Ivan K. Hill Park in Winfield, Alabama, is the winner of the $100,000 Bobcat Park and Rec Makeover Contest hosted by Bobcat Company. The prize package will fund improvements at the park, with a focus on revitalizing a youth recreation space.
Ivan K. Hill Park is a multi-use area featuring ballfields, playgrounds, and a senior center. The park was nominated due to updates needed to improve user safety and accessibility. The $100,000 prize will go toward replacing the original 1960s fencing and ballfield backstop, as well as enhancing access to the fields and restrooms.
“This gift from Bobcat will allow our community to accomplish more by supplementing our funds to renovate a facility that will increase our ability to accommodate persons with disabilities in a safe environment. So many hearts will be touched immediately by offering hope and a promise of better playing facilities, and just knowing that they are truly included,” says Gina Bryant, Winfield Park and Recreation director.
Park enhancements at Ivan K. Hill Park are expected to be completed by April 2025. To stay up to date on the park’s progress, visit www.winfieldparkandrec.org.
