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.

Walk N Wheels, Movie Night in the park
Park Stockdale will host its first Walk N Wheels at 6 p.m. May 13 followed immediately by a movie night in the park at 7:30.
The events are for Park Stockdale residents and their guests.
The group will meet at the parking lot at 205 Rio Bravo Drive at 5:30 and begin walking or riding bikes, skateboards, roller skates or blades, scooters, tricycles or pushing baby strollers.
The theme is tutus and boas so dress up yourself and your mode of transportation. Dress fun and crazy although that is not required. Just cruise the neighborhood and have fun.
When the group returns, barbecued hot dogs will be served. A movie in the park, complete with popcorn, will round out the evening.

Christmas in the Park
Many thanks to the community-minded residents filled with holiday spirit who made last night’s first Christmas in the Park a success.
The event, featuring a costumed car parade, outdoor movie and plenty of treats, was sponsored by the Park Stockdale Civic Assiciation and spearheaded by Roxanne Fackler and John Prince.
Other board members who donated time and/or food included: Susan Tuttle, Rachel Kirk, Kiki Contreras, Dennis Shea and Jim Carnal. Volunteer Melissa Martinez was also instrumental in the production.
Alicja Burnett, with boyfriend Scout Claassen as the grinch on the car roof, led a string of 10 decorated cars, Christmas music playing and horns a beeping, through the neighborhood.
Upon their return to the park, more than five dozen residents enjoyed pizza provided by BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse. Residents donated hot chocolate, coffee, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies and popcorn.
With tummies as full as St. Nick’s, residents donned blankets to watch a classic Christmas movie.
Christmas party
Christmas at Harrington Park will be held Friday, Dec. 17. Drive your decorated car to the park. Line up at 5:30 p.m. At 6, we will parade through all four quadrants of the neighborhood.
Then bring blankets and chairs to watch an outdoor Christmas movie. Free pizza from BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse and popcorn will be served in the pavilion. Hope to see you there.
Volunteers cover pool
Board member Matt Coleman, Eli Hamm, Buster Beene, John Prince III, Martha Prince and board member Dennis Shea (pictured) as well as board members Tom Bell and Jim Carnal covered the Park Stockdale swimming pools for the winter on Oct. 9.
