Join the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Fire District, and Police Department as we commemorate the anniversary of September 11, 2001, at the upcoming 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony on Thursday, September 11, beginning at 8:30 a.m. The ceremony will be located at its new, permanent home, the Spagnolo 9/11 Memorial Park (10597 Town Center Drive).  

The 9/11 terror attacks took the lives of 2,977 men, women, and children in New York, NY, Arlington, VA, and near Shanksville, PA. As a way to continue to honor their lives, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has built the Spagnolo 9/11 Memorial Park which incorporates remnants from all three crash sites.  

This permanent memorial creates a space to reflect and remember September 11, 2001, as a community and to honor fallen service members. To learn more about the history of the Spagnolo 9/11 Memorial Park, click the button below.
