Didar Singh Bains, who owns more than 40 pockets of land in 13 counties and his family were in attendance as Yuba City leaders broke ground Monday on the city’s next great park, Didar S. Bains Park in his honor.

Bains, who along with his business partners donated land to the city for the park, is a well-known member of the community whose impact on the area can be seen throughout the city, including as one of 26 founding members of the Sikh temple on Tierra Buena Road.

With an estimated total cost of more than $3 million, Didar S. Bains Park will have features that include 42 parking spots, two pavilion areas with shade structures, bathroom facilities, a bike park, a well-lit walking path around the park, an exercise and fitness area, a full-court basketball court, and a playground area for children.
