Roseville City Council approves naming rights for Power Playground at Placer Valley Soccer Complex

The Roseville City Council meeting on August 20, 2025, highlighted significant developments regarding the Placer Valley Soccer Complex and the upcoming universally accessible playground, which is set to become a vital community resource. Parks, Recreation, and Libraries Director Jill Geller, along with her team, presented an update on the complex's progress and a proposed naming rights sponsorship with Roseville Electric Utility for the playground.

The complex, which includes ten lighted synthetic turf fields, a pedestrian spine with shade canopies, and ample parking, is nearing completion, with an anticipated opening later this year. The universally accessible playground, designed for children of all abilities, will be the largest of its kind in the city, featuring sensory amenities and adaptive facilities. This playground will be open to the public even when the soccer fields are not in use, ensuring that it serves as a community hub.

The proposed sponsorship agreement with Roseville Electric Utility, valued at $75,000 over three years, aims to support the playground's maintenance and operations. In return, the utility will receive branding opportunities and visibility within the community. Council members expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, with suggestions for the playground's name, including "The Power of Play," reflecting its inclusive mission.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to enhancing recreational facilities and promoting inclusivity, with the complex projected to generate significant economic impact and revenue for the community. As the project moves forward, residents can look forward to a grand opening event that will celebrate this new addition to Roseville's recreational landscape.
