"Where the Future is Linked to the Past"

 Larry Adams, Mayor of California City

2009 MILESTONES

California City is poised to move forward in its efforts to link the past with the future! A key component is the revitalization of our Central Park which will see major renovations to its interior components. Marina Park Pavilion, the Main Park Pavilion, and Central Waterfall are all in work and scheduled to be completed by the summer. Rehabilitation of the Community Center will take place after an engineering study of the structure is complete. New fencing and gating will enclose the park keeping it secure after hours.
