Love Anaheim
This Saturday
|
Neighborhood kids and families came out on April 23 to break in Anaheim's newest park.
Circle Park is Anaheim's 57th park.
At less than an acre, Circle Park isn't big. But its impact on west Anaheim's Park Circle neighborhood is.
The park brings a playground, four square court and barbecues with picnic tables, and provides a safe place for families to play and relax.
The apartment residents of Park Circle, who have little yard space, helped design everything down to the green, yellow and purple hues of the kids play area.
The project also brought new sidewalks, curbs, streetlights and parking spaces. In an area where parking spaces are scarce, the improvements yielded about 25 additional spots for the community.

One of Orange County's oldest and largest celebrations of Mexican culture returns to Anaheim this week for its 46th year of food, games, live music and entertainment.
Families, community groups and volunteers have spent countless hours preparing for the Anaheim 5 de Mayo Fiesta that kicks off today and runs through Sunday, May 1 at La Palma Park (1000 N. Harbor Blvd.).
This family friendly annual event has grown into a four-day celebration with carnival rides today and Friday leading up to a weekend full of authentic Mexican food, a soccer tournament and live entertainment including mariachis, folkloric groups and more.
For a preview of this weekend's entertainment and events, check out this video or visit the Anaheim 5 de Mayo Facebook page.

We joined Republic Services in celebrating Earth Day with the launch of an advanced commercial sorting system at their Anaheim Recycling Center.
Each day, the new system is capable of processing more than 1,000 tons of recyclable material that is collected from Anaheim homes and businesses.
The sorting system helps keep Anaheim and Orange County at the forefront of sustainability practices.
With more than 600 employees, Republic Services helps the city of Anaheim serve about 200,000 residential and 12,000 commercial customers.
A video of the commercial sorting system can be viewed HERE.

In early April, Anaheim Police arrested 33-year-old Whittier resident Jonas McClanahan on suspicion of burglarizing an Anaheim Hills home and taking about $150,000 worth of baseball cards, autographed baseballs and pictures, jewelry, coins, paintings and other valuables.
After the arrest, Anaheim detectives were able to link property recovered from McClanahan's home to six other Anaheim Hills burglaries and four in Yorba Linda from January through early April.
If you think your property is among the items recovered, contact Anaheim Police at (714) 765-1900.

 For Earth Day, the city of Anaheim planted its 50,000th shade tree as part of a program to save energy, beautify our city and help the environment. City officials joined students to plant the tree at Olive Street Elementary School. The planting was part of TreePower, a program by Anaheim Public Utilities and Anaheim Community Services that provides shade trees to residents, businesses, schools and nonprofits. TreePower began in 1992. Shade trees can reduce air conditioning demand by up to 40 percent. Mature trees can help reduce lawn water usage by up to 50 percent.
