| Rawley Duntley Park Embarks on Exciting Journey of Revitalization |
Lancaster Community Gathers for Groundbreaking Ceremony
Lancaster, CA - Rawley Duntley Park, a cherished community landmark in Lancaster, took a significant step forward in its journey towards revitalization with a groundbreaking ceremony held today. City officials, alongside enthusiastic community members, gathered to mark the beginning of a transformative project set to breathe new life into the park.

This project underscores our commitment to providing residents with top-tier recreational facilities that promote inclusivity, health, and community engagement."
Rawley Duntley Park, spanning approximately 20 acres, has served as a hub for recreational activities for decades. However, with its last update dating back to the mid-1980s, the park is in need of modernization. The playground equipment and basketball courts, although well-loved by locals, have become outdated, necessitating upgrades to enhance accessibility, functionality, and aesthetics.
