Fontana Park

Recreational Facilities

Situated in the heart of Fontana, California, Fontana Park spans 38 acres of recreational space. Since opening in 2008, this spacious park has become a local favorite with activities for many interests.

At the heart of the park is the 43,000-square-foot Jessie Turner Health and Fitness Community Center, which offers various health and wellness programs. Right next door, you'll discover the aquatics complex with inviting pools and splash zones that provide an excellent escape from California's summer heat. What's particularly nice about this water park? It's known for being exceptionally clean and welcoming to families with kids of all ages.

Sports and Adventure Areas

If you're into boarding or biking, you'll definitely want to check out the 25,000-square-foot skate and BMX park. If you're just starting out or have been riding for years, the varied terrain offers challenges that'll keep you coming back.

Kids have plenty to explore with the park's creative play spaces. There's a fascinating kinetic sculpture garden, a sunken ship playground (because who doesn't love pretending to be a pirate?), an interactive chess board for budding strategists, and a nature-themed playground. These play areas are generously sized with all the essentials - handlebars, slides, climbing equipment, and swings. When it's not too crowded, there's even room for kids to bike around the play zones.

For soccer enthusiasts, the park maintains a clean indoor soccer court along with outdoor fields that are excellent for pickup games or just practicing your footwork.

Natural Spaces and Community Areas

Throughout Fontana Park, you can find beautiful green spaces connected by landscaped promenades and walking paths. These serene areas provide a wonderful backdrop for a morning jog, an afternoon stroll, or simply sitting back and soaking in some nature.

The park's amphitheater regularly comes alive with community events and performances, bringing locals together. Dog owners will appreciate the designated dog park where four-legged friends can run free, plus miles of walking paths where you can take your pup for a leisurely on-leash walk.

Every Sunday, the park transforms with an open-air market - a great place to browse local goods and mingle with the community. If you're planning to make a day of it, you'll find several picnic areas within the grounds. Some people even bring portable grills for impromptu cookouts (though you might want to check if there are any restrictions before firing up your BBQ).

Accessibility and Amenities

One thing we really appreciate about Fontana Park is its commitment to inclusivity, with features designed to welcome visitors of all abilities.

You can find clean restroom facilities conveniently located across the park - always a plus when spending the day outdoors. There's also plenty of parking available, which makes it easy if you're coming with family or meeting up with a larger group.

Getting to the park is a breeze thanks to its location near major highways, making it accessible whether you live locally or are visiting from nearby areas.
