The Ashford Point neighborhood of Orangevale, California was established in 1844. In 1930, frost destroyed most of the orange groves, but the town continued to prosper. The neighborhood is located along Pecan Avenue, and is bordered to the north and south by the Orangevale Community Park and Pecan Park.

The park has programs for children to senior citizens. Trails are used for walking, biking and horseback riding. Orangevale is a horse-friendly community where some areas are zoned for horses and agriculture.
