This park located in the eastern part of Corona not too far from McKinley has been closed for a…read morevery long time but is now partially renovated and open for all to use. It is perched on top of a small, picturesque, rocky knoll, with a view that is stellar and invigorating, as long as you choose to ignore the insanity of the 91 freeway down below. Once you arrive at the top, it is quite peaceful and quiet. This park is still in its early infancy of re-opening, the City of Corona having just celebrated the re-opening in late August 2021.
It is a wonderful little getaway within the community, a place to wind down, enjoy a jog, hike, or just park and watch the sunset. There are a few picnic tables and a little, grassy dog park, fully enclosed and separated into two sections, one for small dogs, another for large dogs. You will find substantial parking areas as you drive up to the top. To reach the dog park, park at the top. You must be willing to walk a bit further, but on a well paved path. For handicapped, the path is wheelchair friendly. There are also railings along the path from the parking lot to the dog park.
There is no shade at this time, the trees are too young. The cement picnic tables are exposed to the elements (no shade covering), but are quite sturdy. Landscaping is obviously unfinished and I did not observe any restroom facilities or water fountains for dogs or humans.
The gates are closed at sunset, at which time you will be reminded by park employees to move your car. But if you decide to park on the street below, i.e. Griffin Way, and hike up the hill (pant-pant-cough-cough), there are no restrictions to when you must leave. There is limited lighting, mostly around the picnic area and dog park.
This is a nice little addition to our community, well maintained, and welcomed enthusiastically.
