Recently, the Waco community gathered at Bell’s Hill Park for a ball field makeover reveal, thanks to a partnership between the Bobcat Company, Chip Gaines of Magnolia, and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA)! The City of Waco and Bobcat are renovating the ball field at Bell’s Hill Park, which has hosted baseball and softball practices and games for more than 80 years. Improvement projects such as this make a huge impact on the Waco community and provide the opportunity for youth sports and recreation.
