Goal: Uniting the community around healthy lifestyles, access to sports and healthcare, and safe shared greenspaces
At the Salinas Regional Soccer Complex, our goal is to transform previously unusable land into dynamic spaces that promote community engagement and quality family time; a healthy environment available to all where our youth can learn, grow, develop, expand their skills and realize their potential.
By re-purposing dormant land into affordable sports and recreational facilities, we will host community events so healthy lifestyles can flourish. Expanded greenspaces will provide a vital respite from mental health burdens, and safe and engaging environments for our youth and families will positively impact self-esteem, health, safety, and overall long-term success and well-being.
Green spaces and sports facilities, like the Salinas Regional Soccer Complex, serve as beacons of hope, well-being, and prosperity for everyone in our community. When previously unused lands become vibrant communal spaces, they hold the potential to help our community reach its fullest potential.
The Salinas Regional Soccer Complex will act as a catalyst for good health,well-being, and personal growth, rejuvenating neglected areas into cherishespaces for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Be a part of this remarkable community transformation as we come together through the power of sports, recreation, and revitalized spaces.
Goal: Cultivating economic opportunities in a premier sporting facility through recreational play and competitive events
Monterey County families invest a significant portion of their limited income in kids’ athletics. But how much of that money benefits our local community? While some spending goes to online retailers, a substantial portion circulates within the local economy through purchases at nearby sports shops, post-game celebrations at local eateries, and team snack purchases at neighborhood grocery stores.
5 Reasons Community Sports and Recreation Facilities Are Smart Investments
- Contribute to the public bottom line
- Boost business and job prospects
- Save healthcare dollars
- Pave the path for college and career
- Reduce youth crime
The expansion to become the largest facility of its kind between San Francisco and Los Angeles will attract teams that currently travel to Watsonville, Morgan Hill, or farther, bringing them right here to our community. The Salinas Regional Soccer Complex will attract more participants, tournaments, and spectators and pull outside dollars into our local economy, stimulating business growth and employment opportunities. It will help businesses launch, expand, and hire. With Salinas’ disadvantage in income levels—ranking in the 84th percentile compared to the national average— this economic boost will be key to help lower the unemployment rate and increase income levels.
Empowering Futures through Your Brand
A big part of our healthy lifestyle initiative at the Salinas Regional Soccer Complex is our enthusiasm for outdoor activities, and for our youth – competitive sports, not as spectators or video game avatars, but on the field. Soccer is the most popular sports in our community, particularly for boys and girls ages 5 to 18. Just as it has grown to be the second most popular youth sport in the nation, soccer or “futbol” has had equally explosive growth in our area.

This fully lighted field is one of two turf fields planned for the expansion, the other being the Championship Field.

This field will also include the necessary markings to allow it to be used as two smaller fields when required.

These multi-use sand courts can be set up for either 8 beach soccer fields or 12 beach volleyball courts.
Volleyball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the nation, yet many young people in Salinas Valley lack regular access to beach play. These courts would bring that experience to them, offering more opportunities for movement and play.
Beach soccer is crucial for developing players aiming to elevate their game. “Sand training” enhances fine muscle development, aids in injury prevention, and builds endurance.
