COLTON, CA— On Thursday, April 14, a ribbon cutting ceremony and mural recognition was held at Elizabeth Davis Park located at 1055 West Laurel Drive in Colton for two newly renovated basketball courts. Project Backboard partnered with City of Colton, Operation New Hope, Five Star Basketball and Blue Shield of California to make the unveiling possible.
This mural is the first step in the much larger project to update and revamp the entire park for the surrounding community. This event featured a ribbon cutting ceremony followed by an open basketball game and a family zone featuring inflatables and games for children. The mural, court renovation, new backboards, and rims were jointly sponsored by Blue Shield of California and Five Star Basketball. This sponsorship is part of Blue Shield of California’s efforts to support community revitalization and resiliency efforts.
