The firefighters are leaving after a job well done!
The City of Santa Clarita’s Central Park will be re-opened to the public. The last of the fire suppression units are leaving the area and the City’s parks maintenance staff will be evaluating the condition of the field before opening the park completely. Beginning this evening, park patrons may use the dog park, basketball courts and trails.
It’s anticipated that the park will be fully open for all organized recreational activities this weekend.
My dog certainly appreciates having Central Bark open again.
No one questions that the needs of the fire fighters outweigh our needs as a community to use Central Park during emergencies.
However, as an outdoorsy person, I came to miss having access to the park for the last two weeks. Some parks in Santa Clarita are better in some ways than Central Park (for picnics or lazy naps, Newhall and Hart come to mind because of their big, shady trees), but no park in town offers all the amenities that Central Park does (especially the dog park).
I’ll be glad to have it back this weekend!
Jeff,
please thank your dog for me. It is nice that dogs allowed the park to be used for such an important purpose.
