Bridgerland Park
Park Type: Community
Park Location: 900 North 100 West
Park History: Bridgerland Park serves a wide variety of users and is primarily an active recreational park. The east half of the park has been designed as a storm water detention basin that also serves as a soccer field. The west half of the park used to hosts a pony league/high school baseball field with a press box/restroom facility. Located just west of Main Street, park patrons find the location a perfect place to have lunch, since it is close to many fast food establishments. A playground serves the children from the surrounding neighborhood.
While Richard Chambers was mayor in 1971, the property was purchased on December 6 from Don J. and Patricia Ann Wilson for $37,600. Half of the purchase price was funded by a grant from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation (BOR). In August of 1973 an additional $5,000 BOR grant funded lighting and fencing at the park, which was known as Valley View Park. In April of 1974, Mayor Desmond Anderson announced that a local radio station was sponsoring a contest to name the park. A prize of $25 was offered. On May 2, 1974 the Logan City Commission officially named the park Bridgerland Park.
Prior to 2011, the baseball field was only large enough for pony league baseball games and was mostly used for neighborhood pick-up softball games. In the fall of 2011 the baseball field was
reconstructed to be used for pony leagues and high school teams. In the spring of 2012 new field lighting was installed with the hopes of using this ball field for community pony leagues and high school games.
