About the REC Foundation

A little more than a century ago, one of the founders of the community conceived the Downtown City Park as the centerpiece of Paso Robles. This beautiful city block dedicated to activity, assembly, and attractiveness personified our founders' value of quality leisure experiences. Its placement and dedication proved critical to the establishment and development of our city's commitment to quality places, programs and spaces.

We take time to look back on what worked, what didn’t, and how we can continue to improve—together.

When we deliver, it’s not just a finished product—it’s a solution you can trust, backed by real care and effort.
