Park Stockdale is a neighborhood of 578 homes located in beautiful southwest Bakersfield With entrances at Rio Bravo DrIVE and Lennox AveNUE. 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.

Beautification project completed
The Park Stockdale Civic Association board of directors approved a beautification project to add plants to the existing junipers along Rio Bravo Drive and along the front of the building.
The plants used along the street are predominantly drought-tolerant perennials that stay green year-round: butterfly bushes, privet, lavender, viburnum, dwarf bottlebrush and jasmine.
Plants along the building are hens and chicks plants and hollyhock seeds.
All planting was done by volunteer labor.
Walk N Wheels/Movie in the Park
More than 60 Park Stockdale residents and their guests enjoyed the first Walk N Wheels at 6 p.m. Friday, May 13, followed immediately by a movie night in the park at 7:30.
About 30 residents and guests rode bicycles, tricycles, skateboards or scooters or pushed baby strollers around the neighborhood.
The theme was tutus and boas and many dressed up themselves and their mode of transportation to cruise the neighborhood and have fun.
The group returned and mushroomed to more than 60 for barbecued hot dogs and a movie in the park, complete with fresh popcorn.
Residents who donated supplies and time were:
board members Jim Carnal, Kiki Contreras, Roxanne Fackler, John Prince, Dennis Shea and Susan Tuttle and community members Ana Flores,
Dan Tuttle, Arlene Jaramillo, Becky Powers and Kalani Tamondong.
