Your favorite new Anaheim restaurant is here.

Gallery just opened at the Anaheim Hills Golf Club offering a California fusion menu and stunning views.

While great after a round of golf, you don't have to be a golfer to enjoy it!

The restaurant, open to everyone, has Palm Desert vibes with its golf course views, outdoor firepits and upscale food and drinks.

Come by for a great meal, drinks on the deck or for an after-golf gathering.

The Gallery's patio features bar rail seating overlooking the golf course, shade coverings, glass view shields and electric heaters.

Indoor space is upscale casual with dining tables, a bar and TVs.

The menu mixes cuisines and dishes with the Nohl Ranch turkey burger, bibimbap rice bowl and Anaheim Hills cheesesteak, among other selections.

Gallery offers an extensive wine list, specialty cocktails and tap craft beers, including several from Anaheim breweries.

Check out Gallery at 6501 E. Nohl Ranch Road, open daily from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. See more here.

Update: west Anaheim cameras, clearings

We have been restoring parks, freeways, railways and other spaces as part of a citywide effort we call Restoring our Public Spaces.

The impact can be seen across Anaheim, and we're also providing help to those we encounter.

Our latest efforts include west Anaheim.

We've added high-visibility cameras to Maxwell and Twila Reid parks. You can't help but see them, and that's the point.

Cameras are monitored by police and other city staff.

Everyone is welcome in our parks, but we need to abide by rules for the benefit of all who enjoy our parks.

Cameras have been a big part of our efforts addressing issues at Chaparral, La Palma, Pearson and other parks as well as other spots around our city.

We also recently cleared a large, dangerous encampment near railways and in open space under power lines near Nutwood Street in the area of Brookhurst Street and Katella Avenue (pictured above).

In response to concerns of residents whose homes back up to the area, we cleared a large encampment on Jan. 25.

We continue to see challenges in the area. So in the days and weeks ahead, we'll be clearing the area again and removing bushes and other brush, adding fencing and making other landscaping changes to deter encampments.

All of our efforts are done with compassion and a goal of helping all we encounter.

No one should be living along railways or under power lines. It's inhumane, unsustainable and unacceptable for working families in nearby neighborhoods.

Anaheim leads Orange County in providing daily social worker outreach, emergency shelter, substance abuse, mental health and other care as well as transitional and long-term supportive housing.

When someone is breaking the law and finds themselves in court, we will be there to offer services as an alternative to jail through our Access program, where our city prosecutors work with judges and public defenders to offer recovery services.

You can learn more at Anaheim.net/homeless.

All about street sweeping

Anaheim's street sweeping trucks are out in our neighborhoods and beyond keeping our city clean.

As great as that is, we get a lot of questions about street sweeping. So here's a deep dive on street sweeping.

Why street sweeping?

We sweep to keep our neighborhoods and entire city clean.

We also sweep to keep trash, debris and pollution from flowing into storm drains and waterways and making its way to the ocean, where it harms the environment and marine life.

If you've ever seen the saddening sight of trash washed to the beach after rain, well, that's a big part of why we sweep. While we don't live next to the beach in Anaheim, protecting the coastal environment is still something we should all embrace.

Across Anaheim, sweeping clears trash and debris from our streets, making your neighborhood better and keeping our city clean.

Why citations?

We know moving vehicles on sweeping days can be challenging in neighborhoods where parking is difficult. We thank you for doing your part and making way for the street sweeping.

Citing vehicles for street sweeping is the last thing we want to do. If everyone moved vehicles to make way for street sweeping, that would be great. But we know that doesn't happen without citations.

Without moving vehicles, street sweeping isn't as effective and people aren't getting the full service they pay for.

Residents and businesses pay for street sweeping as part of their utility bills.

To pay for, inquire about or request a special exemption from citations, call (888) 255-9711.

When is street sweeping?

We sweep in neighborhoods Monday through Thursday with morning routes from 8 a.m. to noon (a small number of areas start at 7:30 a.m. and are posted with signs.)

