After nearly 20 years of planning, Carlsbad leaders are set to break ground Monday on Veterans Memorial Park, which will become the city’s largest community park when completed.

The nearly 94-acre park near Faraday Avenue and Cannon Road will feature separate north and south sections connected by trails and open space.

Plans include a veterans memorial plaza, shaded gathering areas, an inclusive playground, picnic spaces, a youth-focused bike park, outdoor fitness areas and obstacle courses.

More than half of the property will remain preserved as open space.

The $57 million project is being funded primarily through developer fees and grants rather than the city’s general fund.

City officials expect the park to open by late 2027.

BREAKING OVERNIGHT

Multiple people were hospitalized after a law enforcement pursuit ended in a crash in Vista late Sunday night.

According to San Diego County sheriff’s officials, the incident unfolded just before 11 p.m. when a deputy tried to pull over a car near North Avenue and North Melrose Drive for unspecified traffic violations.

However, the driver refused to stop and sped away, prompting a pursuit.

During the chase, the car entered westbound state Route 78 but ended up colliding with another vehicle near SR-78 and College Boulevard.

Sheriff’s officials said one person was arrested and several people were taken to the hospital with various injuries.

ABC 10News learned one person had to be airlifted.

Sheriff’s officials did not release any further information on the incident.
