Overview

The location of the old pool at Estancia High School was infilled with concrete after the construction of the new aquatics center. This left the space with very little usage for the site. School administrators and district staff presented a plan to install shade structure components, landscaping and new pavers and hardscape to liven up the space and create an outdoor courtyard where students can gather for lunch or other group events. 

Status as of September 2024

Shade structure components are being set into place in anticipation for shade fabric installation. Over the next couple of weeks, a few concrete pours will finish off the hardscape of the new courtyard and in addition, new pavers will be installed. 

This project is anticipated to be completed by October 2024.

 

Overview

In 2015, the Newport-Mesa Unified School District approved and later completed the Costa Mesa High School Sports Complex, which included a stadium with bleacher seating for 997 spectators, replacing the existing track and field with a synthetic field and rubber track, and providing a press box, concession/restroom buildings, storage building, fencing, and lighting. 

The District is now considering a proposal to expand the seating capacity of both home and visitor sides to a total of 2,000 seats. Both permanent and temporary bleachers are included in the plan. The project is also looking at the feasibility to install new safety netting for the adjacent baseball field, and replacing the tennis courts. 

The first phase of the project is anticipated to begin in the Summer of 2025.

Status as of April 2025:

The Board approved initial funding to continue design of the Mustang Field athletic complex and the various components of the approved project. During a subsequent board meeting, the first phase of the project was approved for construction. This first phase included replacement of tennis courts and installation of new safety netting between baseball/softball fields and Mustang Field.

Funding for construction of the second phase of the project, which includes the bleacher expansion and new team rooms, has not been approved by the board of education.
