Ponderosa Park to get $16 million community center build
Red steel beams rise at the future 12 287 square foot Ponderosa Park community center overlooking Orangewood Avenue. Scaffolding covers cinder blocks for a gym with a full court and four half courts plus bleachers. The $16 million project aims to open this fall with a 32 000 square foot outdoor area, playground splash zone, exercise stations, picnic area and community garden. The 9 acre site at 2100 S Haster St opened in 1965 and will be fully modernized once complete. The City Council approved the project in 2013 after neighborhood residents pressed for improvements. Funding comes from the Platinum Triangle Fund tied to Angel Stadium and Honda Center development.
