The Bloomington Recreation and Park District (BRPD) gathered in Bloomington on Aug. 13 to celebrate the groundbreaking of the next phase in the Kessler Park Revitalization Project, known as the Dream Field Project. Led by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, this marks a pivotal moment in ongoing efforts to enhance and modernize the park.
The project includes several upgrades, such as replacing old concrete sidewalks with new concrete, vinyl-coated chain-link fencing, safety mesh, additional shade structures, new dugouts, a scoreboard and storage sheds. Additionally, the field will be equipped with brand new artificial turf, irrigation and drainage systems, ensuring that it remains in top condition year-round.
The project has been made possible through funding from the Bloomington Community Benefit/Improvement Reserve, the American Rescue Plan Act, and contributions from Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca Jr.
