Lime Street Park

Park Overview

Stretching across 14.8 acres in Hesperia, California, Lime Street Park is a central gathering place for locals. This recently renovated public space includes facilities for sports enthusiasts and families looking for a relaxing afternoon outdoors. The park provides space for both active recreation and laid-back gatherings, with enough room for everyone to spread out.

Sports Facilities

Baseball fans will appreciate the park's four baseball fields where Little League games regularly bring energy and excitement to the atmosphere. Just a heads-up though - you might encounter some gopher holes on certain fields, so watch your step while playing.

The newly resurfaced tennis courts have been updated to include lines for pickleball - a smart addition that reflects the sport's growing popularity. It's not uncommon to find the courts buzzing with pickleball players getting their game on.

On the east side, north of the skate plaza, you'll find a full basketball court, with an additional half-court available elsewhere for those quick pickup games. Skateboarders gravitate toward the skate plaza on the east side, but it's worth noting that the features tend to cater more to those with some experience under their belt rather than first-timers.

Aquatic Features

When temperatures rise, the park's swimming pool becomes a refreshing escape. The pool typically opens around May and operates seasonally with varying hours throughout the day. You'll discover dedicated times for open swimming and lessons to accommodate different needs. Keep in mind that certain flotation devices might not be allowed during regular swim sessions - better to check before bringing your favorite pool float.

Dog-Friendly Areas

Four-legged friends haven't been forgotten at Lime Street Park. The dedicated dog park is thoughtfully divided into two sections: one for small pups under 25 pounds and another for larger dogs. Each area comes equipped with watering stations, pet waste stations, and benches where you can relax while your dog plays. The space is generous, however the ground can be uneven in spots, and occasionally you might find that not every owner has been diligent about cleaning up after their pets.

Relaxation Spaces

If you're looking to unwind, you can find picnic areas scattered throughout the park, with tables that make for perfect lunch spots. Some areas include BBQ grills - ideal for cooking up something delicious during family gatherings. For larger get-togethers, there's a covered picnic shelter that provides some welcome shade.

Speaking of shade, while there are some trees offering respite from the sun, on particularly hot days you might find yourself wishing for more covered areas. Consider bringing a hat or umbrella during those peak summer visits.

Children's Area

The playground features two main structures that cater to different age groups - smaller equipment for the little ones and more adventurous slides for older children. Kids particularly enjoy the swings and the popular spinning wheel. The play area is kept clean and well-maintained, however it tends to get busy on weekends when families flock to the park.

Facilities and Amenities

Public restrooms are available near the playground and in other convenient locations around the park. They're generally accessible during park hours, but cleanliness can sometimes be hit or miss.

You won't have trouble finding a place to park, thanks to ample parking spaces - some even covered with solar panels for shade. If you're in need of a snack or cold drink, there's a small on-site store with refreshments and treats.

Fitness Opportunities

In the southwest corner of the park, you'll discover a fit trail interspersed with picnic tables and benches. It's excellent for those looking to incorporate some light exercise into their park visit while enjoying the surroundings.

Community Center

The Lime Street Park Community Center houses the district offices and offers rentable rooms that accommodate various events from weddings to seminars and anniversary celebrations. It's a resource that allows the park to function as both a recreational space and community meeting place.
