About once a year, I stop in Visalia, CA to check out Recreation Park. There's nothing else like it in pro-baseball, because I don't think it's possible for a fan to sit any closer to the field of play. Anyway, there had been a flurry of activity in recent years regarding significant improvements to the aging facility, and I like to keep track of the progress being made there.
But when I drove up North Giddings Street in June of 2009 to see what was new at the old ballpark, a huge brick structure sprung from the horizon in front of me, immediately causing me to think I'd turned down the wrong street.
Nope, it was the right place.
But, boy, it was not the same ol' ballyard!
Following $11.6 million in extreme makeovers, the place has been transformed. Keep reading to see exactly what has changed, and what impact those changes have on attending a game at Recreation Ballpark.
*Seals/Biehle would like to extend a special thank you to Sean Poynter, Raina McNamara and Steve Biehle for a job well done on the Recreation Park project.
