Citrus Park

Park Overview

Situated in Corona, Citrus Park spans a generous 20.01 acres of green space that welcomes everyone from morning joggers to weekend picnickers. True to its name, the park pays homage to Corona's deep roots in the citrus industry - a little nod to local history while you're out enjoying the sunshine.

What we notice immediately about Citrus Park is how tidy and well-kept everything is. There's plenty of open space to throw a frisbee, fly a kite, or simply spread out a blanket and enjoy the day. The thoughtful layout means you can find your own perfect spot whether you're looking for activity or tranquility.

Playgrounds

There are two distinct playground areas here - one designed with the little ones in mind and another that offers more challenges for older children. The equipment is in great shape, providing a safe environment where imaginations can run wild.

Just a heads-up: there isn't much shade covering the play areas, so they can get pretty toasty during summer afternoons. You might want to pack extra water and sunscreen if playground time is on your agenda.

Trails and Recreation

Feeling like a stroll or a light workout? The park's walking trails meander around the perimeter and through scenic areas, offering a pleasant path for your morning constitutional or evening wind-down. With gentle hills that add just enough variety, these paths are perfect whether you're walking, biking, or scooting along with the kids.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the well-maintained baseball field and soccer field. Weekends bring these areas to life with organized games ranging from football and soccer to cricket matches. If you're lucky, you might catch some food trucks during game days - nothing beats grabbing a quick bite while cheering from the sidelines.

Water Features

The splash pad is particularly popular during summer months. Open from June through September (starting at 10AM daily), this water play area becomes a hub of giggles and splashes when temperatures rise.

It's especially ideal for families with younger children who aren't ready for swimming pools but still want to cool off and have fun. A practical tip: the ground can get slippery, so water shoes are a smart idea to help prevent any tumbles.

Amenities

Scattered throughout the grounds are several picnic areas with tables where you can enjoy anything from a simple sandwich to an elaborate family feast. Mature trees provide welcome shade in some spots, and there's a covered pavilion you can reserve online if you're planning something special. Looking to grill? BBQ pits are available throughout the park for your cookout needs.

You can find multiple restroom facilities conveniently located across the park. They're typically clean, but it never hurts to bring hand sanitizer just in case supplies are running low.

Ample parking is available in multiple lots, but you might need to circle around a bit during weekend sports events or those peak summer days when everyone has the same great idea.

One of the most thoughtful aspects of Citrus Park is its commitment to accessibility. The ADA-compliant facilities ensure everyone can enjoy what the park has to offer. From the playground to parking areas and pathways, everything is designed to be handicap accessible. The park welcomes visitors daily from 7AM to 10:30PM.
