The Pittsburg Premier Fields project is transforming the former Delta View Golf Course at West Leland Road & John Henry Johnson Parkway into a recreational multi-sports field. This is located on an approximately 18-acre vacant site at the southeast corner of John Henry Johnson Parkway and West Leland Road, in the City of Pittsburg The site was formerly part of the 165-acre Delta View Golf Course, which closed in march 2018.
According to the project description, upon two phase completion, the project is estimated at $16.5 million.
This multi-phase project will feature 7 multi-purpose fields and a track & field course, helping make Pittsburg a regional hub for sports and recreation!
According to the city, the project will be split into two phases. The first phase of the Project aims to enhance community amenities by installing one multipurpose field near the intersection of West Leland Road and John Henry Johnson Parkway. The project will construct one multipurpose field with trails circling the facility that connect to existing trails, traffic signal control intersection improvements, parking lot which will include lighting, landscape, irrigation, water quality features, site furnishing, tree plantings, and other amenities within the project limits. This project will create a much-needed space for community members to participate in sporting events within their hometown.
In the second phase the other two fields, restroom and sports highlighting will be constructed
According to the city, the site was originally developed as the Pittsburg Golf and Country Club in the mid-1900s. In 1960, the United States federal government deeded the property to the City as part of the transfer of the Camp Stoneman Rifle Range Park Site. The City maintained the property as a public golf course until early 2018, when golf course operations ceased.
