MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER
Ken Pulskamp
July 2007

Summertime in Santa Clarita means it's time for the City's free Concerts in the Park series. Every Saturday night from July 7 through August 25, the City hosts a free summer concert at Central Park, beginning at 7 p.m. and this year, featuring tribute bands. Food and beverages are available for sale. We encourage you to bring along a blanket or chairs and enjoy the sounds of summer at Central park! More information about the Concerts in the Park series is available on our website at or http://www.santa-clarita.com/arts/concerts call 661-298-ARTS.

Summer is also a great time to visit a City pool. The Santa Clarita Aquatics Center features an Olympic-sized pool, a 25-meter diving pool and a family recreation pool with a beach entry and a two-story high red slide. Swimming lessons are offered to children of all ages and are available throughout the City. For more information, contact the City's Aquatic Center office at 661-250-3700.

On July 11, 2007, the City celebrates the official opening of the newly re-striped Old Town Newhall. As part of the City's redevelopment of Old Town, a new traffic pattern is being laid out to help create a more pedestrian-friendly venue for visitors, featuring "back in angled parking." Expanding Railroad Avenue and re-striping what is now "Main Street" (formerly San Fernando Road) is the first major step toward this goal. More information on this is available at: www.oldtownnewhall.com.

Thank you for your interest in the City of Santa Clarita. It is always a pleasure to hear from you at kpulskamp@santa-clarita.com.


Best regards,
Ken Pulskamp
