An overview of the Crestmoor Fields master plan for a parcel of land long owned by the San Mateo Union High School District.
A project to develop athletic fields at the former Crestmoor High School site is being slightly modified, including the removal of a dropoff parking zone and inclusion of an aboveground stormwater treatment area, designer Brian Fletcher said.
The former Crestmoor High School site has long been owned by the San Mateo Union High School District after the high school’s closure in the 1980s, allowing for youth soccer leagues to continue to play there.
The site was previously sold to developer Summerhill Homes, that has plans to build 155 new housing units on the land.
But a commitment of $3.6 million in development impact fee credits from the city, as well as a $3.4 million contribution from the San Bruno Community Foundation, will allow for fields to be expeditiously reconstructed.
Eight striped, overlapping artificial turf soccer fields for youth sports and recreational purposes are planned for opening in spring 2027, Fletcher said. A master plan for the project — designed with community feedback in mind — creates a field space for residents as a whole.
“Understanding that soccer is the main use out there, but making sure we’ve got multigenerational and other amenities for users,” Fletcher said.
As the project approaches 30% design completion, Fletcher informed the City Council about necessary changes to the plan, largely because the geographical features of the landscape prohibit underground stormwater drainage.
An aboveground stormwater treatment area will be included in the new design and combined with a residential treatment area to reduce impact. As a result, one picnic area has been removed, an original practice field will be taken out and replaced on the opposite sides of the fields and short-term parking area will be eliminated.
Some, like Councilmember Marty Medina, expressed concerns that parents would no longer have access to a short-term parking amenity.
“There’s always parents in a hurry to drop off the kids and go to another field,” he said. “That was going to be one of the great things about one of the improvements.”
Designers are continuing to look into parking options as they reach 90% design completion, Fletcher said. Currently, construction is estimated to begin February 2026 and the park should be open to the public by spring 2027.
Another element of the field project to be determined is lighting, Fletcher said. Installing a full field and parking lighting system — not currently funded in the current plan — would cost the city from $1.7 million to $1.8 million in total.
