“The squirt park is an excellent addition to the (Whitney Community) park,” said Rick Forstall, operations manager, parks and facilities division for the City of Rocklin. “We have been excited about this since the initial brainstorm. It’s great to see the kids already enjoying it so much.” 

Even the squirt park keeps with the ranch theme noticeable throughout the master plan. The centerpiece of the water playground is the water tower which has four shower-style water features providing a large water play area. On the other side of the playground is what is known as the “wet saloon” that has four sprinklers and a water dump bucket. Not wet enough yet? Leave it to the two horse cannons and three ground geysers that squirt water up at various intervals and pressures to keep the kids wet all summer long.  

For the smaller children, the park features a foaming geyser with a softer flow. Surrounding the squirt park, parents can relax around picnic tables under abundant shade structures.  

Whitney Community Park opened in February and has been a major hit with the Rocklin community. Phase One of the Whitney Community Park provides athletic facilities including lighted softball and baseball fields to the City of Rocklin, along with convenient parking, a concession area and restrooms. Whitney Community Park is also the home of Rocklin Pony Baseball.  “Newland Communities has done such a great job with this park,” said Mark Riemer director of the department of community services and facilities for the City of Rocklin. “Rocklin residents are fortunate to have access to such a spectacular facility.”
