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.

Newsletter goes online
The Park Stockdale Civic Association has joined the 21st century, or at least the 20th century, by unveiling its own home page: parkstockdale.org.
This home page replaces the newsletter, which is being discontinued with the final August 2020 issue.
The move from print to digital will allow us to get information out quicker and without space limitations and will save an estimated $3,500 annually in printing and postage, according to PSCA President Jim Carnal.
Swim season extended
The Park Stockdale pool traditionally closes on Labor Day but this year the swim season has been extended. Swimming will be offered from 4-8 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Sept. 27.
New sanitation engineer
Our new sanitation engineer Giovanny said Park Stockdale is a really nice neighborhood and wants to thank residents for all the friendly waves. Gio replaces Lorenzo Castilleja, who was featured in the July 2020 newsletter, who has been moved to lighter duty due to health issues.
Gio was observed climbing out of the truck to move a can closer to the big forklift arm. When vehicles are parked on curves, it’s a tough reach. Please place cans apart but close to the street. And keep waving at those who serve our neighborhood.
