Playhouse Village Park Groundbreaking 


Name the park, thecity is now acceptingrecommendations for the 
park’s official name.

 Using the temporary name 
“Playhouse Village Park” city 
officials including Pasadena 
Mayor Victor Gordo broke 
ground Thursday morning on 
the site of the newest city park 
to be located at Union Street 
and El Molino Ave. 

“The 0.67 acre Playhouse 
Village park will open in Spring 
2022,” Grodo said. 

 According to city officials, 
construction for the park, 
located at 701 East Union 
Street, will start next week. The 
current city parking lot will be 
closed and work is set to be 
done weekdays starting at 7 
a.m.. City officials also said thatplans in place will minimize 
construction traffic, dust and 
noise.

 According to a staff report last 
year, “The preparation of the 
project site for construction of 
the proposed park requires the 
demolition of the former Banner 
Bank building and its parking 
lot. The scope of work for this 
contract includes demolition 
of the existing two-story, 
5,538-square-foot building and 
foundations; removal of site 

paving, curbs, and vegetation; 
backfill and rough site grading; 
as well as disconnecting and 
capping utilities. No new 
construction will be part of this 
contract scope.”

 The new park will include, 
a parking lot with 48 spaces, 
children’s play area, gender 
neutral restroom, a separated 
dog run, and a community 
gathering space.

 Last year, the city council 
appropriated $4.6 million for 
construction of the park. 
Now through, August 20, the city 
is accepting recommendations 
for the park’s official name. 
From these recommendations, 
city staff will compile a list of 
names that meet at least one of 
the four criteria listed below. 
From Monday, September 6 
through Friday, September 17, 
a second survey will be posted 
asking the community to review 
the names and vote for their 
preferred choice.

 Votes will be tallied and 
presented to the Recreation 
and Parks Commission for 
discussion and, subsequently, 
a recommendation of the 
park’s official name will be 
presented to city council for its 
consideration. 
The criteria are as follows: 
-Geographical location of thepark of facility; 
-Natural or geological features

Hubble’s realization of the 
expanding universe, led George 
Ellery Hale to discover the sun’s 
magnetic field and provided the 
basis for theories of how stars 
and galaxies form.

Kit Whitten, librarian and 
archivist at the Hale Library,

Kenwood observatories. The 
archives also include a collection 
of photographic prints of deep 
space, historical photographs 
of the Carnegie Observatories,

Kenwood, and engineering 
drawings and blueprints

Five Acres Announces 
33rd Annual Golf Classic 


Event to be held 
September 20 atAnnandale Golf Club

 Five Acres announces 
its Don’t Stop Believin’ 
33rd Annual Golf Classic 
led by Co-chairs Danny 
Reaume and Joey Reaume 
(pictured). The ‘80s themed 
golf tournament and dining 
event, will take place at the 
Annandale Golf Club in 
Pasadena on September 20.

 Brothers Danny Reaume, 
senior vice president at 
Jones Lang LaSalle, and Joey 
Reaume, first vice president 
at Colliers International, 
have been officially part 
of the Five Acres Golf 
committee for more than 
five years and third year 
as co-chairs but have been 
a part of Five Acres and 
the golf tournament for 
many years prior. This 
event is a family affair for 
the Reaumes, who were 
introduced by their father, 
Brad Reaume, executive 
vice president of Bolton & 
Company, the title sponsor 
of the golf classic, as well as 
former Tournament Chair 
and current committee 
member.

 An ode to iconic rock band, 
Journey, the golf committee 
purposefully chose their 
signature song, “Don’t 
Stop Believin’.” Its lyrics are 
words of encouragement 
that Journey keyboardist 
Jonathan Cain’s father told 
him while struggling to 
make it in Hollywood. The 
title and refrain of the song 
are also encouraging words 
for what many children, 
families and individuals 
have experienced during the 
pandemic.

 “We are thrilled to 
celebrate with our Five 
Acres family and friends 
at this much-anticipated 
event with Danny and Joey 
leading the tee off,” said Five 
Acres Chief Advancement 
Officer Jennifer Berger, 
who acknowledges that the 
theme has been a mantra 
for the team. “We’re also 
thankful for our sponsors 
and underwriters who have 
continued to support us after 
what has been extraordinary 
times. They have been a 

testament to our Don’t Stop 
Believin’ mantra.”

 Since its origins, the Five 
Acres Golf Classic has raised 
more than $4 million in 
critical funds supporting 
foster care, adoption and 
mental health services for 
kids and families in crisis in 
Los Angeles.

 Both the tournament and 
the evening event will be 
held outside. Guests can 
be assured that Five Acres 
and Annandale Golf Club 
will follow all public health 
guidelines associated with 
operating a golf tournament 
and dining event. The event’s 
program includes a round 
of golf for day participants 
followed in the evening with 
an awards ceremony, live 
‘80s band, tasty libations, a 
gourmet feast, and auction. 
Guests are encouraged to 
come in their best ‘80s attire 
as the golf committee turns 
back the clock at this event. 

This year’s golf committee 
members include Joey 
Angiuli, Jennifer Berger, 
John Berger, Jason Berns, 
Kevin Botsford, Travis 
Buhl, Anthony Cannizzo, 
Brian Dennis, Ryan 
Dietz, Bill Hayden, Chris 
Hoshek, Brandon Ito, Craig 
Missakian, Rustin Mork, 
Nick Mosaquites, Will Nash, 
Guillermo Olaiz, Lance 
Polverini, Brad Reaume, 
Bob Rodger, Craig Stewart, 
Scott Street, and J.J. Tebo.

 Sponsorships range from 
$20,000 to $500. Dinner 
tickets are $150. To sponsor, 
underwrite or attend this 
event, visit 5acres.org.

 Since 1888, Five Acres 
has protected the most 
vulnerable members of 
our community: children. 
Serving more than 9,000 
children and family 
members annually across 
six counties, Five Acres now 
strives for permanency—a 
permanent, loving home—
for all children in their care. 
The three pillars of safety, 
well-being and permanency 
provide the framework for 
its programs and guide the 
steps as the agency develops 
even more effective means 
of caring for children and 
families in crisis.
