The Bristow Range is unique. Named after one of the City of Commerce’s founders, this range is a public facility that was operated by Commerce’s Parks and Recreation Department. The range is located below ground in the Veterans Memorial Park Building, which is used for various recreational activities.

In the Fall of 2009, Commerce "temporarily" closed the range based on testing that indicated the presence of lead dust nearby. About a month later, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) issued a "Notice to Comply" to Commerce regarding the range’s operations. The AQMD Notice to Comply and related communications instructed Commerce that it could not reopen the range until it got the AQMD’s approval.  Built in 1971 on top of a landfill, this facility is experiencing building subsidence issues, which adds to the complexity of the situation and the uncertainty of the range’s future.
