Park Stockdale is a quiet, mature community with a distinctive character not seen IN the newer housing tracts where it is difficult to tell one house from the next.
Residents enjoy community amenities including four full-size tennis courts, a five-lane, 75-foot-long swimming pool with diving board, Harrington Park – a private community park/playground, and Frank Weldon Community Hall – the neighborhood community center. Regular neighborhood activities include T-Ball, bi-annual neighborhood-wide yard sales, and seasonal neighborhood events.

Santa Claus is coming to the park
Dan and Susan Tuttle post the latest poster.
The Christmas movie has been moved indoors to the hall due to wind and possibly rain.
Christmas at Harrington Park will be held Saturday, Dec. 10. Drive your decorated car to the park. Line up at 4:30 p.m. At 5, we will parade through all four quadrants of the neighborhood.
Mr. and Mrs. Claus will lead the parade. Come out and holiday cheer them on.
After the parade, sign in in the rec room, get a raffle ticket for a drawing for prizes, leave an unwrapped toy for the less fortunate and take a photo with the Clauses.
Free pizza from BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse plus popcorn and hot chocolate will be served.
Hope to see you there.
