Corona City Council plans new 10-12 pickleball courts at El Cerrito Park

The Planning and Housing Commission meeting held on May 28, 2025, in Corona, Riverside County, focused on several key topics related to local infrastructure and community facilities. The meeting began with discussions surrounding the status of the pickleball courts at Border Park. It was confirmed that while these courts are currently in use, there are plans to decommission them in favor of developing new courts at El Cerrito Park. The new facility is expected to feature 10 to 12 courts and will be located off the I-15 freeway. El Cerrito Park is a county park leased to the city, allowing Corona to operate and maintain it.

Another significant topic addressed was the design and construction of a median along Hidden Valley Parkway. The current median ends at the city limit with Norco, and the city plans to collaborate with Norco on this project. The goal is to extend the median down to Garland Way, enhancing safety and potentially reducing vehicle speeds in the area. The design phase is set to begin in the next fiscal year, with hopes for shared funding between the two cities.

Following these discussions, the commission moved to a formal vote on the fiscal year 2026 capital improvement program. Commissioner Woody made a motion to adopt resolution number 2668, affirming that the program aligns with the city’s general plan goals. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Seagland and passed unanimously.

The meeting concluded with a transition to public hearings, indicating ongoing efforts to engage the community in planning and development initiatives. Overall, the discussions highlighted the commission's commitment to enhancing local recreational facilities and improving roadway safety in Corona.
