We have a similar program at our parks in Sacramento. I meant to grab my fishing pole and head over to William Land Park for our last event but got tied up with work. Nice idea for a community, and Ada looks like a wonderful area.
Elizabeth: We think it is one of the nicest ares in the county. I would have loved to have these activities as a kid.
