McNeil Park

Description

The city's 4.86-acre park on the former El Portal Elementary site with a soccer field, playground, basketball court, restroom building, and 28 parking spaces, anticipated for construction in 2027.

Impact summary

A big win for a park-poor neighborhood; artificial turf drew debate over injuries and PFAS, with a safer-infill study underway.
