April 2013 Youth Leaders with Building Healthy Communities South Kern recommended to both Board of Bear Mountain Parks and Recreation and Kern County Parks and Recreation Commissioners that they work together to make their parks safer and …more family friendly as part of their Beautiful Parks, Healthy Communities Campaign. Their work will impact Lamont Park, Rexland Park, DiGiorgio Park and Weedpatch Park. To learn more and get involved please contact BHC Youth Coordinator, Amerika Nino at 661-205-3866 and/or bhcskyouth@yahoo.com.
July 2013 The KCPR Commissioners unanimously voted to move a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors to
create ordinances based on the youths recommendations. Almost there!!
