BACKGROUND:
The Stockton Joint-Use Field project includes a new synthetic turf soccer field with an asphalt track, basketball courts, hardcourts with striping and a playground.
The project also features newly planted trees, concrete benches on the sideline of the field, and a ball stop fence between the field and play area.
The field is secured with perimeter fencing and several access gates. One gate allows public access to the field through the recreation center, while the other gates allow student access to the field from the campus.
As part of the Play All Day partnership between San Diego Unified and the City of San Diego, the joint-use field is accessible to the community as a local park after school hours and during school breaks.
San Diego Unified's capital projects are funded by San Diego Unified's Propositions S, Z and Measure YY, which are local bond measures approved by San Diego voters to repair, renovate and revitalize neighborhood schools.
Named after United States Navy commodore Robert Field Stockton, Stockton is culturally diverse, with unique small commercial centers and family-owned businesses. The neighborhood is bordered by Golden Hill to the north, Mountain View and Mt. Hope to the east, Grant Hill to the west, and Logan Heights to the south.
