Find Your Way to the Sports Complex

September 7, 2010

The City has installed a series of way-finding signs at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex.  With the completion of the latest phase of construction, a need for directional signs was evident.  These signs will provide motorists clear direction to various facilities at the expanded site. 

 The way-finding system was determined by observing traffic patterns and listening to inquiries from visitors, with the purpose to efficiently direct cars to the appropriate buildings and parking areas.  The signs, including a driveway entrance sign, were designed for a more readable, updated look. 

 For more information about the Santa Clarita Sports Complex, please contact Toi Chisom, Recreation Superintendent, at 661-250-3769.
