Leo Carrillo Ranch Barn Restoration
Work continues on schedule for the barn restoration project by Mark Sauer Construction Inc., in spite of heavy rains over the winter months. Work completed for the project over the past few months includes rough electrical work, insulation, HVAC, plumbing and interior wall siding and new exterior steps at the west entrance. The work is expected to be completed by end of April.
The Leo Carrillo Ranch Master Plan calls for retrofitting the original barn into a theater to showcase Leo Carrillo’s life, other period and interpretive films, as well as a venue for lectures. In addition, the visitor’s center will be relocated within the barn. The barn project has been split into two phases, “stabilization” and “restoration”. In June of 2009, the Carrillo Ranch Barn “stabilization” project was completed using a combination of City funds and a Federal grant. The “stabilization” for the barn included new foundations, roofing, bracing, concrete flooring, and other improvements to strengthen and prepare the barn for future “restoration” and adaptation to the theater and visitor’s center.
The restoration will modernize the barn with heating, air conditioning and restrooms, with seating for 48 guests. The project is projected to be completed by spring 2011.

Robertson Ranch
This 13-acre future park is located roughly on the northeast corner of El Camino Real and Cannon Road. There is no approved plan for the site but it is anticipated that the park will be designed primarily for soccer fields. The fields are needed to meet the city’s facility guidelines for sports fields (which is one soccer field per 4,000 population). The park is scheduled to be built in 2020 or later.
Veterans Park
This future community park is located north of Faraday Avenue just east of Cannon Road across the street from portions of The Crossings at Carlsbad golf course. The site is approximately 100 acres, of which only about 30 is developable (however trails may be located throughout most of the 100 acres). There is currently no updated master plan for the park so the uses are unknown at this time. It is currently scheduled for construction in 2020 or later.
