City of Pompano Press Release
The Orange Bowl Committee and the City of Pompano Beach cut the ribbon for the new field at Mitchell Moore Park, 901 NW 10 St. in December.
Orange Bowl, its partners, and the City completed approximately $4 million in renovations which include a synthetic turf field and maintenance fund, an electronic scoreboard, new press box, shaded seating, enhanced walking trail, and building refurbishments. The two existing baseball fields will also receive an upgrade. “The much-needed renovation of Mitchell Moore Park furthers Orange Bowl’s commitment to youth sports in the South Florida community,” a city press release said.
The park renovations is part of the City’s General Obligation (GO) Bond initiative to fund projects in various locations in the City to beautify public areas, add and improve green spaces and enhance recreational parks.
“We are very excited to celebrate the unveiling of Orange Bowl’s sixth legacy park project – Orange Bowl Field at Mitchell Moore Park,” said Orange Bowl Committee President and Chair Frank Gonzalez in a press release. “We’re so thankful for our partnership with the City of Pompano Beach to make this dream a reality, and we’re thrilled for the residents of Pompano Beach that will be able to enjoy this newly renovated park for years to come.”
This is the Orange Bowl’s sixth Legacy Park to the South Florida community and the second in Broward County, the first being Orange Bowl Field at Carter Park. Combined, and with the generous support of partners, Orange Bowl Legacy Park projects have committed more than $25 million worth of improvements toward the beautification of the South Florida community and recreational park activities for residents and their families. Legacy Programs is one of the four pillars of Orange Bowl Cares, its overarching community outreach program which also includes Community Engagement, Education and Youth Sports. For more than 85 years, the Orange Bowl has been one of South Florida’s leading civic organizations, promoting championship sporting events, related premier entertainment and other year-round activities to inspire youth, engage our community and enhance the South Florida economy.
