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 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 www.santa-clarita.com or by calling 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, 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 created to help create a more pedestrian-friendly venue for visitors. Expanding Railroad Avenue and re-striping the streets is the first major step toward this goal.
