Peninsula Sports Park MISSION To promote a safe and controlled environment to enhance athletic opportunities for the children and families of the Bolivar Peninsula. BOARD MEMBERS Leslie Lowe, Delino Comeaux, Carmen Comeaux, Craig Ward, and Jason Warren ABOUT US Peninsula Sports Park (PSP) is a Texas non-profit corporation currently applying for 501(3)(c) status. Founded in 2015, our organization has been working diligently over the past 18 months to fund the rebuilding of our community baseball field in Port Bolivar. At the core of our mission, it is our vision to build and maintain a clean and safe environment for the community to utilize as a practice field, tournament location, and local gathering venue for organized events. To date, we have achieved nearly half of our $60,000 initial goal. Funds raised thus far have allowed us to remove the existing light poles and enlarge the field to Pony League specifications, survey the grounds, and haul in extra dirt for reconstruction. Soon, we will install a new fence and bleacher seating for approximately 50 people. PSP’s future plans include a concession stand, scoreboard, and additional seating, as more funds are made available. Thanks to the ongoing support of the community and our generous sponsors, the Bolivar Peninsula Red Sox will be swinging for their own fences during next year’s baseball season! BECOME A SPONSOR PSP offers multiple levels of sponsorship opportunities. Because of your charitable contributions, our organization can reinstate a safe and controlled environment for our area’s children and their families to enjoy for many years to come. Contact Leslie Lowe at 409-4290980 for more information about our sponsorship packages. UPCOMING EVENTS All-Star Dinner & Auction: Join us on Saturday, November 12 for a fun evening under the stars at beautiful Laguna Harbor. Kicking off at 5pm, the night’s event includes live music from Cool Breeze, barbecue dinner, dancing, and a silent auction. Make plans to attend and help us reach our fundraising goal.
