Bergfeld Park Amphitheater Renovations Nearing Completion

TYLER — The city of Tyler reports the Bergfeld Park amphitheater renovation project is scheduled to be complete by June 22. The project started in 2011 with a master plan — which became reality after a $325,000 donation from the Centene Charitable Foundation. During a visit to the park with KETK, City Councilman Don Warren said, “The stage is large enough to seat an entire symphony.” Music, theater productions, and movies are among the events that could take place at the revamped facility. The city says the updated venue could be put into motion by the end of June. Warren said, “In the very front, we’ll have about 492 stadium seats which will be very comfortable — and then back here behind me, they’ll have grass seating.” Warren says he doesn’t expect the amphitheater to be a revenue generator — but simply something for families to enjoy.
