Approximately two months into an estimated one-year project, the Springtown Community Park and an 18-hole disc golf course in northeast Livermore is “progressing as expected” toward an opening day during early fall 2026, Livermore city officials wrote in a recent update on their website.
Located on a former 9-hole golf course next to the Springtown Branch Library, the 6.8-acre park is set to include a playground, sports fitness area, plaza, picnic area, community garden, shade structures, a public restroom as well as pedestrian and bicycle paths.
Parking areas and traffic calming will be introduced on nearby Bluebell Drive, officials wrote on the city’s website.
The overall project is estimated to cost $9,617,455, city spokesperson Sonia Lee confirmed with Livermore Vine.
Since the project kick-off Aug. 15, completed items include the laying of concrete for installation of a shade structure and the future playground area as well as asphalt for pedestrian and bicycle paths. The construction team has also installed electrical conduit from PG&E to at least one shade structure, according to the city website.
Currently, groundwork is underway for the future lawn and asphalt parking lot. Earthwork is also being completed throughout the project site and irrigation lines are being installed.
Upcoming elements of the project include extending water service into the park, pouring footings for play and shade structures as well as installing the shade structures and a prefabricated restroom.
The project is the result of a partnership between the city of Livermore and the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District.
Funding for the project is available through park fees ($9,397,455) and Measure BB ($220,000).
Updates on the project’s process and timeline are available on the city’s website.
