Rancho Cordova: Where Are the Playgrounds?

Rancho Cordova is expanding quickly. New houses are being built, and new families are moving in. But there's a problem. The city doesn't have enough places for kids to play and families to spend time together. Right now, there aren't many options. Peek-a-Boo Factory is one of the few new places trying to fix this issue. They noticed the need and took action. People want more safe and exciting places for their kids to have fun. They want spots where families can create memories together. The city is paying attention and thinking about ways to bring in more businesses. City leaders are talking about a plan to offer money to attract new entertainment and dining spots. They might give up to $25, 000 to bring in movie theaters, bowling alleys, fitness centers, child care services, and full-service restaurants. The goal is to make Rancho Cordova a top destination for family fun and help the local economy. The money for these incentives comes from a sales tax increase approved by voters in 2020. The city council will soon decide on this plan. Business owners like Gabby Hernandez from Peek-a-Boo Factory support this idea. They think it could bring more opportunities and make the city a better place for families. But will this plan work? Some people might wonder if the money could be better spent elsewhere. Others might ask if the city should focus on different priorities first. It's a big decision, and everyone will be watching to see what happens next.
