The City of San Bernardino will receive nearly $1 million to renovate Guadalupe Field, a 2.25-acre park at 780 Roberds Ave. in San Bernardino with a baseball field, picnic tables and barbecue amenities. As one of the city’s oldest parks, it needs repairs to promote healthier living environments since it will allow the community members to engage in outdoor and socially-distanced physical activity. The funding is expected to help renovate the existing building and field, upgrade the lights, repair fences, install new bleachers and scoreboard, and purchase new amenities.
