The Park Division has an ongoing program through which individuals, groups, or organizations can purchase an engraved brick for installation at the Caper Acres playground. Bricks may have up to 3 lines of engraving with a maximum of 14 characters and spaces per line. The current cost per brick is $100. Funds received are set aside for the upkeep of the playground.

We invite the public to purchase and help install new exercise stations to replace the current Vita Course stations. An instructional sign will accompany each new station and will list the donor of the station, if desired. New exercise stations have been purchased by the Chico Police Officers Association (knee lift station) and the Chico Noon Exchange Club (push up station).
