Mayor's Welcome

Representative Lou Correa delivered a $1 Million check to the City of Garden Grove's Community Services Department for park improvements. The funds will help the City provide improvements to three parks. The check was presented in the Jardin de los Niños Park in the Buena Clinton neighborhood in Garden Grove. GGTV3 Reporter Breanna Greenup has the story.

When things get difficult, a certain group runs toward the problem trying to find out how they can help. These are the people and organizations honored at the Garden Grove Strong Hero Reception. 40 heroes were nominated for things they did during the COVID pandemic. They were brought together at the Garden Grove Community Meeting Center to review their contributions, celebrate their generosity and of course to eat and take a few photos with the Mayor and City Council. GGTV3 Reporter Breanna Greenup has the story.

The City of Garden Grove is full of fun and exciting things to do and see. We also care about the health of our residents and students. Recently Misha and Nellie, the Garden Grove Police Department's Canine Support Dogs were introduced to a packed house at Mitchell Elementary School. Don't miss this! Plus, the City once again closed streets to cars and held a big party downtown. Residents, businesses and visitors were able to get a glimpse into the future and see how Garden Grove could evolve over time. And, the Strawberry Festival is back!

The celebration will include a special reading, a ribbon cutting, lawn games and sidewalk chalk, a chance to get to know neighbors, and snacks.
