Eddie Collins Memorial Park

Eddie Collins Memorial Park reopened in October 2022 after a $2.2 million renovation, featuring 2 new basketball courts, an upgraded Little League Field with accessible bleachers, an expanded playground, a full-sized soccer field, a new entrance and parking lot, an updated bathhouse, new trees, and picnic tables.

Now, it’s time for Phase 2. The conceptual design is complete, and we’re excited to introduce a new bathhouse with offices, a concession stand, and a community room. Plus, the long-awaited new swimming pool, accessible to all, is on the horizon.
