History

The park was originally built in 1934, and named Perris Hill Park after Fredrick Thomas Perris, a Santa Fe Railroad developer who helped shape early San Bernardino.[1] In 1993, the baseball field was renamed Fiscalini Field after the late John Fiscalini, a San Bernardino native, who earned All-Citrus Belt League baseball honors at San Bernardino High School, won All-American Laurel twice while playing at the University of California at Berkeley and played professionally in the minor leagues for the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League. He did not make it to the majors and retired in 1950.

Today

The field is primarily used for baseball and was the home of San Bernardino Spirit prior to San Manuel Stadium (then known as The Ranch) opening in 1996. The CSUSB and San Bernardino Youth baseball baseball teams currently play there.[2][3] Adult league games are played on the field from June to September. CSUSB starts on September In preparation for collegiate season. Games are played on Friday and all day Saturdays and Sundays. There are currently two different levels of Pony League play: Colt and palomino Pony divisions.
