The City of Merced has engaged the Sports Facilities Companies, an industry leading sport and recreation consulting, development, and management firm, to complete a feasibility, optimization, and recreation master plan of Community Park 42 North. The property is situated on the South-easternmost corner of the city, between residential and agricultural properties, and sits along the Atwater Merced Business loop, surrounded by three highways, UC Merced, and a new commercial shopping plaza, including a new convention center. The first phase of the park’s development is currently underway and is referenced as CP-42 South (Phase 1). The second phase of the park’s development has been initiated by contributions from local school districts who dedicated land to the use of the park as a regional sports complex. This parcel is referred to as CP-42 North and will serve as the overall second phase of development. The City of Merced is seeking the community’s engagement and feedback in the planning of CP-42 North.
