Sahuaro District Weekly Update

January 12, 2024

Dear Sahuaro Residents,

With the New Year comes new opportunities to visit our parks and enjoy recreation around the city.

The city of Glendale has over 70 parks for residents to enjoy year-round. Whether you’re interested in playgrounds for your children, or just sitting outside in nature, Glendale’s parks have many options.

Additionally, the city offers programming at multiple locations around Glendale. You can enjoy recreation programming for all ages at the Foothills Recreation and Aquatics Center, or you can visit one of our many libraries for a wide range of educational and learning opportunities.

The senior center is another great option for those in our community who want to meet new people while being active.

For more information on Parks and Recreation programming, click HERE

I’d also like to encourage everyone to attend the Founders Day 1892 event this Saturday, January 13^th in Downtown Glendale. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our city and enjoy the downtown businesses.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Councilmember Ray Malnar
