BCBank Park
outdoor sports complex
At Philip Barbour High School
The Promise Foundation of Barbour County
The Promise Foundation of Barbour County is a non-profit organization that was developed after a historic $1.75million dollar donation was recieved from BCBank to build an outdoor athletic complex at Philip Barbour High School’s George Byrer Field. The Promise Foundation oversees the construction of BCBank Park in Barbour County and manages the facilities use. An additional $200,000 in donations for this project came from the Friends of George Byrer field, the Belington Clinic, and members of the local community.
BCBank Park will not only be utilized by the schools of Barbour County, but will also be open to the public and the residents of Barbour County and the surrounding areas. We also encourage youth leagues to hold their athletic activities at BCBank Park.
