas. There will be ample parking with 605 spaces. Construction of the project has created an estimated 400 construction jobs and will bring needed recreational activities to the area. The project is expected to create approximately 50 jobs. This number should rise to about 75 after one year. Soon, just across the street from this sports park will be the Perris Valley Aquatic Center. The project will be composed of a competition swim area and a themed recreational water park providing another great recreational facility for the Perris Valley. This project is moving forward as the bids for design/build were received in June. The Marion V. Ashley Community Center & Child Care Facility is now complete and open for use in the City of Menifee. The $10 Million LEED certified facility benefits the surrounding community with new access to childcare, recreation, and special events. The center will feature a full service concession and commercial kitchen, gym for recreational and community events, multi-purpose room, and staff offices. The 12-acre park site that includes: two ball fields, tot lot, picnic shelters and a lighted walking trail around the ball fields. The childcare center has six classrooms with one toddler room, and is able to serve approximately 160 kids. Also in Perris Valley, a site along Trumble Road was recently remediated of contaminated soil thanks to redevelopment and design bid build of landscape improvements along Trumble Road from SR74 North to Mapes Road to enhance the main doorway to the Big League Dreams and Aquatic Center facilities. The property is ready for development. Hwy 74 Beautification phases 1, 2 and 3 are now complete. The $7.5 Million improvements included the installation of curbs and gutters, trees, landscaping and bus turnouts on the 1.5 mile stretch of Highway 74 between Trumble and Palomar roads. The stretch of Highway 74 serves as a gateway to Perris from the south and east. Future development for that area also calls for the construction of a four-story hotel, restaurants, and a gas station. Eller Park is complete and open for use. This new park fills the once blighted corner of Highway 74 & Antelope Road. The stunning $2 million park features a lighted baseball/softball diamond, basketball court, walking trail, restroom/concession building, two large picnic areas, an open turf area, and a tot-lot play area. The park will brings a great recreational zone to the community for the enjoyment of local residents for years to come. Cabazon Civic Center is currently under construction. The project will include 6,490 square foot County library, a 13,045 square foot child care facility and counseling center operated by Family Services Association, and an administration facility for the Cabazon Water District. An expansion of the existing park is also planned on the site with the addition of two new basketball courts, skate park, restroom building, and park maintenance building for the EDA Community Services Division. Shaded picnic areas will also be added as well as a new playground area. The library and child care center will take advantage of their proximity to Cabazon Elementary School and the James A. Venable Community Center. The Civic Center will provide the community of Cabazon much needed services as well as recreational amenities that can’t be matched in the area. Cabazon Design Guidelines for the community of Cabazon, including, but not limited to, architecture, landscape and building guidelines. The guidelines have been completed and now are in review with County Planning. Design and Construction is underway for the Cabazon Trunk Sewer Line A, a collection system and package treatment plant that would be able to process 100,000 gallons per day. The new sewer will give local residents the ability to switch their septic tank to a sewer line and will help bring in new development that was once contingent on the creation of the system.
