The community field in San Mateo is the primary gathering space for 80 children and youth, but it is not safe or usable after dark.
There is:
No lighting
No covered space
Limited infrastructure
Because of this:
The field is not usable in the evenings
The area becomes unsafe at night
Families avoid the space after dark
Youth lose consistent access to structured activity
