Chula Vista civic leaders reopened Lauderbach Park Wednesday, following extensive renovations since it was closed to the public in March 2022.
The park, at 333 Oxford St., adjacent to J Calvin Lauderbach Elementary School, now features new basketball courts which have lines for two pickleball courts, a new synthetic turf multi-purpose field and sidewalks, field lighting and more.
According to the city, funding for the project included a $1 million state parks grant and $820,000 from Measure P, the half-cent, 10-year sales tax passed by Chula Vista voters in 2016.
The 3.9-acre park also features two “tot lots,” restrooms and picnic areas. Rick Engineering provided the design and 3Sixty Innovations was the contractor for the project.
Chula Vista Mayor John McCann, District 4 Councilwoman Andrea Cardenas attended the reopening ceremony, as did community guests.
Lauderbach Park is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
