Pinecrest


Pinecrest:
Nature and Community

Pinecrest, established as a residential area in the 1950s and incorporated in 1996, is known for its emphasis on natural beauty and community involvement.

The area first gained attention with the Parrot Jungle attraction in the 1930s, marking it as a gathering place for nature enthusiasts. Pinecrest Gardens, a botanical park on the original Parrot Jungle site, continues that legacy today. With a strong focus on sustainability and green spaces, Pinecrest remains a peaceful, family-friendly environment.

Commissioner Raquel Regalado’s unwavering dedication to Pinecrest is a testament to her understanding of the village’s commitment to natural beauty and family-oriented values. Her tireless efforts to preserve green spaces and enhance community amenities, from reopening sports fields at Chapman Field Park to launching programs that foster sustainability, such as the composting initiative, demonstrate her personal investment in the community’s well-being. 

Regalado’s close collaboration with Pinecrest leaders and residents further underscores her hands-on approach and genuine care for the village. She remains focused on initiatives that protect Pinecrest’s cherished landscapes and support residents of all ages, building a stronger, greener future for the village.
