Central City Park

A Fresh Community Hub

Situated in Fontana, California, Central City Park is a 14.5-acre recreational space that opened in May 2021. This modern space has quickly become a go-to spot for locals seeking outdoor fun, especially those with young athletes in the family.

Fields of Dreams

The park has three synthetic turf fields that are excellent for local sports enthusiasts. Two of these fields welcome both soccer and football players, while one is dedicated solely to soccer aficionados. What's particularly cool is that they're all equipped with lighting - meant for those evening games when the California sun has called it a day.

These turf surfaces offer a consistent playing experience whether you're part of an organized league or just showing up for a casual kickaround. Stretching the width of two football fields, there's plenty of room to run, play, and practice your skills without feeling cramped.

Beyond the Ball Games

Not really into team sports? No worries. Central City Park has thoughtfully included an ADA accessible playground where kids of all abilities can climb, slide, and play to their heart's content.

For those with green thumbs, the 0.75-acre community garden is a little slice of agricultural heaven. Garden plot holders typically swing by twice a week to tend to their growing goodies - a therapeutic escape from the digital world.

And if you're looking to channel your inner cowboy, the horseshoe pits offer a nostalgic nod to traditional outdoor games that still bring plenty of competitive fun.

Get Moving

The park features pleasant walkways that wind across the grounds, well-suited for a morning stroll or an evening constitutional. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate that Central City connects to the Pacific Electric Trail, making it an ideal rest stop or starting point for longer adventures on foot or by bike.

For those who prefer more structured workouts, the well-maintained gym area attracts daily visitors looking to stay fit and active in the fresh air.

Thoughtful Design

With 340 parking stalls spread across large lots, finding a spot for your vehicle is rarely a headache - even during busy weekend tournaments.

The architects clearly put some thought into creating a cohesive aesthetic around the park. The clean restrooms, concession stand, and storage facilities all share a complementary design that gives the park a unified, intentional feel.

On those scorching Southern California days, you'll definitely appreciate the water fountains and cooling station that offer much-needed relief from the heat.

Gather & Relax

While not abundant, the picnic tables scattered around the park provide shaded retreats where you can refuel or simply take a breather between activities.

Central City Park offers a mix of sports facilities and leisure spaces where many Fontana residents come to enjoy outdoor activities.
