    “The way I explain Corbin to people is he’s often happy, but he’s never satisfied. That always gives you room to be better." - Rick Burnes, father of Bakersfield's own two-time All-Star Corbin Burnes. Great story from @AdamMcCalvy

    You may have noticed these signs around the City. Remember, panhandling in center medians is not only a traffic hazard, but it is not the most effective way to help individuals experiencing homelessness.

    The City's Rec. & Parks Dept. recently replaced the landscaping on medians on Rosedale Hwy. between Coffee and Calloway with xeriscaping. This pilot program is projected to save one MILLION gallons of water annually.

    Our Rec. & Parks Dept. has partnered with the @Team_BCSD to create an after-school flag football program for students in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Utilizing All Out Flag Football, the program started in Oct. and runs through this month.

    Starting today you'll notice lower water levels of Mill Creek due to annual maintenance. This is temporary and water levels will be restored once maintenance is complete.
