PRESS RELEASE
Heritage
Neighborhood Center named Center of the Quarter
Release Date: July 16, 2008
Fontana,
California, July 1, 2008. The Mayor and City Council award the Center of the Quarter to the Heritage
neighborhood Center located at 7350 W. Liberty Parkway. The grand opening of the 10,300 square foot neighborhood
center was celebrated by a crowd of 1500 people on Saturday, May 31.
The Heritage Neighborhood Center is located within the heart of the Village of Heritage neighborhood which is
conveniently situated west of Cherry Avenue between Baseline Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.
The neighborhood, the plans of which were adopted in 1985, has close to 3,500 single-family homes and nearly
100 town homes all of which decorate the winding roads and lush grasses found throughout the immediate area.
The existing amenities within the Village of Heritage are a definite draw for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle.
The area offers plenty of opportunities for cool dips in Heritage Pool, strolls along the wide sidewalks with
the local Steps Along the Way Healthy Fontana Walking Club, and mixed doubles on
the well kept tennis courts at McDermott Park Sports Complex. The only thing that has been missing is a functioning
neighborhood center to serve as a focal point where citizens may come together, enjoy quality fitness programs,
learn something new or improve their own lives.
Given the recreational and family atmosphere surrounding the Village of Heritage, the new programming at the
neighborhood center has been planned to reflect the lifestyles of the residents.
Program favorites such as Jazzercise, Tai Chi, and Olympic-Style
Judo are all a part of the Heritage neighborhood center class lineup. There are many more however
that are guaranteed to keep the kids, parents, and grandparents coming to the center almost daily.
One of these exciting new classes at the Heritage neighborhood center includes the Tech Zone programs
for all ages. Whether an adult needs additional training on the computer keyboard or a child is obviously curious
about the home computer, everyone will win with the Tech Zone. The Adult
Tech Zone introduces speed typing, Microsoft Word, Power Point, and more. The Kid/Teen
or Pee Wee Tech Zones each offer anyone ages 8-15 or 5-7 with appropriate introductions to programs,
speed typing (for the teen tech zone) and a basic introduction to computer hardware and components.
Science classes to include Mad Science System 5, Crazy Chemworks, and Academy
for Future Space Explorers are all available this summer for students in first and second grades.
The classes, which are eight weeks in duration, are held on Monday evenings for one hour and remind students
that summer and science can be enjoyed all at one time. Some of the fun experiments children will participate
in over their summer vacations include radical robots, lab techniques with demonstrations, or student activities
straight from the NASA Langley Research Center in Virginia.
The Heritage Neighborhood Center also offers personal programming to help involved parents give their children
direction without being overbearing.
Youth programming includes All About Me! a class for young ladies that will help
them to find and define their own inner and outer beauty; Mind your Manners etiquette
classes for children; Instilling Character and Building Self-Confidence in Kids; even
self-defense for girls is offered through Winning Edge Child Awareness Rapid Escape (W.E.C.A.R.E.);
Fight like a Girl (F.L.A.G.); and Girls on Guard (G.O.G.)
Adults and teens will also benefit from classes that cover credit cards, real-estate, and college preparation,
any of which will promote a sense of fiscal responsibility for those about to enter the world of finance.
