July 2023

Greetings!

As we embark on another summer season, it’s hard to believe that this is already my second summer serving this amazing community. Our Parks and Recreation team has been putting in tireless efforts over the fall and winter to reinstate beloved programs and services that were temporarily put on hold due to the pandemic. We are excited to share with you all the exciting plans we have in store for this summer, including a full-day Summer Camp "Canyon Kids" as well as indoor facility rentals, enrichment half-day camps, and so much more.

And the fun doesn’t stop there! We’re proud to collaborate with local nonprofits and community partners to host community events that celebrate our diverse and multicultural community, including Juneteenth and AC Pride. Make sure to mark your calendars for our 4th of July Celebration at Community Park II, where we will continue our parade, followed by our park festival and ending with a spectacular fireworks show. For a complete list of our amazing celebrations and community events, visit the Community Calendar on the City’s website, and don’t forget to subscribe to the City Manager’s Updates.

We’re dedicated to enhancing and expanding our programs and services within the Parks and Recreation Department, and we encourage you to get up, get out, and play with us! We hope you take advantage and experience all that we have to offer - from our parks, trails, and open spaces to our recreational programs and services. Let’s make this summer a memorable experience for you and your family here in American Canyon. I hope to bump into you soon!
