The Rocklin City Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on December 11, 2024, highlighted several community events and updates regarding local park activities.

One of the key discussions centered around the annual holiday tree installation. The tree has grown an additional six feet this year, reaching a total height of 34 feet, with plans for it to eventually reach 40 feet. The park maintenance crew was commended for their efforts in managing the installation and anchoring of the tree, which requires adjustments each year as it grows.

The meeting also featured updates on upcoming community events. The "Breakfast with Santa," organized in partnership with Scout Troop 29, has sold out, indicating strong community interest. This event, along with the tree lighting and the Rocklin Firefighter Santa tours, aims to ensure that families in Rocklin have the opportunity to celebrate the holiday season with Santa.

Additionally, a private event is scheduled for December 31, 2024, at Johnson Spring View Park, where the Roseville Chabad will host a fireworks display to mark the 8th day of Hanukkah. The city has permitted this event, and it will be communicated through city channels to inform residents about the fireworks.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to fostering community spirit through festive events and highlighted the ongoing efforts of the park maintenance team in enhancing local parks.
