As the summer winds down, the Cordova Recreation & Park District’s (CRPD) calendar is winding up! CRPD is hosting three annual events in September – Family Swim Night and Movie, Meet the Machines and Barktoberfest. Hosted in CRPD parks and facilities, these events invite the community to enjoy some quality fun outside with family and friends!
Family Swim Night and Movie: Friday, September 6 | 4:30 – 9 p.m. | Cordova Community Pool and Hagan Community Park
At this event, we’ll kick off the evening with a $1 family swim night at the Cordova Community Pool, where families can enjoy swimming and water games from 4:30 to 7 p.m. With local food and drink vendors on-site, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
After Family Swim Night, continue the fun at Hagan Community Park with a special outdoor screening of Disney’s Inside Out from 7 to 9 p.m. Spread out your blankets on the baseball field and settle in for a heartwarming movie experience under the stars. This event combines the best of summer evenings—community, entertainment and a bit of magic. We hope to see you there!

This community event also features local vendors and organizations, making this the perfect event to explore many of the services and organizations Rancho has to offer. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to spark curiosity and celebrate the innovative spirit of our community.

Grab your lederhosen and your leashes, because this September CRPD invites you and your pups to celebrate Barktoberfest with us at Lincoln Village Community Park. This exciting event is open to all ages, offering a day packed with fun activities, local dog-related vendors, music and delicious treats (for humans and canines alike). Vendor offerings will include dog toys, artisanal treats, pet accessories and information from local organizations.
Pups can dive into the fun with a refreshing splash in the pool, dash through an exciting agility course or sniff out all the goodies at our vendor booths. Meanwhile, their humans can indulge in tasty food and beverages. And in true Oktoberfest fashion, The Local Bark, will be hosting a lively beer garden and food trucks will be serving up bratwursts!
Raise a glass (or a paw) and join us for a day full of tail-wagging fun.
