A place where every child belongs. 💙Congratulations to the City of Rialto on the opening of its first inclusive playground and recognition as a PlayCore National Demonstration Site. Designed with accessibility, sensory-friendly features, and meaningful play opportunities in mind, this space helps ensure children of all abilities can play, connect, and thrive together.

Taking care of yourself is one of the best ways to care for others. 💚

For parents and caregivers, making time for movement can support mental wellness, reduce stress, and help build healthy habits that benefit the whole family. Whether it's a fitness class, a walk with friends, or a few minutes of activity each day, every step counts.

Get outside. Get active. Get connected. 🌳🏃‍♀️

Recreation and active play help build stronger bodies, healthier habits, and more connected communities. Whether it's exploring a trail, enjoying a local park, participating in sports, or simply spending time outdoors, every opportunity to move supports lifelong well-being.
