The City of Brea hosts the Grand Opening of the Brea Sports Complex, designed by LPA Inc., Saturday, February 14, 2009. The park is located at 3333 Birch Street, Brea, Calif.
The 26-acre complex includes a softball field, two baseball fields, a football/soccer field, practice field, two basketball courts, two overlay soccer fields, a loop running walking path, tot lot, central quad, concession stand and restroom facilities. There are five batting cages with backstops and bullpens, grandstands and a passive park, which doubles as a water mitigation and storm water management area.
"It's going to be all about the kids. We're not going to go overboard with pomp and circumstance," says Brea Community Services Director Scott Malkemus. "We want to get the kids out on the fields playing, because that is what it's really all about."
