White Rock Park Grand Opening Brings Out Community

The Cordova Recreation and Park District celebrated the grand reopening of White Rock Community Park on Saturday, much to the delight of the surrounding neighborhood.  Thousands of residents flocked to the park to celebrate the complete renovation of the park, in the works for seven years.  The residents enjoyed live music, games, crafts, bouncers, a giant slide, free piggy bank and beach balls compliments of Cordova Recreation and Park District, free barbecue, tours of the new building, and took time to meet District staff and local dignitaries.  Most popular of all, this day marked the inaugural run of the park’s free splash park, a 4,000 square foot behemoth that includes a huge dumping bucket, slides, spray jets, and more.  The splash park is the largest free public splash park in Sacramento County, perhaps even in Northern California.
