City of San Pablo ACTIVITY GUIDE - COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT JANUARY 2020-APRIL 2020
DIRECTOR MESSAGE & CONTACTS
Hopefully you and your family had a Happy Holiday Season and a great 2019 year. The start of a new
year brings renewed optimism to start the year off on a positive note. It’s also a time to reflect upon the
past year. Regardless of which direction you are looking, one thing is for sure, the programs and services
offered through our Community Services Department are bound to get you and your family headed in a
good direction for 2020.

Here in San Pablo we just completed a series of citywide events and we return from the holiday break
with programs and services in full swing. Our Community Services Department is constantly striving to
improve our services in an effort to better serve our community. Please review and familiarize yourself
with this Activity Guide and see what types of services and programs we have available for you and your
family members.

Have you heard that our City Hall offices are moving? After over 40 years at its current location, a new
City Hall is being constructed at Plaza San Pablo. So while our new office will be just a few blocks away,
we will be saying goodbye to our existing facilities and amenities with a projected move to the new City
Hall in early 2020, so please be patient with us during the transitional time and be sure to stop by and say
hello. Happy New Year to you and your family and hope to see you soon.

                                                           Sincerely,

                                                    Greg Dwyer
