Whether you're already a Hacienda employee or resident or a prospective one, all the information you could ever want about the park is a few mouse clicks away at www.hacienda.org, the park's web site. Do you want to receive a free pass to ride the local WHEELS buses? Information on the local arts and entertainment scene? Details on in-park childcare options? A directory showing a complete list of park tenants? Discount coupons for Paramount's Great America, Six Flags Marine World, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, or local sports teams like the Oakland A's and Golden State Warriors? All this and more may be found on the Hacienda web site at www.hacienda.org. This month, we'll take a look at the site and offer a brief summary of the information that can be found in each of its 13 main sections.
For questions on Hacienda's size, location, access, population, and even details on how the park is managed and maintained, the web site's General Information section is the place to go. The main sections and sub-sections under this category are:
