On May 16, 2024, Cordova Recreation & Park District (CRPD) and the community celebrated the successful completion of Rosemont Community Park Sport Courts Project (project)!
The community’s input, feedback and unwavering support have been instrumental in shaping this project every step of the way. Leading up to submittal of grant applications for this project back in 2020, CRPD attended multiple meetings in the community including the Rosemont Community Association, the Rosemont Friday Night Food Truck Events in the summer and the Annual Rosemont Community Celebration where we solicited direct feedback through online surveys.
After this extensive outreach process, CRPD discovered that the neighbors of Rosemont were in support of renovating the existing tennis courts and providing more amenities for teens such as pickleball and basketball. From the initial planning stages to the final design, the community’s vision has guided CRPD and made this project truly community-driven.
This project has been nothing short of transformative. What once stood as four tennis courts has now been reborn into a dynamic multi-sport court facility that includes one basketball court, two pickleball courts and two tennis courts.
The total project costs including design was approximately $615,000. The Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG), administered by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) contributed $165,630. The American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds administered by Sacramento County contributed $250,000 and CRPD’s MyParks Enhancement Fund (Measure J) contributed the remainder of around $200,000.
It is through these vital sources of funding that CRPD has been able to turn the community’s dreams into reality, creating a space that will enrich the lives of community members for years to come.
CRPD looks forward to the countless memories and experiences that will be created at the new sport courts!
