Crown Valley Community Center, Crown Valley Park Improvement Project, Tier III

The Crown Valley Park Improvement Project Tier III includes a 30,000-square foot Crown Valley Community Center with staff offices and rooms available to rent by the public for special events. The three-story building will have a contemporary look and features a dedicated art room, fitness and dance room, collaborative tech room, multi-purpose room with a 300-person dining capacity and a catering kitchen, and multi-purpose classrooms. The lower aquatics level features locker rooms with private changing areas and classrooms that open to the pool deck. The upper level will feature an outdoor rooftop patio overlooking the pool.

The City expects to begin construction of the new Community Center on August 13, 2018, with the goal of completing the final phase of the project in early 2020.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

To ensure the safety of our patrons, the Sprayground and Playground are closed until further notice.

A bypass road will open on 10/15/18. This road has been created to divert traffic away from the main construction area. However, Crown Valley Park is still an active construction zone and patrons may still experience intermittent delays throughout the project.

During construction, the Parks and Recreation Registration Office is located near the Crown Valley Park entrance in the North Parking Lot (as you enter the park, make an immediate right).

The Laguna Niguel Family YMCA is open during construction. We appreciate your patience during the construction delays.

The Niguel Botanical Preserve is open to the public during construction, but parking is extremely limited within Crown Valley Park.
