The Burns Valley Sports Complex, located in Clearlake, California, is a multi-purpose recreational facility designed to serve as a central hub for community activity, youth athletics, and regional events. The project includes a multi-sport synthetic turf field capable of accommodating a range of uses, including soccer, football, lacrosse, rugby, and community events. Supporting athletic facilities include baseball, softball, and T-ball fields, as well as on-site batting cages for training and practice. The complex also incorporates a network of walking trails, outdoor fitness equipment, a children’s playground, and community gathering spaces with picnic areas, seating, and shade structures. Prefabricated buildings, including a restroom, concessions stand, and scorekeeper’s booths, are integrated throughout the site to enhance functionality and user experience.
Beyond its physical amenities, the Burns Valley Sports Complex is intended to promote long-term health, wellness, and social connection within the Clearlake community. The project has been thoughtfully planned to serve users of all ages, from youth sports programs to senior recreation, while also providing flexible space for tournaments, events, and informal community use. The landscape design emphasizes native and drought-tolerant planting to reduce water use and long-term maintenance while reinforcing the site’s connection to the surrounding environment. By establishing a high-quality recreational destination, the complex will reduce the need for residents to travel to neighboring cities for organized sports and will position Clearlake as a regional destination for athletic programming. The design prioritizes accessibility, durability, and sustainability, ensuring the facility will serve as a valuable public asset for years to come.
Construction will begin in 2026.
