Heather Farm's Sports Fields Suffer Extensive Damage; Reasons Unveiled
The sports fields at Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek, California, are currently undergoing a massive renovation, as first reported by 925 News. The project, which began in Summer 2025, is expected to continue through 2027 [2].
The renovation aims to upgrade the grass fields to synthetic turf, a move that will improve the fields' durability and playability. Construction crews have already started digging up two feet of dirt and grass from the sports fields [1].
The next steps in the renovation process involve installing drainage pads and rock, followed by cork, olive, and other springy, natural materials. The actual synthetic turf will be installed last, and the project is expected to be completed by November [2].
During the renovation process, the park will be closed for pick-up soccer games. The city determined that the grass fields were past their useful life, making the renovation necessary [1].
The renovation project is being funded by money from Measure O, a local sales tax measure passed in 2022, and a partnership with the Walnut Creek Soccer Club. The project also includes draining the pond at Heather Farm as part of a larger project to update the park's community center [1].
