KEN MERCER SPORTS PARK
Located in the City of Pleasanton, the Ken Mercer Sports Park is one of the leading sports complexes in the
Tri-Valley Area, north of San Jose. The Complex has 23 diamonds and nine grass soccer fields, all of which
include lighting as well as a running track, hockey rink, and skate park. The complex hosts regional
tournaments, local, leagues, camps and programs and community events, such as the Tri-Valley Turkey Burn
5/10K run. The flat hourly rate to rent a field at the complex is $20. This does not include lighting, which is
an additional $15 an hour or other services needed for hosting a tournament (field preparation, staff, etc.).
The complex is owned by the City of Pleasanton. Ken Mercer Sports Park’s success can be attributed to its
flexibility, being able to host several types of sport events, on its fields. This not only makes it one of the top
facilities in the Tri-Valley Area, but throughout Central and Northern California.
