City Park

A Park with History

Right next to E 6th Street in Corona, City Park has served the community since 1913. As the oldest park in town, this 20.54-acre space has watched over generations of Corona families for more than a century. As a living piece of local history, it continues to evolve with the community around it.

In recent years, the park has been getting some well-deserved attention as part of the downtown revitalization initiative, breathing new life into this historic community space.

What You'll Find There

City Park offers a variety of amenities for different interests. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the basketball courts and soccer fields, while skaters flock to the popular skate park complete with a halfpipe that's excellent for showing off tricks or learning new ones.

If you're planning a family day out, you'll appreciate the playground equipment where kids can burn off energy and the scattered picnic areas that make for perfect lunch spots. When summer temperatures soar, the aquatic center with its swimming pool offers a welcome respite from the heat.

You'll also find volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, and a dedicated stage area that hosts community performances throughout the year. You'll also find practical amenities like drinking water stations and shelters across the grounds.

Natural Surroundings

One of the nicest things about City Park is its abundance of mature trees that cast cool shadows across the grounds. These leafy giants create natural oases of shade, making even hot afternoons enjoyable.

The expansive grassy areas invite impromptu games of frisbee, picnics, or just stretching out with a good book. Keep an eye out for the resident squirrels that dart between trees - they're unofficial park mascots of sorts.

Community Gatherings

City Park really comes alive during its many community events. The Cinco de Mayo festival transforms the space with music, food, and celebration, while the Day of the Child brings families together with activities, vendors, and community resources.

The open design and central stage make this park particularly well-suited for these gatherings, making it a place where the city comes together to celebrate.

Looking Ahead

The future looks bright for City Park. Corona has developed a comprehensive master plan aimed at making the space even more welcoming and vibrant for everyone who visits.

The ongoing revitalization efforts include plans to enhance existing features and create new spaces specifically designed for community events, concerts, and festivals. The goal is to enhance City Park as a gathering place that honors its historical roots while meeting the needs of today's community.
