Good evening, San Gabriel

Late last week, the City received notice that it was the recipient of the latest KaBOOM! project for a new playground at Smith Park! Please join us tonight at the Asian Youth Center at 232 West Clary Avenue for a chance to help design San Gabriel's next playground. Our Design Day begins at 5:00 p.m. and runs until 8:00 p.m. Please come by and share your thoughts!

Now, here's what's making news for the week of January 23, 2019:
Help up design and build a new playground at Smith Park
The City of San Gabriel is happy to announce that we are building a new playground at Smith Park with the assistance of the Asian Youth Center, The CarMax Foundation and KaBOOM! – but we need your help!

On March 14, 2019 we will build a great new place for kids to play at San Gabriel’s very own Smith Park in a single day. But first, we will kick off the project at Design Day on January 23 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Asian Youth Center. Here, San Gabriel community members will select our playground components based on designs from San Gabriel’s kids.
"Ella Cinders" at the Playhouse January 27
Next up in the Playhouse's Silent Sundays series is "Ella Cinders," featuring silent film star Colleen Moore on January 27!

"Full of the laughs that reach your heart," the 1926 film is adapted from the popular comic strip loosely based on the Cinderella story. Accompanying the film on the Playhouse's 1924 Wurlitzer pipe organ is Mark Herman.
