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
Why this project exists, who it serves, and what success looks like.
San Mateo does not have a safe, accessible public space for youth and families during evenings or rainy season.
The field is inactive and unsafe at night
Youth lack consistent, structured environments
Access is limited by both infrastructure and cost
80 children and youth actively participating
70 families directly impacted
150 total community members
Additionally:
Clear allocation, milestones, and live funding progress.
