City crews have been beautifying and making capital improvements at the park this summer.
The City's Parks and Recreation Department has been working on renovations and upgrades at the Barry Playground (better known as the Oilies), under the Tobin Bridge. You can scan through the photo gallery for some "before" and "after" shots -- though the work isn't 100 percent complete yet. Crews are adding new grading, irrigation, backstops, fencing, drainage and sod. About $850,000 worth of work, all told. There's also a beautification element to the work, which you can see in the photos. The field is part of the city's rolling reinvestment in parks that need upgrades, according to an official from the department.
