City of Santa Clarita Press Release

Public Invited to Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Valencia Community Center

Join us as we open the third Community Center in Santa Clarita!

The City of Santa Clarita is excited to invite the community to the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Valencia Community Center! Join us on Monday, December 9 at 10:00 a.m. at Valencia Summit Park (26147 McBean Parkway – the former YMCA building) to celebrate this exciting addition to our community. The event will kick off with a formal ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by guided tours of the facility and a Belly Flop Contest where staff from the City, Los Angeles County Fire Department, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol will compete for the biggest splash, sound and slap.

This 12,000-square-foot Community Center will feature the City’s first-ever indoor pool, complete with three lanes for year-round swim classes, water aerobics, adult learn-to-swim programs and more. This site will also host an array of Contract Classes, including Tai Chi and MELT, to support wellness and recreation. In January, we will offer three-year-old Primetime Preschool classes, as well as a new Parent and Me class. Looking forward to the summer, the Community Center will also be home to the popular Camp Clarita program, ensuring endless opportunities for fun and growth for our youngest residents.

Don’t miss the chance to explore the new facility and learn more about all of the upcoming recreational opportunities for our community! For more information about the Valencia Community Center, please contact Lisa Nikkila at lnikkila@santaclarita.gov.
