When the land between the Kern River and Stockdale Highway was divided for future development, an odd-shaped lot was created.

The park also became the centerpiece for the development, which includes a mixture of residential, commercial, and retail space.

[2] Other amenities include six covered picnic areas, with seating capacities ranging from 16 to 48 people.

The primary style for the buildings is river rock walls and brown tile roofs.

A similar style bridge (with concrete instead of wood) crosses the Kern River near the park as a short extension to the bike path.
