Civic Center Community Conservation Park

A Little Green Haven in the Heart of Ontario

Created in 2015 with funding from a State Park Grant, the Civic Center Community Conservation Park combines conservation, education, and demonstration within a compact 0.5-acre space right next to City Hall on B Street. Designed with interactive features and water conservation in mind, it packs plenty of character into a small footprint.

It's a cozy spot where you can catch your breath and have a quiet conversation away from the city buzz.

Eco-Friendly Features That Teach and Inspire

This little park contains several sustainable elements that are both functional and educational. The bioretention swale isn't just a pretty landscape feature; it actively manages stormwater runoff and helps improve water quality.

There's also a solar panel house and sun clock that show renewable energy in action and help you track the day's passage in a most natural way. The charming farm pump water feature adds a rustic touch while demonstrating old-school water collection. Just note that sometimes the water features and drinking fountains might be taking a break when you visit.

Play Areas That Spark Curiosity

Kids get their own glimpse of eco-education here too. The playground sports a rubberized surface for safer adventures, while the fossil dig area lets young paleontologists unearth treasures from the past. Perhaps most delightful is the kid-powered windmill - a hands-on way for children to connect with renewable energy concepts while they play and burn off energy of their own.