Afternoon routes are from noon to 4 p.m.

Look for signs throughout your neighborhood and other areas. If the street sweeper comes earlier or later than posted, we do not issue citations.

Street sweeping trucks can come anytime during morning or afternoon route hours.

On Fridays, weekends and overnight, we sweep major streets, alleys and business parts of our city. But those routes don't impact neighborhoods.

See our street sweeping map here. 

Sweeping in rain, wind

We sweep in rain and wind and rarely call off street sweeping because of its importance to neighborhoods and the environment.

We sweep in light to moderate rain — it actually cuts the need for our trucks to spay water. We will only cancel for rain after hours of heavy rain with major water buildup on streets.

Sweeping in and around rain is even more important as rain washes trash and pollution to the ocean.

We also sweep during wind. Yes, more debris will be blown after we pass. But sweeping during wind reduces the overall amount of windblown debris on our streets.

Holidays

We do not sweep on major holidays. On other holidays, we sweep without citations.

You can see a holiday schedule at Anaheim.net/streetsweeping.

Street sweeping updates

We regularly post about street sweeping on the city of Anaheim's Facebook and Instagram accounts, so make sure you're following us.

Be sure to like our posts so the algorithms show you them in a timely fashion.

We post 24 hours or more ahead of holidays.

On days where there might be weather-related questions about whether we're sweeping, we will post updates typically by 7 a.m. or earlier.

Student exchange trip to Japan

We're proud to call Mito, Japan, our Sister City.

And we're looking for Anaheim students interested in a cultural exchange trip to Japan this summer!

Six Anaheim students are set to be selected for a summer visit to Mito, about 70 miles north of Tokyo.

The exchange program offers Anaheim freshmen, sophomores and juniors a chance to travel to Mito to experience the city's history, culture and more!

The two-week trip is late June through mid-July. Selected students travel with an Anaheim chaperone and other city officials and stay with host families in Mito.

The trip includes visits to schools, meeting the mayor of Mito and taking part in cultural events.

Apply by Feb. 28 at Anaheim.net/SisterCity.

Questions? Contact Anaheim's Kimberly Kelemen at kkelemen@anaheim.net

Mito has been Anaheim's sister city for nearly 50 years.

We're both similar in size and are visitor cities, with Mito home to gardens, art, history and not far from Toyko Disney Resort.

The sister city relationship has fostered cultural understanding and appreciation, a revived exchange student program and trips between our two cities and countries.

In 2024, we hosted six Mito students in Anaheim, where they got the full experience visiting City Hall, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Anaheim Convention Center, Disneyland and more!

The idea of sister cities dates back to 1956 and President Eisenhower as a way to encourage positive relationships and cultural exchanges with other countries.

Follow us on social media, where we'll be sharing more on how to become a host family for the students visiting us from Mito.

Keep balloons away and the power on!

Valentine's Day is a time of chocolates, cards, flowers and ... big red balloons!

Those heart-shaped balloons are a loving gesture. But help us keep the power on at your home and business by securing balloons.

Mylar balloons are made of a metal-coated plastic and are a frequent cause of power outages in our neighborhoods. We all know how frustrating that is.

Anaheim Public Utilities provides highly reliable electrical service to our city. But keeping balloons out of power lines takes all of us.

When balloons get in power lines, they disrupt the flow of power, causing a short circuit and an outage.

You can report and look up power outages online at Anaheim.net/outage.

We'll always work to restore service as soon as possible. But prevention is the best option.

If you are celebrating Valentine's Day with balloons, here are some tips:

• Keep metallic balloons indoors if possible
• If outdoors, make sure balloons are securely tied or anchored by a weight
• Before disposing of balloons, deflate them while still tethered and weighted

And there's another reason to keep balloons grounded. Runaway balloons are bad for our environment, including for land and sea animals that may encounter them.

Thanks for doing your part and happy Valentine's Day!
