Newberry Memorial Park

Park Overview

Situated on West Hill Drive in San Bernardino, Newberry Memorial Park is a cozy 1.53-acre green space that acts as a neighborhood retreat. This small but charming park sits right in the heart of a residential area, making it a great spot for locals to stretch their legs or simply enjoy some fresh air. Though it won't wow you with size, there's something genuinely pleasant about this peaceful little community hub.

Amenities

Despite its compact footprint, Newberry Memorial Park comes with the essentials. Kids can burn off energy at the playground area with its cushioning wood chips - fantastic for those inevitable tumbles. Several benches dot the park, ideal for parents keeping an eye on little ones or anyone wanting to sit back with a good book.

Fancy a picnic? The park's picnic tables make for a nice spot to enjoy lunch or host a small family gathering. Just a heads-up: there are no restrooms here, so you might want to plan accordingly, especially if you're bringing children along.

Open Space

The park features a welcoming open grassy area where four-legged friends can romp and kids can play tag or toss a ball around. This simple open space is actually what draws many neighborhood families and pet owners to the park. If you're looking for a quieter visit, mornings tend to be more peaceful - the park typically gets busier around 4 PM when the after-school and after-work crowds arrive.

Geological Significance

Here's something you might not expect: Newberry Memorial Park actually sits right on the San Andreas Fault. It's part of a string of green spaces that follow this famous geological feature. While this interesting fact doesn't affect your everyday park experience, it does add a unique bit of natural history to your visit.
