The grant is designed to fund new parks and recreation opportunities in underserved communities.
One option would be to create a regional sports complex by working with the county to acquire the old K-Mart and merge it with Sam Brannon Park.
The grant allows for a number of options. Besides the sports complex, the city is also considering a dog park, a mini-golf course at the aquatic park, or a new park along Bridge Street to honor veterans.
"A lot of our kids travel out of the area to participate in soccer, baseball, other things. Having something here would definitely be a thing that keeps our people home but we also want to attract the outside folks too, to get the restaurant business, the hotel business," said Mayor Marc Boomgaarden.
"We haven't committed to a single location yet, and we're really doing our research to see what would work best, what would be the most competitive and what would work for the community overall," Wolffe said.
"Well, I am excited. I think it's a wonderful idea," Yuba City resident Sharon Hardman said. "We need more parks."
