A vacant dirt parking lot at Greeley Avenue in Logan Heights recently received a colorful makeover — transformed into a baseball diamond that looked like it popped straight out of a comic book.
The field was designed by Riverside-based artist Geoff Gouveia. The pop art-inspired project was more than just an art piece — it was commissioned as part of MLB’s “Play Ball” weekend that encourages little leaguers to “play here play anywhere.” The initiative hopes to encourage young baseball fans to keep on swinging, regardless of where they are.
Over 100 kids participated in a baseball clinic on Sunday, June 11. They were joined by former Padres players, MLB ambassadors, and community members who helped this event become a home run.
