Los Banos Parks and Recreation celebrated the summer in style on June 25 at Movie Night in Creekside Park. Hundreds of residents enjoyed fun, games, inflatables, giveaways and a viewing of “The Sandlot.”
Over twenty volunteers helped to paint the basketball court, leaving a long-lasting legacy at the park. The paint is colorful and skid-free. Parks and Rec staff will be applying a second coat over the coming weeks.
