Mayor and Council Members,
I am writing to show my support for improvements and renovations at Nicholson Park
located in the 6th Ward. Home to little league fields, play areas, a garden, and a community
center this park is an amazing resource for the families and community members in the area.
The majority of the residents in the 6th ward are young families and those that rely on a safe
and useful place to take their children and spend quality family time in their neighborhoods.
Baseball is the national pastime and little leagues have long been a staple of San Bernardino
history, the baseball diamonds at Nicholson give future little leaguers and ball players a place
to practice and learn valuable skills, the community center can be a great resource for the
neighborhood with classes and programs for all ages, the community garden provides a sense
of pride and brings neighbors together to plant and harvest. The park has been in dire need of
improvements and upgrades for several years. It is time we invest money into beautifying our
city and I cannot think of anything more deserving of the CIP funds than Nicholson Park.
Regards,
Andrea Price
