Chino Hills – The much anticipated Chino Hills Community Center held its Grand Opening,  on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014.  The dedication began at 10 a.m. with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and special unveiling of the Donor Bricks in the courtyard.  Attendees enjoyed live music, art exhibits, class demonstrations, information booths, delicious desserts, and much more.  Tours of the new 17,000 square foot facility and adjacent park up were available until 2 p.m. on Saturday.

If you miss the Grand Opening, be sure and stop by 14250 Peyton Drive, in Chino Hills, to check out the new building and all the wonderful programs that are offered.  Amenities in the new facility include a fitness/dance room, exercise room, game room, conference rooms, banquet hall, courtyard, and outdoor gazebo (perfect for a wedding destination).  The Community Center is located next to the McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center, which brings even more possibilities for community events to mind.

For those that like to enjoy the recreational activities that all the trails in Chino Hills provide, please be advised that the Hickory Creek Park and Nature Trail will be closed for maintenance from Feb. 5 to Feb. 14, 2014.  The park closure will start at Rolling Ridge Drive and continue east to Pipeline Avenue.  The park and nature trail will be closed weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  The maintenance will allow crews to clear the creek of heavy vegetation and prepare the site for upcoming construction including stabilization of the banks, streambed enhancements, and additional landscaping with native trees, groundcover, and shrubs.

Park and trail access points will be blocked at Rolling Ridge Drive, Willow Lane, and Pipeline Avenue.  All access is prohibited during the posted hours in order to allow crews and equipment to work safely.  If you need additional information, call (909) 364-2722.
