Dodgers Foundation breaks ground on Altadena park restoration

The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, in partnership with Los Angeles County officials, has broken ground on a multi-phase restoration of Charles S. Farnsworth Park in Altadena. The project aims to repair damage sustained during the 2025 Eaton Fire, which destroyed buildings, offices, and various amenities at the 15-acre historic landmark.

The restoration includes a $1.4 million investment from the Dodgers Foundation to create two Dodgers Dreamfields and a STEM Trail. Additionally, L.A. County Supervisor Kathryn Barger committed $1.2 million toward a new Reflection Garden. Other contributors include the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy and the L.A. County Parks Department.

Dodgers players Blake Snell and Emmet Sheehan attended the ceremony to support the community. The project will also focus on restoring power and water infrastructure, adding an accessible entrance and walkway, replacing restrooms, and restoring amphitheater seating.
