3. POCKET SOCCER FIELDS
Due to the increasing demand for more soccer fields and the limited amount of open space in
Santa Ana, a request was made to look into the possibility of installing mini-soccer fields.
Staff sent out a survey to 27 Orange County cities, requesting information on mini-soccer
fields. Ofthe 27 cities, 16 cities responded to the survey. Four cities (Garden Grove,
Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, and Rancho Santa Margarita) indicated they have mini-
soccer fields and the rest indicated there is no interest for mini-soccer fields.
Other factors need to be considered prior to establishing a mini -soccer field. Is the park large
enough to lose passive open space for this sport activity, do we have sufficient parking, is the
park facility being over used for active sports vs. passive open space, is this additional
activity going to be accepted by the neighborhood? Two possible sites were discussed.
Proposal needs to be discussed with the soccer organization along with establishing a new fee
for mini-soccer fields.

sports organization for field usage. Twelve cities charge by the hour and 13 charge in
