Are neighborhood parks important to you?

How important is a vibrant park to you when hunting for a home? Would you consider an area without a park?

The Cordova Recreation & Park District broke ground on White Rock Park in Rancho Cordova on August 20, 2010. In attendance were CRPD officials, Councilmember Robert McGarvey, Supervisor Don Nottoli, and various CRPD Board Members as well as architects and construction representatives. This park has been long neglected, so it is a joy to see a revitalization occurring.

In the video above, David Edmunds, the District Administrator and CEO was interviewed by local real estate appraiser Ryan Lundquist of www.LundquistCompany.com.

Residents in the White Rock area have been meeting with CRPD over the past several years and working hard to advocate for this park. We can rejoice in these improvements, but we can also be proud of the way we acheived these results too. We interacted with CRPD in a very cordial and cooperative spirit. We had very strong and emotional feelings about this park, but we sought to suspend judgment and work to get results.

Thank you CRPD, The City of Rancho Cordova, and White Rock / Cordova Towne area residents who made this day possible.
