Playing games at Polo Park
Polo Park is the nearest green space about a mile south of the neighborhood. The park has a playground, a splash pad and eight athletic fields, making it a popular spot for sports, Gordon says. Almondale Park is about 2 miles away and includes basketball courts, a small pavilion and a playground; the park hosts occasional movie nights on its large grassy field. The public can access the Links at Riverlakes Ranch Golf Course, an 18-hole facility that’s 4 miles away.Getting around Bakersfield
People can reach downtown Bakersfield by hopping on Olive Drive, which leads to California State Route 99, a major north-south highway. Kern Transit has public bus stops along Olive Drive, and at Frontier High School on Allen Road. Meadows Field Airport is 8 miles northeast, and Dignity Health - Mercy Hospital Southwest is the closest hospital, 6 miles south.Shopping around RiverLakes Galleria
Nottingham Estates is largely suburban, but plenty of shopping and dining options are close by. RiverLakes Galleria is the closest shopping center, about 2 miles away. It includes a Walmart, PetSmart, In-Shape Family Fitness and many chain restaurants like Habit Burger and Grill. River Run Plaza, about 3 miles east, has an Albertsons grocery store and a Rite Aid. Kamisama Ramen is a small Asian spot serving dishes like pho and tempura shrimp.

Air pollution in Bakersfield
Because Bakersfield is positioned in a valley near the mountains, pollution tends to get trapped in the air. Dust also accumulates because of the city’s large agriculture industry. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District has programs like Park and Ride, which encourage developers to build commuter lots and decrease vehicle usage.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
