The new activity room at Glenner Town Center will look like Lane Field, where the minor league baseball team played in the 1930s through 1950s
Walking through the doors of Glenner Town Square in Chula Vista is like stepping out of a time machine into the 1950s.
Town Square participants will soon have another reminder of mid-century San Diego, in the form of a new Wiffle ball court designed to look like Lane Field. The former downtown baseball stadium was where the Pacific Coast League Padres minor league team played when they first moved from Los Angeles in 1936, until the team transitioned to Mission Valley’s Westgate Park in 1957.Glenner Town Square has about 120 clients with around 70 people attending the day care center each day.
