RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - From three parks to over forty parks and facilities, the Cordova Recreation and Park District has grown considerably since its beginning in 1958. Today, the District hosts extensive recreation programs for all ages and interests, splash pads to help residents escape the summer heat, events that bring community members together throughout the year and much more.

The District’s annual Party in the Park is approaching and this year – with the District turning 60 – it’s going to be one of a kind. At the party, a photo gallery will be displayed inside the Neil Orchard Senior Activities Center, commemorating the District’s 60 years of providing park services and recreation programs. If you visit the gallery there is a chance you’ll spot people you know attending camps in the ‘90s, learning how to swim in the ‘80s, egg-hunting at Hagan Community Park in the ‘70s, or picnicking in the ‘60s. You may even see photos of yourself!

At the party there will be activities to keep the whole family smiling. The pool will be open for free swimming. Food and dessert vendors will be present to quench your appetite and satisfy your sweet tooth. There will be a trackless train, a giant inflatable slide and rock wall for the kids. Individuals 21 and up can visit the beer and wine garden for a beverage and a chance to purchase a special edition 60^th Anniversary cup. To top it off, party-goers can move and sway to the New Orleans-inspired rhythms created by the City of Trees Brass Band.
