Buchser Townsend Field Improvements
The Buchser Townsend Field Improvements Project is now in full design and is anticipated to start construction in December 2026. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis of season lighting for the fields and tennis courts has started.
Past Updates
With Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, the NFL Foundation and the 49ers Foundation are investing in local sports fields to expand community access. Buchser's Townsend Field was chosen as a project site. The Santa Clara Unified School District will also contribute funding to ensure a comprehensive project for the Buchser community.
