★★Pat CarmichaelHey CARD... How about providing some portable potty's at Wildwood Park, at the 2nd ball field. A lot of Little League games are played out there, and parents/grandparents are tired of walking the long distance to the restrooms. Help!
★Jazmyne CraigCARD should rename itself to CRAP they have no organization. They refuse to respond to emails and phone calls, regularly mess up wording in those emails and phone calls and are completely unprofessional. These clowns don’t deserve a dime of our tax money. Absolute garbage.
★★★★★Sandra GobleCARD has amazing facilities for the Chico Community. CARD has invested alot of monies into building the 20th Street Pickleball courts. The courts have been abandoned from any maintenance by CARD. The new courts are covered in spilled sticky liquids, tree sap and leaves adhered to the sap. Time and effort for court maintenance will be required or the new courts will not be playable. Something new for CARD to allocate resources to these courts, but the time is now!
★★★★★Discover Chico CAJust spent the last hour on a Full Moon Hike put on through CARD!
★★★★★sharry hopeThis one story building is set amongst older oak trees, green lawns and a well manicured landscape. Around the back of the building is a beautiful area with flowering rose bushes in various colors. It's a beautiful setting for relaxing or having a wedding. There's a place for a reception or a dance hall inside. The Siri is used for dance lessons and other recreational activities. Be sure and check their schedule because they offer a lot of interesting classes.
