A Message From

Parks and Recreation

Instructor Showcase
Anette Monroe

Dear Neighbors,

Zumba Gold

The hustle and bustle of Summer has
passed and now is the time to FALL into fun
and transformation.

Anette Monroe teaches with great
joy and passion. She fell in love
with Zumba from the first time she
tried it because it took the “work”
out of the workout and made it
fun. Zumba incorporates rhythms
from all over the world and you are able to dance your way
to a healthier, fit life through the joys of music.

Park improvements at one
of the City’s oldest and
most utilized facilities,
Crown Valley Community
Park, began in June and
will continue over the next several years.
This is an exciting time for residents
and staff.
Phase 1 improvements will begin in
September and include remodeling of the
amphitheater and installation of an upper
park level public restroom facility. The
existing playground will be replaced with
multisensory play equipment, including
installation of a new splash pad. This project
is scheduled to be completed in May 2015.
Future projects include a new park entry
and a state of the art community center.
All Parks and Recreation, Aquatics and
YMCA programs and events will continue
to be offered, however we do expect minor
interruption to some services,
including playground use. We encourage
you to allow extra time for parking, and
to please use caution when accessing
activities in the construction zone. Staff will
receive project status updates throughout
the construction process and should be
able to answer any questions you may have.
If you would like to see what’s to come,
stop by the Parks and Recreation office at
29751 Crown Valley Parkway.
We appreciate your patience and patronage
during this exciting transformation
process. We can’t wait to share the new and
improved Crown Valley Park with you!
Regards,
Laguna Niguel Parks and Recreation

being a personal trainer. Anette has always enjoyed being
physically active and has significant experience in teaching
a variety of fitness classes. The rewards you get, from being
a teacher are incredible, including helping someone lose
weight, get stronger, rehabilitate from surgery/injury, train
for new ventures and do things they never thought they
could do. Even more than that, it bonds you with people
during the process. The rewards she gets from being a
teacher are incredible. She is passionate about trying to get
people to love to work out because we should all achieve
maximum wellness and be healthy in mind, body and soul.
