RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - Cordova Recreation and Park District residents of all ages celebrated the District’s 60th Anniversary at the Neil Orchard Senior Center and Lincoln Village Community Park on July 20, 2018. District Administrator, Patrick Larkin, said the occasion exemplified what the organization stands for:
“The 60th Anniversary community celebration was a great opportunity for our residents to see firsthand the benefits and value of recreation and parks. The smiles and fun the attendees were having; dancing, swimming, playing and just enjoying the band and park environment is what CRPD is all about. We create community and facilitate its positive growth. We strive to maintain and sustain a high quality of life for our residents through our parks and recreation services.”
The District’s Party in the Park highlighting the 60th Anniversary celebration was well attended. Hundreds of residents joined the District in playful reflection of its past, present, and future goals in the Cordova community; with July being National Parks and Recreation month it is the perfect time to celebrate the role of parks and recreation.
In recognition of this role, Larkin said, “We look forward to continuing to provide excellent service to the Cordova Recreation and Park District community to the best of our abilities and are honored that so many people joined us to help celebrate the past 60 years. Our future is very bright. We thank you for your support, partnerships and friendships.”
In attendance and presenting the Cordova Recreation and Park District Board with Resolutions were Congressman Ami Bera, Mayor Linda Budge, Assemblyman Ken Cooley, Senator Jim Nielson, Congresswoman Doris Matsui, Sacramento County Supervisor Don Nottoli and Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce President Diann Rogers.
