Community Use of Facilities

 

The Redmond Rotary Fields at the David M. Jaqua Sports Complex

The Jaqua Fields have undergone a massive transformation, most notably with the addition of the city’s first turf field – both a baseball field and a full-size soccer field, which can be used for a variety of sports, including football, lacrosse and softball. 

The Redmond School District funded the project primarily with proceeds from the $2 million sale of a donated 40-acre property at 9th Street and Antler Avenue. The property was donated to the school district in 2009 by Central Oregon Irrigation District and was purchased by Wild Mike’s Ultimate Pizza. No 2020 bond funds were used for this project. 

You will notice that the cost to reserve the Jaqua Turf Fields is more than other facilities in our District. That is due to both covering the District’s upkeep costs, and preparing for the long-term replacement on the facility. When the turf is due to be replaced, the District will not ask taxpayers for funds to pay that cost, but use funds from facility rentals.

Please note: The Jaqua Turf Complex is a community field. RSD high schools are subject to the same facility use requirements as the public. The exception to this is in the event of an OSAA-sanctioned weather cancellation, in which case the District will accommodate high school athletics events with no fee.
