Verse 2 He don't just fix a bike -- he reads the road you've ridden, Finds the story in the spokes, the truth you've half‑forgiven. Subway's baking bread, Pizzaville's throwing heat, But George is the warmth that keeps the whole block sweet. Pre‑Chorus Dogs getting groomed, laughter hiding in the club, Verde Market's singing while the kitchens simmer love. Southside Philippines, northside Vietnamese air, And George stands in the middle like he's holding all the care. Chorus Big feller, big heart, big hands steady and true, George tunes a bike like he's tuning up you. Cha‑cha man of the crossroads, keeper of the ride, Every wheel rolls straighter when George is by your side. Verse 3 Your new basket gleams like a sunrise grin, Old basket bows out -- says, "Let the next tale begin." Jessie at the park nods, "Yeah, that's Pops‑grade lore," And George wipes his hands like he's heard it all before. Bridge Some folks fix metal, some folks fix time, Some folks fix silence with a laugh or a rhyme. But George -- he fixes motion, he fixes the day, He sends you rolling out lighter than you came in the bay. Final Chorus Big feller, big soul, big laugh shaking the street, George is the rhythm where the cha‑cha meets the beat. Oak Street's guardian, Wookie of the bend, He don't just fix your bike -- he makes the road your friend. Outro So ride on, Pops, through the Bakersfield blend, With a George‑tuned wheel and a story that won't end.

The pool is open from June 6- August 5 and the cost to use it is $1, though you can buy season passes for $50 or a 30 day pass for $30. There are lessons offered for an additional fee, call 392-2034 for more info. The pool is open to the public from 2:00-4:30 M-F. From 9:00 am-12:30 pm the pool is only open for private lessons and from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm for group lessons. There are also two lighted softball diamonds for day or night games, a large grassy field with plenty of shade, and even separate play structures for children young and old to play on over beds of bark to cushion falls. There is a large covered picnic area with tables and barbecue grills for summertime get togethers. The female restrooms were clean and well stocked with toilet paper and the people using the park seemed to be mostly families with young children.

Growing up in Wasco there were very few places to skateboard. Tenants would often by upset when you…read moreskated in their parking lots and sidewalks were generally unavailable. That left skateboarding to open roads and the occasional school parking lot. Once the Wasco Skatepark opened that changed everything! While there's not much shade, this skatepark does include most everything a skater would need. Including a quarter pipe and/or halfpipe, handrails, funboxes, banks and more. It's generally very busy on weekends, but the vibe is chill and enjoyable.

From a non-scooter parent point of view the facilities were great. Clean, kept up and much bigger in person that what you see online. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Customer service is vital for a good review and they had it. They offer accommodations for overnight stays but we opted for a local Airbnb for our family's needs. From a scooter (or skate) point of view Woodward really is one of the best. There are so many parks within the complex for every level of ability. You can see from my pictures the variety they offer both indoor and outdoor. If you have a rider/skater in your family, it's a must go on your list of places to visit. We look forward to coming again. PS - Our boy took second place in his division for the North America Championship.

The atmosphere was…read moreupbeat, and it was a great time for families, especially with kids who are just learning how to skate. Once the disco lights started and the pace picked up, the environment felt much less safe. Some skaters were going very fast and weaving around children who were clearly beginners. It became stressful rather than enjoyable, especially for younger or inexperienced skaters. It might be helpful to offer separate skate times, one for beginners and intermediate skaters and another for more proficient or advanced skaters- to make the experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Overall, it has a lot of potential and could be a fantastic family-friendly spot with a few adjustments to skating flow and safety.

The ambiance was great. Since it was the night session, the disco ball and lights were shining. Every thirty minutes or so, the DJ announces a game that skaters can participate in. I can't wait to come back and skate again.

Usually regulars will tie extra poop bags to the fence and bring bottles of water. Because this park is a sump, garbage can sometimes wind up at the bottom of the park, but it's maintained weekly and is usually pretty clean for a dog park. The one thing this place NEEDS desperately is more signage about the rules. Last Sunday, July 11, 2021 we arrived around 8am and found a group of about 20 boys and 4 coaches having football practice. Usually I wouldn't mind this type of thing and welcome the socialization for the dogs, but the kids were not properly talked to about respecting the dog park. One of the boys opened the fence gate and let both of my dogs out, who of course then bolted out into the busy street. I feel that this could have been avoided if there were proper signs about closing the fence and being mindful of the dogs. Especially because this dog park is just the small fenced in area of a larger park, I feel like they could play anywhere and dogs really just have this one spot.
