As can be seen in this 1940s photo, cars could be driven to the baseball field to be used as observation sites. In 1988 this field was named the Tom Lara field.

The San Bruno City Council approved $18,600 for purchase of 23 acres of land from the Mills' Estate to be used as a city park. The city park on El Camino/Jenevein was to be developed for business buildings. In November 1947 the foundation was poured for a rec building but the first floor was not completed until 1955. The roof was completed in October 1957, and the 2nd floor was open January 1958.

The 20 acres of City Park had been acquired in the early 1940s but the baseball diamond was the main attraction. Cars could drive up to the edge of the park and when it got dark, lights were turned on while the players completed the game.
