Pasadena Takes Step Towards Hahamongna Sports Field

The Pasadena Star-News reports that the city has approved a contract to remove sediment from the Devil's Gate Dam with the goal of using it to build a field.

The City of Pasadena approved a contract this week to begin environmental analysis of a plan to haul sediment out of the Devil's Gate Dam, according to a report in the Pasadena Star-News.

The first phase of the contract will be to analyze the sediment removal, and the second phase will be to evaluate the prospects of using that sediment to expand a sports field in the Sycamore Grove area of the park, according to the Star-News.

Pasadena has long been embroiled in a conflict over whether to build sports fields in the area and in 2010, a sharply-divided Council failed to get the votes to approve three sports fields in the area, leaving just one field in the plan.
