Gold Bug Park has done it again! Our local treasure has received the 2016 CHAMPION OF THE COMMUNITY AWARD by the California Park and Recreation Society!<\/p>\n

Of over 535 Districts, Gold Bug received this honor by its body of work and the extensive, vibrant volunteer base that supports it.<\/p>\n

Thousands of school children visit the park each year, and visitors from over 56 countries have enjoyed this historical peak into our past.<\/p>\n

Kudos to the amazing volunteers and City Staff that work diligently to support this incredible attraction!<\/p>\n

Susan Panzieri Zito added, “It is still a huge honor for the Gold Bug Park Development Committee to be recognized statewide for the body of work it has accomplished in its 35+ years of existence. I’m proud and honored to be part of this group.”<\/p>\n
