As the K Train whistled east above grade on Florence Ave., below at Ed Vincent Park the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) dedicated baseball/softball fields number 5960 as Kershaw Challenge Field was opened for play on May 13.

The former Centinela Park which is best known for its gopher infestation has been transformed into a sprawling 55 acre oasis with a brand new basketball court and now the pristine new diamonds which occupy dirt that was used at Dodgers Stadium.

“It until these years that have gone by it was one of the worst parks, but now we changed it, the basketball court and now the baseball field, it means that just have equality but we have equity for the children of Inglewood,” remarked Mayor James T. Butts, Jr.

The mayor was joined by his colleagues on the City Council District 1 member Gloria Gray, District 3 Member Eloy Morales, State Senator for District 35 Steve Bradford, LADF
