The prelude for this local gem goes back more than a century when a future site of a reservoir in San Bernardino — at the crest of a hill just south of Highland Avenue — was christened "Perris Hill" as a compliment to Fred T. Perris. Perris was a member of the city's Board of Water Commissioners who deeded to the city a site near the hill for a pumping plant. On Dec. 9, 1910, The San Bernardino Sun reported on this tribute to Perris while also hinting at the potential for this location to evolve into an attractive tourist destination. "The scenic drive which will encircle the hill will be known as Perris Drive and it will have no equal for scenic wonders in all California Southland." By the end of the month, teams had been hard at work leveling the reservoir site on top of the hill. Within a few years, Perris Hill was being touted as "one of the unique show places of Southern California, in addition to a delight pleasure place for our own people." The new park near Perris Hill was becoming a reality by 1927, and The Sun had this to say in its July 30 edition: "San Bernardino has the possibility of a park on and about Perris Hill unequaled in its sightlines, from the top and slopes of which would be afforded an unrivaled view of the valley and mountains, a place of beauty that would make the city famous and sought by visitors from far and near, as Smiley Heights is at Redlands — and water is the first requisite for the realization of such a dream." By the mid- 1930s, "Perris Hill Park" had become a favorite playground for families in San Bernardino. Within its boundaries, a plunge was nearing completion and a newly f- san- bernardinos -gems 9/11/2014 Perris Hill Park one of San Bernardino's gems Page 2 of 3 constructed ball park was not only hosting local baseball games but within a couple years would serve as the spring training camp for the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League. Then on Feb. 4, 1935, the San Bernardino Sun proudly announced the grand jewel of Perris Hill Park. "San Bernardino took a long stride forward in civic achievement yesterday afternoon when the outdoor bowl at Perris Hill Park was dedicated in honor of the man whose expansive work relief program made its construction possible — Franklin D. Roosevelt." "The impressive ceremonies at Roosevelt Bowl drew a throng of more than 3,000 in the amphitheater itself while others outlined the hill surrounding the structure completed at a cost of $26,000. The bowl has a capacity of 4,000." Mayor Ormonde W. Seccombe unveiled a bronze plaque indicating that the Franklin D. Roosevelt Bowl was erected A.D. 1934 and included the names and organizations of those responsible for the structure. Seccombe started the ceremony by thanking the gallant efforts from the administration of our 32nd president for making this project possible. The mayor said in part: "In unveiling the plaque that signifies San Bernardino's dedication of this bowl as a monument to President Roosevelt and his national re- employment program, I wish to emphasize the importance to our community and to the entire county, of the millions of dollars of Government money being paid in the form of Federal work relief wages to our citizens." Those participating with the dedication echoed the unified enthusiasm of the beautiful bowl hosting pageants and plays, entertainment, concerts shows and meetings. Since its grand opening nearly 80 years ago, the Roosevelt Bowl has been a popular venue for plays, concerts, musicals and church services but needs major upgrades today such as lighting, sound system, and seating improvements. The patrons of the Roosevelt Bowl Board of Directors are working to facilitate these upgrades to bring families, local businesses and the community together to continue sharing history, arts, culture, and entertainment at Perris Hill Park, but they need your help! One way you can contribute is to come out and enjoy San Bernardino's Farmers Fair and Market Night while providing patronage to our local vendors. Every dollar spent is money toward the improvements needed to bring the Roosevelt Bowl back to its former glory. The San Bernardino Farmers Fair and Market is every Monday from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at Perris Hill Park — the season is May 5 through Oct. 27.
