ON THE SCENE AT SHADELANDS | | Flashing beacons have been installed on Shadelands Drive between Viamonte Walnut Creek and Walnut Creek Executive Park, and on Mitchell Drive between Shadelands Post-Acute and Contra Costa School of Performing Arts. Activated by pedestrians, flashing beacons are safety features that alert drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. | | YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS; WE'VE GOT ANSWERS | | | A Personal Shopper for Your Brand | In 1989, two friends purchased a small screenprinting shop in San Diego with a mission to provide memorable customer experiences. Fast forward 36 years and that small shop, Custom Logos, is now a premier international supplier of branded merchandise, imprinted sportswear, promotional products, and commercial printing with a staff of more than 85 in graphic design, production, warehousing, packaging, and shipping services, and two national sales offices, one in Idaho and one right here, in Shadelands. | |
Allure Rejuvenation Center—
At the Intersection of Art, Science & Medicine
| “Aging is what changes the way we look," said Sheri Golden, a certified aesthetic physician assistant (PA-C) and the owner of Allure Rejuvenation Center, a professional medical practice in Shadelands that offers treatments aimed at enhancing and improving a person's physical appearance — face, skin, and body — through non-surgical, minimally invasive medical methods. "I hear people say, ‘I don’t want to look tired all the time.’ ‘I want to look refreshed and rejuvenated.’ ‘I just don’t like these wrinkles.’ So if we can refresh and hold onto that youthful glow and healthier weight a little bit longer, we feel better — and we feel more confident in our work, and in our play, and in our relationships." |
| Where Learning Happens Through Play | "A child's brain develops quickly during the first five years, and play is actually learning for a child," said Erin Magallanes, co-owner of My Lileigh Pad sensory, art, and play studio, which opened in Shadelands in February 2025. "It is through undirected play that babies, toddlers, and young children engage and interact in the world around them. We believe in the power of sensory play-based learning to nurture curiosity, creativity, social, and emotional growth in children. And that's what we do at My Lileigh Pad. We offer busy, inquisitive toddlers the experience of hands-on sensory art and play, without an agenda." | |
