I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the families and community leaders who joined us to celebrate the reopening of the Maxie L. Parks Community Center! It was a successful event and it was all thanks to the PARCS Department, West Fresno Family Resource Center, and their dedicated staff! We are beyond excited to have our residents use the center once again. Please check out the December calendar below for the all activities and gym hours they have available.
DOWNTOWN CHRISTMAS PARADE
After last year’s Christmas Parade cancellation, we are excited for it to be back this year! Our office will be participating, so look out for our ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ themed float.
The parade will go down Fulton Street, beginning at Tulare St. and Ventura St. After the parade concludes, a tree lighting ceremony will take place at Mariposa Plaza.
Please join us at this delightful event for an afternoon full of fun, food, and craft vendors!
WHO: Downtown Fresno Partnership and District 3 WHERE: Fulton Street WHEN: Saturday, December 11 at 1 p.m.
SOUTHWEST FRESNO TRAIL PROJECT
Exciting update for the Southwest Fresno Trail Project! During the 12/9/21 Council Meeting, the City Council approved an agreement for engineering services with Sherwood Design Engineers, Inc. The TCC funded project includes a Class I trail, trees, trail lighting, and street lighting.
There will be opportunities for the community to provide input for the trail design. Stay tuned!
HINTON PARK
Hinton Park will soon see more lighting on the playfields!
Currently, Hinton Park has field lights at the baseball field, but the area between the baseball field and the parking lot is unlit and too dark for sporting activities. During the 12/9/21 Council Meeting, the City Council approved a construction contract with C2 Electrical for the installation of additional LED light fixtures.
We have a projected completion date of early Summer 2022. Our office will keep you updated.
NEW WEST FRESNO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
The new home development project will feature almost 600 single-family homes and a community park on the east and west sides of S. Valentine Ave. north of W. Madison Ave.
This will create opportunities for first-time homebuyers and working families to own homes and build generational wealth. The City and my office committed to working with the community and the developer to create a new community that supports the need for green space and single-family homes.
OPERATION CLEAN UP
Do you have any large items you wish to dispose of? For the month of December, the City’s Operation Clean Up will be picking up bulky items in Central Fresno neighborhoods.
