Hello AmCan,
I hope you have been soaking up the sunshine lately! This week's weather couldn't have been more perfect for our Skatepark Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Wednesday, April 10. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the celebration. It wouldn't have been possible without our hardworking Public Works and Park and Recreation Department's efforts and partnership with American Ramp Company.
The excitement continues and I encourage our community to explore our Parks and Recreation Summer Guide for numerous engaging activities to fill your summer days. From swimming lessons to camps and a variety of enriching sports and activities, there's something for everyone, regardless of age.
As time flies by, be sure to mark your calendars as we invite you to American Canyon's Earth Day celebration with the American Canyon Community and Parks Foundation at the Wetlands Edge Trail on Sunday, April 21.
Take Care,
Jason B. Holley
City Manager
