Youth Fields

Preserving the family tradition of Youth Sports with new and improved facilities

Mission Bay Youth Fields host community-based youth sport organizations such as, but not limited to, Mission Bay Little League, Mission Bay Girls Softball and Pacific Youth Soccer League. These organizations are focused on the personal growth and development of our local children through competitive sports. They serve Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, and La Jolla.

The families that play here typically come from the local area and players attend schools such as: PB Elementary, Kate Sessions, PBMS, MBHS, BirdRock, Muirlands, LJHS, and private schools such as All Hallows, Evans, Horizon, etc. Parents enjoy running into neighbors and meeting and making new friends. These youth sporting leagues serve players ranging in age from 4 to 18 years of age.

Updating the Facilities; Maintaining the Tradition of Youth Sports

The MBG project intends to design and build all new facilities including new fields, grandstands, fences, snack shack, restrooms, proper storage and "tot lot" playgrounds. In addition, new construction will allow the facilities to be resized and organized to meet current and future needs properly.

Currently there is a tot lot off to the side that is underutilized because it is out of sight of parents. MGB proposes putting a tot lot play area in the middle of the fields so parents can watch the games and the younger siblings at the same time.

A new soccer field is added as the area has a shortage of soccer fields. As this field is tucked into the golf course area it is important that the golf course holes be oriented to hit away from the soccer field as well as add proper protective fencing.

These facilities could be joint-used for youth oriented programs with programs at the guest housing facility.

Parking is currently inadequate. MBG has identified 375 parking spaces to be shared between the youth fields and adjacent facilities.

All current uses and agreement should be maintained and enhanced by the new facilities
