October 16, 2024 (Santee) -- At least four Santee sports groups including the local Pop Warner club, the Ravens, and youth soccer teams will soon get to experience the newly installed synthetic turf fields at Town Center Community Park.
The two new fields that feature lines for both football and soccer and can accommodate lacrosse were recently installed after an unusually long delay from having to wait to be adequately dry after a wet spring.
Stephanie Price, a member of the Santee Park and Recreation Committee (SPARC), was happy to see the brand new turf at the Oct. 10 dedication ceremony that took some six months to install due to the drying out time.

June 2, 2024 (Santee) -- Residents of Santee, along with the rest of East County, will soon see two new refurbished turf fields at the city’s Town Center Community Park.
The two fields, just south of the Sportsplex USA ballfields, had the old turf removed in April, but are awaiting water tables to drain further so the new fields can be correctly installed, said Santee Community Services director Nicholas Chavez.

April 21, 2013 (Santee) – What began eight years ago as Santee’s homegrown observance of Arbor Day and Earth Day has blossomed into an all-day extravaganza named SanTree Fest.
”We named it SanTree Fest because it began as a simple gathering of local families, scout troops and young people to green up our parks with trees,” said Recreation Coordinator Bree Stanley. “While the focus is still on the environment and sustainability, we’ve made it more fun for the entire family.”
This year’s daylong festival will feature more booths, more free activities for children, and more entertainment.
