Javi Luna, CIP Manager and Assistant City Engineer, outlined 19 projects identified for FY 2026. He said staff requested roughly $3.6 million in new funding for next fiscal year, which Luna presented as part of a total parks CIP budget of about $24.3 million for FY 2026. New project requests highlighted by staff included landscape enhancements in Zone 20, slope-repair design for Montana Ranch, proposed construction of 10–12 pickleball courts at El Cerrito Park (presented as “a little over a million dollars” for that project), River Road Park improvements (about $550,000 requested) and Skyline Trail amenities and a phase-two restroom/trailhead package (about $470,000 requested).

Luna and commissioners also discussed carryover projects in design or construction, including Auburndale pool/amenity work, City Park revitalization (60 percent design complete), Sheridan Park restroom replacement (going to council for award) and the Victoria Park splash pad. Moses Cortez, Parks and Trails staff, described recent construction milestones at Victoria Park and said the project passed an early county health inspection: “We passed. We are moving right along... we anticipate being on schedule to be completed in August.” Luna cautioned that the Skyline Trail Access Bridge design quotes came in well over budget and staff would revisit scope and options.

Formal actions recorded at the meeting were procedural approvals. Commissioner Munoz moved to approve the Parks and Recreation Commission minutes from April 8, 2025; Commissioner McBride seconded and the motion passed 4–0. The consent calendar, which included an item on developer impact fee fund balance and bond repayment for March 2025, was moved by Commissioner McBride, seconded by Commissioner Boggs, and approved 4–0.

Commissioners asked questions about where pickleball courts would be sited, the ADA status of restrooms being replaced and coordination between repaving and bike-facility installations; staff said repaving and striping work is coordinated with the Public Works repaving schedule and that some older restroom buildings were replaced because retrofitting was not cost-effective.

Staff said several projects are planned to go to City Council for approvals and bids in late 2025 and early 2026 and will return to the commission with project updates and designs as they progress.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting - 5/13/25","oneSentenceSummary","CIP manager Javi Luna presented 19 parks and open-space capital projects for FY 2026 including new landscaping, pickleball courts, Skyline Trail amenities and a river road park request.

The presenter, Mr. Sanabria (Public Works staff), said the city received a grant from the Transportation Development Act — described in the presentation as a funding component for bicycle and pedestrian facilities — and that with local matching funds the project value is about $400,000. Sanabria said the project will update bicycle facility design standards, prepare a prioritized project list and recommend policies on e-bikes and micromobility.

Sanabria and commissioners emphasized safety as a driver for an e-bike policy. Sanabria said electric bicycles vary in power and speed and can raise safety concerns near pedestrians and mobility-impaired users; the policy work will consider on- and off-road rules and how bicycle facilities and micromobility devices intersect. “The concern is safety,” he said, noting differential speeds and the need for orderly use.

Public engagement informed the update: Sanabria said staff held in-person outreach events and ran an online map and survey that received more than 600 responses. Common community requests included more separated (Class I) bike paths, improved lighting, wayfinding, bike repair stations, intersection safety improvements and better connections to trails, parks, schools and Metrolink stations.

The plan will also include guidance on bike parking, lockers and long-term storage and consider whether to support a bike-share program. Sanabria said policies will reflect recent changes to design guidance in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the Highway Design Manual, including new facility types such as protected bike lanes (cycle tracks).

The timeline presented calls for a draft plan around summer 2025 and a final plan to City Council in late summer or fall 2025. Commissioners asked about coordination with street repaving and school districts; Sanabria said Public Works coordinates paving and striping so bike facilities are considered during repaving and that outreach has included school district transportation staff.

