About La Plaza Park
A Historic Space in San Bernardino
Tucked away on Mt. Vernon Avenue, La Plaza Park is a charming 2.04-acre green oasis in the heart of San Bernardino. Since its establishment in 1945, this little urban retreat connects to the area's rich Mexican Heritage and has become an important community space over the decades.
Play and Gather
While compact, the park packs in plenty of appeal with its cozy playground where local kids can burn off energy and make memories. Need a spot for your community meetup or family gathering? The park's assembly area features a lovely gazebo that provides welcome shade on those classic California sunny days. This versatile space hosts everything from car shows to family celebrations and small business fairs.

Deep Cultural Roots
