As of now, Rancho Family Fest 2020, is scheduled to take place virtually on June 13th.

The Parkway Sports Bar & GrillUnfortunately we have had to completely close The Parkway Sports Bar & Grill. We have had to lay off all our employees and have actually set up a Go Fund me page for them (see below). We purchased the restaurant on Oct 29th and spent a great deal of money over the past few months revamping, renaming and rebranding. We were just starting to see in dining business picking up but we have not had enough time to established enough takeout business to justify the costs to stay open for 2-4 orders a day hence the complete shutdown. We are working on menu options with the hope to partially reopen and rehire some of our employees in the coming weeks.Go fund me page: gf.me/u/xrpvmr | Envision SportWe have revised our hours. We are now open 8am – 5pm (originally 8am to 7pm).We are also now providing telehealth services. If anyone suffers an injury during this time, or wishes to continue their physical therapy care virtually, we have the ability to do so. | Boys & Girls Club of Capistrano ValleyWe have started running virtual programs for our members. Everyone is working remote. If anyone needs to get ahold of the Club, you can email Nicole Watson at nwatson@bgccapo.com |
