Westconnectt Park is home to the Westside Wildcats and serves hundreds of local youth through its football and cheer teams.
Multiple national and local partners such as the Jacksonville Jaguars, HabiJax, the Local Initiative Support Corporation of Jacksonville , City of Jacksonville representatives, and over 100 youth attendees and their families celebrated the grand re-opening of the newly refurbished grass field.
The $200,000 renovations to the park included the grass field, updated lighting, scoreboard improvements, a new playground and renovations to the concessions building.“The Westside Wildcats league, like others who serve our community, is about so much more than sports – it’s about shaping young people’s character and future interests, instilling discipline, and helping position them for lifelong success, no matter their chosen path,” said Dr.
“HabiJax has been thrilled to be a part of this effort to refurbish the playing surface at Wesconnett Park,” HabiJax Chief Community Partnerships Officer Chris Folds said. “As an affiliate that is committed to neighborhood revitalization, it has been a pleasure to work with some of our most long-running partners and supporters to get this done. We believe everyone deserves a decent place to live AND play, and we’re happy to see that dream realized for the Westside Wildcats.
