Our contributor Carissa is always on the lookout for fun parks in the Inland Empire. She found a great one and shares all about it!
Each year as summer arrives I find myself on the hunt for new parks and places to explore. Last summer we stumbled across a great park, just down the road. This park is a hit with all ages as they have a little bit of everything. There are 3 baseball fields, 2 basketball courts, several soccer fields, 2 playgrounds (one for big kids and one for the little ones), a fun water area, and lots of picnic tables with shade.
If you prefer to stay at home, the has jackpot games, slot games and top card games available 24/7 that will make you have a lot of fun while playing.
The water area isn’t big, but kids seem to enjoy the umbrella-type fountains and spontaneous pop-up fountains! The playgrounds are wonderful and are filled with hidden picnic tables, a variety of obstacles to climb, and all sorts of slides. My daughter’s favorite are the chair-like swings and I think they might be my favorite too as they are so comfortable to sit in and swing in together!
This has quickly become one of our favorite parks and we love that it is just down the street! There’s a 1-mile dirt trail that’s great for a family walk, clean bathrooms, and plenty of space for everyone!

Neat! I wonder if there is a bus line nearby? A group of momma friends like to take trains to new places with the kiddos. We haven’t done the bus as a group but would be fun. I’ll have to investigate, thanks!