No formal action was taken; staff will continue public and interagency outreach and return with the draft plan.","Public Works staff outlined a Bicycle Master Plan update funded by a Transportation Development Act grant and local match, reported >600 survey responses, and described proposed policies for e-bikes, micromobility, parking and connectivity.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6557571,"City of Corona highlights senior center reopening, new adaptive programs and summer events",850,11000,861000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3289867-1ed2243fa1c9361533e43f0acd4fcea7&start=11&end=861","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3289867-1ed2243fa1c9361533e43f0acd4fcea7/thumbnail_11000.jpg","/articles/6557571/Corona-City/Riverside-County/California/City-of-Corona-highlights-senior-center-reopening-new-adaptive-programs-and-summer-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557571-57892200eb201bca816bff723dd56fe6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443049&Signature=RoCAX8eyc3zjDKDYOjA2t9eezASluEfzd3-p0lvq-8FEXt3sCVrYej0eQlXHSlAHSRlvyEBjFUlnvuf3KKGvi3Md4o~uqKoUKGh~-B21P0KIxuZdG3okTDB66UNoycX80tVDq8aZ19zn8KJe7QviYQnIBLA~~2BK7SwaRIL0uZkMNdcTlV5nPVeJQsuKHuuwoEL2BJOPcxBQIu3kMihg~ioRNlL2ZvJUh9OO4K-RQ8zvctGJIFqrkjzPu4regcOeOp3sRjYCKCCWCZT6bzyTbieFd~1lhZjNTmHPmlQr3e0qwm62~q4SyRtHU3hEtoeBzddVJRE6vBx~IAJfzKtbAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Corona Parks and Recreation Commission on May 20 received a series of updates on recreation programming, including the grand reopening of the senior center, expanded adaptive services and a new signature Music & Arts Festival that the staff said drew about 5,000 attendees.

Commissioners heard that the reopened senior center features an expanded patio and a new bocce ball court and that staff plan a slate of summer activities for children and older adults. Sadie Cowden, Recreation Supervisor, summarized the calendar of upcoming events, including summer camps (full-day care 7 a.m.–6 p.m. for ages 5–12), Movies in the Park rotation, and the summer street fair beginning July 10. “This year, we're really excited,” Cowden said, listing themes such as X Games and Jurassic Jamboree for weekly camp sessions.

The nut of the update was audience and program expansion: staff described new adaptive offerings — the Adaptive Academy (life skills and community involvement classes, taught in partnership with Romeo and Friends), Fitness Fridays and Friendship Fridays — intended to broaden access for residents with disabilities. Cowden said the adaptive program will teach basic cooking, hygiene and household skills and include regular social events.

The commission also heard a report on volunteer programs that help maintain parks. Moses Cortez, Parks and Trails staff, said the department now has eight community groups participating in the adopt-a-park program and about 20 park ambassadors who complete training and report maintenance and safety issues. “We actually have 20 park ambassadors at our parks,” Cortez said, describing the volunteers as an “extra set of eyes and ears.” He added that midseason field aeration and fertilization were completed and that the Victoria Park splash pad passed its first county Department of Public Health inspection and remains on schedule for an August completion: “We anticipate being on schedule to be completed in August.”

The Music & Arts Festival, presented as a new signature event in April, included two bands, more than 50 artisan vendors and 19 food vendors, staff said; Cowden reported “approximately 5,000 attendees.” Commissioners and staff described the event as a strong inaugural turnout and noted that a beer-and-wine garden and community art show were part of the program.

Public comment included a short statement from Jacqueline Wilson, who identified herself as a senior community service leader and described the senior center’s social role: “This center creates a family atmosphere... The first thing that you feel once you enter these doors is just people smiling at you,” she said.

Commissioners asked about registration demand for summer camps and about the kinds of activities in adaptive fitness programming; staff described demand spikes around registration openings and said sports vary month to month, including basketball and soccer. Commissioners also praised volunteer coordination and recommended outreach to teens for safety training tied to the bicycle and trails programs.

The commission’s presentation concluded with reminders: staff will present an on-demand reservation system to City Council on May 21 and the commission will receive a skyline plan briefing in June.

Short-term operational details noted by staff include the senior center mother’s day tea moved to May 15, Relay for Life on May 16 and the Chamber of Commerce Memorial Mile on May 24. Staff also highlighted recent ribbon cuttings and awards, including recognition for the trails master plan.

The commission adjourned after the reports; no formal action on programming was taken at this meeting.","The Parks and Recreation Commission received an update on senior center renovations and programming, new adaptive recreation classes, the inaugural Music & Arts Festival that drew about 5,000 attendees, volunteer park-adoption growth and upcoming summer events.","actionData","errors"]
