Over at the Santa Maria Town Center they’re putting the finishing touches on the 10,000-square-foot Kickers Arena. This is an indoor soccer field that is the dream of two local business partners who were determined to create this fun space. Actually, it’s two fields: one for adults and one for the kids. Now soccer players of all ages can play this fast-paced sport all year round in the comfort of this indoor arena. There are plans underway to add on areas for volleyball, tennis and even indoor football. Indoor soccer is a bit different than regular field play. The balls aren’t quite as bouncy and the ball never goes out of bounds. That’s because the walls of the field are the boundaries just like in hockey.
This particular project was not without its “bumps in the road.” When initial funding ran out, there was a 14-month construction hiatus while other investors were lined up. Once that happened, the building was back on track with a scheduled opening later this May.
If you’ve ever taken on a construction project around your home then you know that delays are expected. You might not be building something as expansive as an indoor soccer arena but even tearing up an old driveway can be a challenging DIY project. One aspect of that type of project that you shouldn’t have to worry about is the removal of all the concrete and other waste. At least, you won’t be worrying if you hire Junk King Monterey. These are the junk removal specialists who can make short work of piling up your broken concrete chunks in the back of their huge truck. Imagine trying to do that with your family SUV? Not only would it ruin your trunk but you’d also be making a dozen trips back and forth to the dumpsite. With Junk King Monterey its one pickup and one drive off. Because you’ll have the Junk King crew doing all the backbreaking lifting you can relax and start mixing your cement to pour.
Of course, you don’t have to wait for getting rid of concrete chunks to hire Junk King. They can be called upon to take away any oversize item you want to get rid of whether that’s a single piece of furniture or old kayak. The typical Junk King truck has a bed over 12 feet long and 8 feet wide. That’s enough room to toss out an entire garage worth of junk. Once Junk King collects your junk, they’ll be sorting it before tossing it out. That’s because they make it their mission to divert garbage away from landfills. Concrete or useless stuff. Either way, Junk King Monterey is the only way to go!
What was once a granite construction yard is now being turned into a 4.9-acre park in Pajaro. This is being accomplished by a joint effort from the County of Monterey, Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District, Together in Pajaro (TIP), community residents and various business and community leaders. Among the many features of this park will be a plaza area complete with a bandstand, a synthetic turf field for baseball and soccer, an asphalt running track, a basketball and volleyball court. There will also be two distinct play areas, one for 5- to 12-year-old children and the other for 2- to 5-year-old children. Capping it all off will be a mural created by local schoolchildren. The price tag is just over $6 million.
