A Soccer Field at OIHS:
A Space for the power of play
We would like to create "Temescal Fields" - a multi-sport recreational space at Oakland International High School:
-
The dual-use facility would include building a soccer field to serve the needs of the students of Oakland International High School while preserving the current baseball field.
-
Convert the current baseball only facility to a dual purpose baseball-softball facility. This would allow Oakland Tech’s baseball and softball teams to share the fields.
-
Add a retractable outfield fence to accommodate the different needs of high school baseball, softball and little league. The fence would also retract in order to create a
-
full size soccer field.
-
Allow for the community’s use of the soccer, softball, and baseball facilities when it is not in use by OUSD sports teams.
-
Add lights for nighttime/evening use and improved safety along 48th Avenue.
-
-
-
available for use by the community and leagues such as the Jack London Youth Soccer League, and the Alameda-Contra Costa Youth Soccer League.be also beThe field will
During the non-baseball season, the field will transform into a
-
-
full size soccer field and will be the home field for OIHS soccer.
-
During the baseball season, the baseball/softball field will serve as Oakland Tech’s home field.
-
Additionally, on weekends, little league groups such as North Oakland/South Oakland Little League, Oakland Cal Ripken-Babe Ruth Baseball League, the Metropolitan Junior Baseball Team and American Legion Baseball will continue to have access to the field for community games
-
The fields at Oakland International High School will maximize resources and serve as many students and community members as possible.
