Visalia, CALocal News

A transformative $10. 5 million renovation is underway for the Lindsay Olive Bowl, a beloved sports facility in Lindsay, California. Generations of residents have utilized this park for various sports, but it has fallen into disrepair, prompting the community to seek funding for significant upgrades. The project, made possible through grants and American Rescue Plan funds, will be executed in three phases. The initial phase will focus on enhancing the ballpark and community basketball court, while subsequent phases will address the parking lot and Kaku Park.

Local resident Marshall Chairez fondly reminisced about his experiences at the park, highlighting its importance to the community and the many memories created there. The iconic olive-shaped scoreboard, although no longer functional, remains a cherished symbol of the park's history. As the demolition phase begins, there is a bittersweet acknowledgment of the changes, with Chairez expressing gratitude for the renovation efforts. The first phase of renovations is anticipated to be completed by Fall 2025, with plans for a community celebration to mark the occasion.
