New Playground to be Built at Berston Field House in Flint

NBC 25/Fox 66 and KaBOOM! along with Make An Impact are teaming up to build a state-of-the-art playground in Flint.

Berston Field House, built in 1923, Berston Field House in Flint is one of the most historic recreational facilities in Genesee County. Built in 1923, the grounds have suffered pretty badly in recent years. But several groups are trying to change that.

"This city has already been a very, very resilient city," Bryant Nolden, Executive Director of the Friends of Berston, told WSMH. "With all the challenges and things that have taken place over the last few years, I think this is a great opportunity to start anew and be able to have something we can really be part of."

The build will start in September, with the big reveal being at the Fox 66 Fall Festival on September 17th. The foundation also plans on building five other playgrounds in the Flint area.

Can't wait to see the final product!
