PROJECT OVERVIEW: 

 

The Gage Elementary Joint-Use Field field includes a new natural turf field, walking and running path, drinking fountain, security gates, and fencing. 

 

BACKGROUND:

               

Capital projects are funded by San Diego Unified's Propositions S and Z, which     are local bond measures approved by San Diego voters to repair, renovate and revitalize neighborhood schools. 

As part of the Play All Day partnership with the City of San Diego, the joint-use field will be accessible to the community as a local park after school hours and during school breaks. You can read more about the initiative here. A detailed fact sheet of the Gage Elementary joint-use field can be found here. 

 

PARKING:  

 

Media can enter through the gate on Hudson Drive (they can drive their vehicles in). However, we ask that drivers be mindful there are students that will be in the area.
