Northwest Bakersfield to get two new parks this year
Two northwest Bakersfield neighborhoods will get new parks this year.
Money raised in the North of the River Recreation and Park District was given this week to the City of Bakersfield to build parks at Madison Grove and San Lauren. The timing comes after City Councilman David Couch in March wondered what NOR was doing with $6.8 million it has collected for parks. North Meadows Park in Oildale is already underway and should be ready by late next month. Other parks in line are Silver Oak in 2009, Polo Community Park, a 40-acre site, by early 2009, and then RiverLakes Ranch Community Park and Austin Creek Park. Much of the money for the parks comes from development fees. Posted by Steve E. Swenson 2 comments from 2 users

here we are Nov. 2009 and the polo community park site is sitting there full of weeds and children riding dirt bikes. I'm still paying the same taxes/fees I was paying before, so I'd love to know where our park is (we've been waiting over 7 years now). posted by
