The Outdoor Sports Assessment is now complete. With help from our consultant, Verde Design, the City reviewed our current sports fields and courts. We also looked at what other cities are doing and asked the community for input through surveys and meetings. The final report was shared with City Council and will help guide future planning for outdoor sports spaces in Sunnyvale.
