Crestview Park - San Carlos, California - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

The largest part of this 7 acre park is devoted to a soccer field. It also has a playground and basketball court. The History of Crestview Park from the park website:

The Crestview Park site was acquired from the developer of Brittan Heights. It was not developed until 1982, when the field, basketball court, and walkway were constructed. Additional features were added in stages from 1986 - 1989 to enhance the park, including the installation of a jogging path, a children’s play area, landscaping, development, renovation of the turf area, and the building of restrooms. In 1984, the soccer field was dedicated to the memory of Greg Nannarone, an untimely victim of leukemia at the age of 16. The children’s play area was completed in 1991 with the installation of a swing set and sand area. The permanent soccer goals were removed in 1995 to encourage field rotation for soccer use. Landscaping enhancement occurred over several years, culminating in 1998. Through the years Crestview Park evolved into a well-used facility, particularly for virtual year-round soccer play.

Crestview Park was renovated in 2014, and the grand re-opening was held Saturday, November 22, 2014. The Crestview Park Renovation Project was designed by Callander & Associates, and constructed by Suarez and Munoz. The park underwent a five-month construction period, and the results reveal a wonderfully improved facility. Crestview Park now has new playground equipment that meets the latest standards of safety and accessibility, swings and a seating area for parents, along with a new picnic area. Additionally, kids will enjoy playing with a custom made ant, ladybug, and even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich within the playground area. The basketball courts have been resurfaced. The walking/running track now has an all-weather rubberized surface. The grass field has been renovated with a new drainage system and sub-base to better support natural turf. A turnaround area has been added to allow the large redwood tree near the entry of the park to remain, and be used for drop-offs of kids and/or equipment.
