Our Marin City and Sausalito children and local youth sports teams lack adequate and safe playfields. Measure I, on the June 2nd ballot, will provide dedicated local funds to renovate and revitalize Phillips Field, Marin City’s only playfield, which is currently unsafe for use.  

Measure I is the culmination of public feedback and collaboration with community members, educators, youth sports teams, and civic organizations to develop a cost-effective plan for the Sausalito-Marin City School District to improve playfields for local children.

Phase one of the plan has been approved by the State Architect, meaning construction can begin once Measure I is approved by voters. Projects include:

• Upgrading Phillips Field to meet current health and safety standards 

• Renovating approximately 140,000 square feet of existing field space to include fields for mixed use including flag football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball and other activities

• Improving safety and security standards, including lighting, parking, shade structures and fencing 

• Adding accessible bathrooms and hydration stations

• Providing access to individuals with a disability 

• Building a 400-meter track

• Undergrounding electrical and improving storm water retention and flood prevention

Quality playfields and recreation facilities help kids stay active and healthy and improves the quality of life for residents of all ages. The cost of Measure I is affordable, less than $8 per $100,000 of assessed value (not market value) - approximately $8 a month for the average homeowner.

All money raised by Measure I will stay in our community and can only be used for Phillips Field. Measure I requires a transparent system of accountability by an independent Citizens Oversight Committee of local residents and taxpayers to ensure funds are spent properly and effectively. 

Our entire community will benefit from improved safe playfields and recreation facilities. Keeping them safe, clean, well-maintained, and accessible helps make our community vibrant and protects home values.

Please vote YES on Measure I by June 2nd!
