Back in December 2024, the City of Fillmore closed Two Rivers Park, Rio Vista Park, and Shiells Park due to turf and other renovations. Now some of the parks are slowly reopening; pictured above is Two Rivers Park with their new lights being installed where the soccer fields will be.
Two Rivers Park underwent significant improvements along with other city parks which have been slowly reopening, aimed at
enhancing its sports facilities. The baseball fields reopened on February 1st, however, the soccer and football fields are
closed until the end of July 2025. The Dog Park remains open throughout this park improvements period. During the continuing
closure period, the soccer and football playfields will undergo major turf reconstruction, that includes leveling and
fertilizing, and the entire park will be overseeding to improve the quality of the grass. Additionally, the irrigation system
of these fields will be upgraded from the current underground drip system to a more efficient overhead sprinkler system. As
part of the upgrades, Phase One of our sports field lighting have been installed to illuminate the soccer and football fields,
and future Phase Two will illuminate the baseball fields. Other sports facility improvements include the addition of new nets
for the park’s batting cages and repainting the Park’s restroom and pergola. These upgrades are designed to create a better
experience for both athletes and visitors alike.
