Long Beach officials invite the public to a dedication ceremony for the new Chittick Field scoreboard on Saturday in Central Long Beach.
The new “All Sport” scoreboard is 25-feet wide by 14-feet tall, and can be used to keep scores and time for football, soccer and track and field events. The California Resources Corporation, formerly known as Occidental Petroleum, will be recognized on the scoreboard for its $1 million contribution to the Chittick Field renovation project.
The 19-acre field, located at 1900 Walnut Ave., re-opened to the public in 2014 after a year of construction. The renovation was funded with $9.9 million from the Los Angeles County Park and Open Space District, City of Long Beach Infrastructure funds, Open Space Bonds and the California Resources Corporation donation.
The dedication ceremony will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday at the field. At 10 a.m., the Long Beach Patriots Youth Football and Cheer will host a Scrimmage Jamboree with competition at all age levels.
