Chico Area Recreation and Park District Information

Have you played today? Here at the Chico Area Recreation & Park District (CARD), we believe in the importance of being out in nature, enjoying parks and providing our community with outdoor and recreational opportunities where people receive more from their experiences than what they were seeking. CARD is proud to have been providing those outdoor opportunities and positive experiences in Chico for nearly 75 years. CARD’s motto is to ensure that “you have played today” and we do that through the maintenance of our many neighborhood and community parks and facilities. Many different types of events occur throughout CARD including weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, sports programs, and other locally supported events. We provide these memorable experiences for our community by hiring passionate people who want to work hard to ensure our parks and facilities are safe, clean, and ready for the next event.
