On May 22, 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved an allocation of $24,000 to Ramona Pony Baseball towards the purchase and installation of sod for the Pop-Warner football field at Well Field Park in Ramona. In just two months, the project was completed, thanks to the dedication and organization of the members of Ramona Pony Baseball.

Today's proposal continues the work at Well Field Park. Four baseball infields will be graded; new home plates and bases will replace worn-out ones; and unsafe wooden bleachers will be replaced with new aluminum bleachers. By reinvesting into our communities, residents will be ableto enjoy increased safety and greatly improved recreational facilities.
