Celebrate National Park and Recreation Month!

July is National Park and Recreation Month, and this year’s theme of “Where You Belong” is very fitting for our residents!

Whether you are a competitive athlete, an active octogenarian, or a young resident looking to make the most of the summer break, our many parks and facilities are definitely a place where you can come to exercise, be social, or just enjoy the outdoors.

Each one of our many parks has something unique that makes it the perfect place to spend a Moreno Valley day—from the water features at Celebration and Bethune Parks to the skate parks at Community Park and Valley Park. 

Also, make sure to check the Soaring Guide for all the exciting programs and services that make Moreno Valley a great place to live.

Pet of the Week: Sasquatch

Our Pet of the Week is Sasquatch, a two-year-old black Pug mix.

Sasquatch is an incredibly laid-back and friendly pup. He's great on a leash and loves to go on leisurely walks through the park, but most of all, he loves to just chill on the couch, getting his ears and tummy scratched.

Sasquatch has a slightly longer snoot and hair than most Pugs, but he still has the adorable Pug underbite and familiar (but lovable) Pug 'snort'.

If you would like to make Sasquatch or any pet from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter part of your family, please contact the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951.413.3790 or visit www.moval.org/pets.
