As a longtime Santa Clarita resident, I have enjoyed watching our beautiful city transform over the years. In 1987, Santa Clarita was just 39 square miles—fast forward 37 years and we now span 73 square miles. We started with seven parks and now have 38. The new city had zero open space and we now boast over 13,000 acres with 100 miles of interconnecting trails and amenities that everyone can enjoy.
