Pasadena: Enhancements Announced At City Parks
Below is a list of impacted parks and fields. Work in Area H is anticipated in phase two, but an exact schedule is not yet available.
August 11, 2020
The City of Pasadena’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department has temporarily closed athletic fields at six parks for turf enhancements. The closures will allow crews to conduct much needed maintenance including aerating, fertilizing, over-seeding, irrigation testing and repairs, and removal of in-field lip build up (on baseball/softball diamonds). Temporary fencing has or will be installed to protect renovated areas as the seed needs an opportunity to establish sufficient roots and grow in preparation for future sports seasons. Enhancements are currently underway at Brookside, Brenner, Jefferson, McDonald, Victory and Villa Parks.
