Vice Mayor Angelique Ashby and Sac Republic announce futsal court ribbon-cutting ceremony

SACRAMENTO, CA (May 16th, 2022) Today, Vice Mayor Angelique Ashby, in partnership with Sacramento Republic FC, will participate in a futsal court ribbon-cutting ceremony at Tanzanite Community Park.

The installation of the new futsal court was a community priority which helped to expedite the build. Funding for this project was issued in July 2021, with design and construction completion taking less than one year.

"Thrilled to add futsal courts to the amenities available in our area. Thank you to the young people who advocated for this project and to the Sac Republic for continuing to be a great partner in this city," stated Vice Mayor Ashby.

“Completion of the Tanzanite futsal court helps to meet a growing demand for this amenity and adds an additional safe space for young people to engage in positive sport activity.” Stated Mario Lara, Director, Youth Parks & Community Enrichment.

Vice Mayor Ashby and Sac Republic are excited about this project and encourage you to invite your friends, family, and neighbors to help celebrate this event.
