Sunnyvale Trailer Park is a trailer park in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Probably.

Background[]

It is unclear how long Sunnyvale has been in operation, but it has been established since at least 1977. Many of the residents of the park grew up there, including Ricky, Bubbles and Julian.[1] Originally, the park was owned and operated by Jim Lahey and Barbara Lahey[2] but the management has changed hands several times. Sam Losco has tried to take over, but that didn't work out.

Little is known about life in the park prior to Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles reaching adulthood. It appears as though things ran more or less smoothly. Early on, Jim and Randy patrolled the park and dealt with minor incidences and occasionally have helped to send the boys to jail. As things progress, Jim's aggressive alcoholism combined with large and more complex illegal activity in the park started to take its toll.[3]

Following a brief period of disrepair in the park because of Jim's drunkenness and distractedness, the park 'goes to shit' – there are open car fires and garbage everywhere and Bottle Kids rule the streets. An election to appoint a new supervisor occurs with Sam Losco as the opposing party occurs, but Jim ends up being re-elected and starts taking care of things again. However, later on, he ends up becoming the Park Supervisor after Jim and Randy are falsely arrested for stealing an ATM machine. [4] Ricky becomes the supervisor under Barb's management, with Bubbles as assistant until they are overthrown following the events of Community Day where they lost a wrestling match to Jim and Randy for the title. [5]

Jim and Randy regain the mantle of power for some time until it becomes clear that Jim's drinking is getting in the way of the work. Randy appeals to Barb to take over the job and he is given the title of Associate Trailer Park Supervisor.[6]   Later on, Jim cleans himself up and becomes a policeman again, signs a peace agreement with the boys, and agrees to have Ray (previously evicted from the park) assigned as Assistant Supervisor. [7] Randy moves up to Supervisor shortly thereafter and Ray quits soon after that. By the time the events of the Swayzie Express are over, Jim and Randy are back running the park again for the foreseeable future. [8]

Following the events of Country Dirty Dancing, Jim builds a second trailer park down the road and calls it Lahey's Luxury Estates. He leaves the original Sunnyvale sire mostly abandoned. Many of Sunnyvale's residents move to the newer, more well-maintained site although some residents remain in the original park. Later, in a drunken rage and as part of a larger plan to hurt Julian, Jim demolishes several trailers and structures with heavy machinery, further damaging the establishment.[9] After this, it becomes unclear whether or not Lahey's Estate remains in operation but it appears that Sunnyvale is resurrected and reconstructed moving forward.

With Sunnyvale back in operation, Barb struggles to maintain financial liquidity and the means to continue owning Sunnyvale. She wants to sell, but Jim owns 1% of the share, enough to block the sale. Jim is also about to retire and hand the reins to Randy to act as supervisor.[10]
