Cactus County Park Improvements

County Parks is bringing a series of exciting upgrades to Cactus County Park to enhance recreational opportunities for the community. Planned improvements include a full playground replacement featuring a new accessible play structure for ages 5–12, an inclusive orbit spinner, softball-themed play elements, rubberized safety surfacing, ADA parking upgrades, and a new shade structure.

Additional enhancements include renovations to the girls’ softball field dugouts, replacement of field fencing, new bleacher shade, and more.

Thanks to grant funding awarded by the San Diego River Conservancy, County Parks is also moving forward with a restroom replacement and new sports field lighting for the girls’ softball fields.

Construction is anticipated to begin in Fall 2025, during which Fields 1–4, the batting cages, and select parking spaces will have impacted availability due to active construction through Winter 2026. Access to the BMX track and Pony field will remain available. Stay tuned as we continue to build a safer, more inclusive, and welcoming space for all park users.
