The city will get a new oceanside park after nearly five years of effort. The California Transportation Commission on Thursday voted to approve the sale of 15 acres of land to the city for $5 million. It will become Sunset Ridge Park and will have baseball and soccer fields.

Disagreements over the price had slowed down the acquisition. It could take two years and another $8 million to develop the park. “For us to acquire 15 acres in a city that’s virtually built out, I think is a pretty good achievement,” City Councilman Steve Rosansky said. “We’re 100 years old, and we’re still building new parks.”
