Yesterday, I attended the groundbreaking of the Union Pacific Park and Trail in Fullerton.

This project transforms the former Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way into the Union Pacific Trail and Bike Path, connecting neighborhoods and promoting sustainable, active transportation.

As part of the project’s commitment to environmental sustainability, at least 176 new trees will be planted along the trail. This enhanced recreational space will provide residents with a safe and accessible area for outdoor activities, contributing to the city’s long-term vision of creating greener, more connected public spaces.

Congratulations to the City of Fullerton, the City Council, and its residents on the ground breaking of this new park.

Last week I attended the 75th Anniversary Korean War Memorial Event at Hillcrest Park.

While the Korean War may not always be in the spotlight, its legacy of sacrifice, international unity, and lasting peace remain with us. We honor those who served, their bravery and sacrifice, and the resilience that helped build the vibrant democracy we cherish today.

Orange County is proud to be part of this shared history. Korean Americans have become an integral part of our community, shaping its fabric, enriching our culture, and contributing meaningfully to our economy.

On this 75th anniversary, may we continue to uphold the values of freedom, democracy, and mutual respect that so many fought for.

Starting today, July 1, 2025, OC Animal Care will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for both Adoption Visits and Viewing Hours.

This expansion is part of a continued effort to increase community engagement in both
adoption and animal care.

Greater availability means more flexibility for community members to connect with adoptable pets and make thoughtful, lasting connections.

I appreciate the shelter staff who work hard daily to care for these animals, and we remain committed to supporting efforts that strengthen the connection between the shelter and the community it serves.

On Thursday, Office Ambassador Paulette Chaffee attended the grand opening of the newly renovated McFadden Playground.

The playground update features a beach and lifeguard theme that honors Orange County’s famous beaches and coastline. The new features bring the ocean to Placentia kids, with new equipment that showcases marine life, surfing, and lifeguarding.

I was glad to provide $500,000 of my Fourth District Discretionary Funds towards this project. Parks are a fundamental part of every community, providing a safe and fun way for children to play and learn.

Thank you to the City of Placentia for their work in completing this project and their continued investment in public parks.

My Senior Policy Advisor Jesus Gaona-Perez attended the City of Stanton’s annual State of the City.

This year, the City did things a little differently; they hosted it at Stanton Central Park and opened the event for all residents to be able to attend free of charge.  

Residents that attended had the opportunity to hear directly from the councilmembers about the various projects in Stanton such as the Safer Streets Program, a new badminton facility, and park projects. 

Thank you to the City of Stanton and everyone that attended!
