The City of Santa Clarita’s Sports Complex, which is home to the Skate Park, Aquatic Center, Gymnasium and Activities Center, is open for drop-in recreational programs once again following a week long series of closures due to poor air quality. The Recreation Division is still monitoring the air quality and all facilities are still subject to closure in the event of a significant drop in air quality. Residents may want to call ahead before heading to the facilities.
Organized Youth Sports programs and classes will resume tomorrow, September 5, although the City advises residents to pay close attention to air quality before resuming strenuous outdoor activity. All Youth Sports activities will resume except those scheduled for Central Park. All activities at Central Park are canceled until further notice because Central Park is currently being used as a staging area for emergency personnel working on the Station Fire.
