Holiday Fire Safety Tips The year-end holiday season – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year’s – is a prime time for residential fires.

Decorative lights, candles, and the onset of the heating season, all increase the likelihood of a fire.

Candles - Instead of using candles in jack-o-lanterns, try battery operated tea candles. Never burn candles near a Christmas tree. Keep candles away from curtains and other combustibles. Don’t leave candles burning unattended or within the reach of small children.

Holiday Lights - Throw away any set of lights that has cracked or frayed cords, or loose or damaged sockets. Do not overload electrical outlets or run extension cords under carpets, across doorways, or near heaters.

Never use electrical lights on a metal Christmas tree.

Fireplaces - Have chimneys inspected by a professional at least once a year and have it cleaned if necessary. Use a fire screen, and burn only materials appropriate for fireplaces – never burn trash or paper in a fireplace.

For more information on the topics listed above, please contact the Montclair Fire Department at (909) 447-3540.

Reeder Ranch Recreation Center

Park Projects Opening in Fall 2024 New Park Development: Reeder Ranch Park

community programs

The development of Reeder Ranch Park is a significant investment in our community. The park will provide a beautiful and accessible space for residents to enjoy nature, recreation, and social gatherings. In addition, we envision the park as a hub for community events and a place where families can gather to make memories.

This project has been a long time in the making, and we are proud to have worked with the community to design a park that meets the needs of our residents, and we are excited to see the positive impact it will have on our community.

The park will include a 2,500 square-foot recreational building with an indoor/outdoor stage, a natural playground with shades, walking trails, fitness stations, drinking fountains, bike racks, LED lighting, solar panels, picnic tables with shade structures, as well as benches and a companion seating area, which will be arranged around the playground and barbeque area; public art, parking lot, office space, storage and landscaping throughout the park.

This exciting new project would not have been possible without a $5.1 million grant from the California Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program. The estimated construction cost is $6.5 million, and the remaining cost of the park improvement will use 2021 Lease Revenue Bond Proceeds. The Reeder Ranch Park Grand Opening is expected late Fall 2024.

Sunset Park Beautification Project

SITE PLAN OVERVIEW

ORCHARD STREET

The Sunset Park Beautification project is being designed to provide various new and rehabilitated existing park amenity areas. These park amenities include the construction of a concrete lighted walking trail along the perimeter of the park and interconnected pathways, an outside theater area near the north parking lot with a playground area in close proximity, refurbished community fruit park, new automated self-cleaning bathrooms near playgrounds, drinking fountains, benches, several exercise stations, and fun river and creek themed south playground area for the kids with adjacent aesthetically unique covered picnic bench clusters where parents can comfortably watch their children play activities. These improvements are intended to enhance the entirety of the park and provide a special recreational experience.

NORTH

In addition to the wonderful new and enhanced park amenities, the park will serve as the pilot leg for the future build-out of San Antonio Creek Trail which was planned with funds from the 2019 Caltrans Sustainable Community Planning Grant. The Sunset Park trail segment will be lighted with security features and will include interesting pavement art and artistic fence features to add to the recreational interest for people enjoying a safe creek walk, run, or a bicycle ride.

Funding for these community requested improvements comes from California Park & Recreation Grants, Clean California Grant, and the City’s local bond money. Construction of the park improvements began in October 2023 and is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2024.
