PUEBLO — A new soccer field could be coming to Pueblo. The plan is to replace the parking lot near East Grant Avenue and Madison Street near downtown with a new practice soccer field that has artificial turf.
The following agencies are collaborating on the plan:
- City Government
- Urban Renewal
- Pueblo School District 60
- Pueblo Central High School Foundation
The cost of the project is close to $900,000 with each group contributing money. The field will be open for both school and public use.
"I think the community is going to get really excited about it, and I think there is going to be a line waiting to practice on the place because it is not an opportunity they get every day when we have a lot of natural turf areas," said Steven Meier with Pueblo Parks and Recreation.
Pueblo City Council still needs to give the okay to fund this project. If approved, work is expected to start in Spring 2025.
