Annual Kids Day Event a Success in Rancho Cordova

By
Real Estate Agent

rancho cordova kid's day


Today, the weather in the Greater Sacramento Area couldn't have been finer.   I decided to drive over to Hagan Community Park in Rancho Cordova, to check out the Annual Kids Day event!  The festival hosted approximately 2,000 kids and adults to participate in free kid activities. 

The activities included FREE Sacramento Valley Live Steamers train rides, face painting, music, a raffle for 100 bicycles, petting zoo, hayrides, swimming - and a variety of other games, activities and GREAT food!

Dozens of service organizations were on hand to provide demonstrations and information to assist children and family in their endeavor to live happy and healthy. 

It was a FUN packed event and day!

Rancho Cordova's Hagan Community Park consists of 75 acres, with a Community Center, 8 tennis courts, 3 swimming pools, 3 baseball fields, 3 soccer fields, basketball court, petting zoo, play grounds, tot lots, and fitness court.

In addition there is a scale model steam railroad (Sacramento Valley Live Steamers).  The park abuts the American River Bike Trail and foot access to the beautiful American River.

Richard - You're absolutely right about hot dogs!  I try not to eat very many of them!  But today, they were going for 50 cents each, so how successful do you think in declining them today:-)

Kate - It felt good to see folks out having a good time.  We've been cooped up most of the winter.

Joshua - It really was!

Melissa - I'm glad you liked it!

Sharon!  That bird with the sunglasses was pretty funny!

Toula - The old fire truck was an original for Mills, which was a small community within Rancho Cordova boundaries, long before Rancho Cordova came into existence in the late 1950s.  I hope that made sense:-)

Hi Myrl, ' Great day to be outside, I love the photos and especially the man on the little train, that one brought a smile to my face. It reminds me that we are all still little kids when it comes to having fun.

Hi Myrl, Wow, it looks like you had perfect weather for the Kids Day Event.  It looks like such a lovely setting, right there on the water.  These types of events are always my favorite way to spend a weekend - anything outdoors.

You are an expert with creating beautiful photo slides!  It looks like plenty of fun in the sun at the Hagan Community Park at Rancho Cordova.  I enjoyed the colorful photos and the first one took me by surprise and made me smile.  :)
