Yamaguchi South Planning Project

Thank you for your involvement in the Yamaguchi South Planning Project! The Town Council has adopted the final concept plan and it is located in the documents widget for your viewing. The Town and its consultants tried to accommodate most commodities requested by the public in the survey, open houses and community discussions. At the moment, there is no certain start date for the phased construction. Please check in often on MyPagosa to stay informed on this and many other Town projects!

Yamaguchi South (a portion of Town's former sewer treatment lagoon property) is approximately 21.5-acre site just south of Yamaguchi Park along the western bank of the San Juan River. The site is also east of and next to the high school sports fields and the school district's maintenance building.

Since January 2021, the Town along with their consultants, THK Associates, have conducted a two-day public open house, provided an online public survey on MyPagosa.org, presented findings and plan concepts to the Town's Parks and Recreation Board, Planning Commission and Town Council (all during public meetings) and have drafted a final concept plan for final consideration.

The Town Council will consider all final comments on August 3rd during their consideration of adopting the final concept plan.

A few items to note regarding the Final Concept Plan:

1. Based on public input gathered, a number of concept plans were considered by Town Boards which resulted in the Final Concept Plan
2. 8 Pickle Ball Courts will be accommodated in the existing Yamaguchi Park area.
3. It appears the Tennis Court advocates are working with Wyndham Resorts for improvements and use of their existing courts.
4. An additional Basketball court(s) will be considered in a different location within Town.
5. The Town’s baseball/softball fields currently located on the High School property will need to be eventually relocated, thus they have been incorporated into the Final Concept Plan.
6. The Final Concept Plan incorporated passive open space and active recreation facilities.

Please review the Final Concept Plan and provide your comments in the Community Discussion below and/or attend the Public Open House on Monday, July 19^th, 4p-7p at Town Hall, located at 551 Hot Springs Blvd.
