Residents ranging in age from 3 to 103 are enjoying activities at Steinmetz Park in Hacienda Heights. The senior center has always been a hub for seniors in the area. Just last Thursday, the center had a large health fair for senior residents of the area.

Now the Los Angeles County Park is reaching out to tiny tots and teens as it expands its programs.
