Project Description The purchase of land for future parks is identified in the Bikeways, Trails Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the General Plan. In 2015, the City acquired property for future development of a 23-acre softball and baseball field complex at the corner of Tennant and Condit. In 2017 and 2019, the City completed the purchases of approximately 14 acres of additional property adjacent to the Outdoor Sports Center and Dennis Kennedy Morgan Hill Aquatics Center. The additional acres are currently land banked for future sports park facilities. Since this site and the ball field site are located in the County, payment of property taxes for both sites are accounted for in this project. The future City parkland purchase and development priorities outlined in the Master Plan include the purchase, planning and development of two new neighborhood parks and one new community park located on the east side of the City. Fiscal Year 20/21 has funding allocated for the future land banking of one of these neighborhood park sites. The other park acquisition and developments are not planned in the current six-year CIP, unless grant funding becomes available. The City is working actively on the planning to develop the two land banked park properties.
