“All year round, Westfield Plaza Bonita is proud to work with the City of National City and its partners to meet the needs of our community,” says General Manager of Westfield Plaza Bonita, Jessica O’Brien. “We aim to be a safe and healthy haven for local residents and our shoppers, and during this upcoming heat wave, are happy to serve the community as a designated Cool Zone.”
