Highlights included the July 4 parade and festival (93 parade entries, about 10,000 in‑person parade attendees and an estimated 25,000 festival attendees at Santana Park) and a 21‑minute fireworks program. Staff said the city recorded roughly 42,000 live views for the fireworks feed.

Staff also reported the inaugural Music & Arts Festival as a seven‑hour event featuring 21 local artists, about 10 live performances and an estimated 5,000 attendees over the day. The five‑week movies‑in‑the‑park program ran at four parks (Promenade Park, Ridgeline, Stagecoach and Spyglass) with weekly attendance ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 depending on the night; staff noted one movie week was canceled due to fires.

The weekly summer street fair included 25+ vendors and attracted between 2,000 and 3,000 attendees on high‑attendance nights; the Parks Foundation sponsored the beer and wine garden. Staff said city social media and online outreach reached more than 100,000 engagements and the combined in‑person reach for signature events and movies was over 52,000 for the season.

Staff invited commissioners to upcoming fall events including a Halloween weekend and the holiday lighting event in December. No formal action was taken on events during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting - 8/12/25","oneSentenceSummary","Staff summarized the summer special‑events season: a July 4 parade and festival with fireworks, the inaugural Music & Arts Festival, weekly summer street fairs, and a five‑week movies‑in‑the‑park series.","taxTitle","Corona City, Riverside County, California","taxId",5799,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6587628,"Community Services annual report: participation growth, volunteer surge, library innovation center planned",1216,2320000,3536000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5566365-72e3ce8866dce7642cb40e6b84e4b443&start=2320&end=3536","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5566365-72e3ce8866dce7642cb40e6b84e4b443/thumbnail_2320000.jpg","/articles/6587628/Corona-City/Riverside-County/California/Community-Services-annual-report-participation-growth-volunteer-surge-library-innovation-center-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587628-b6a962b34925e7240957e127efa79147/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172956&Signature=MVqtQVFB6Ban9nOZxO2pXfKlmtO39z8bwbUsmfa-Yvjys-inkzEZ~4TYhlf3oO5VTrYhMDhdC9B0KkNEI2JOKtSP9BaxxBBf4anhKS8wQltsvOqJgJ20e01~X2VH2RPr8D-dHMH5Nrt3p1g05tfMIO0Fgyy1clyZUK5T7ep9TdzQRf3EPRjyVbQHlzUJTONboFxziBtfWSI7P9G5sOLCaMBxPZNVm8ZUdZLLIc67vvuKR-KErnayYdJbrfQj7dJLW0Vcb8aCS~e7OXtyUYR15Dgakq3BGXeFailS1sRy4IKb70F7wNBD2dr6~9J-rDH8Lyjmq0cOCEfbXsud~APiMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Staff presented the Community Services Department’s first annual report covering fiscal 2025 and asked the commission to receive the update. The report summarized participation increases across several program areas, growth in volunteer hours, investments in parks and facilities, and library improvements and future plans.

Highlights provided by staff included: Adventure Camp had 963 total participants with a weekly average of about 114; adaptive programming offered 74 activities and just under 4,000 participants; recreation classes combined offered 176 activities, 765 sessions and over 8,000 participants; the department reported just under 1,400 volunteers contributing more than 23,000 hours.

On parks and capital work staff said the city invested approximately $2.8 million in park improvements last year, opened three new playgrounds and completed deferred‑maintenance work on several sites. For the urban reforestation program, staff reported 9,000 trees planted over three years toward a five‑year goal of 15,000 trees.

The library reopened and expanded its Heritage Room in October 2024 and added a memory lab (digitization equipment). Staff described a planned 2,500‑square‑foot innovation center in the library (funded in part by a $2.5 million grant) that will include a makerspace (3D printers, laser cutter, sewing machines), VR career‑training simulators and workforce training partnerships with local educational partners; staff aim to open the innovation center by next summer.

Staff also listed grant activity: an application to a National Park Service legacy partnership program that could provide up to $15 million for a city park project (the application passed a state screening and is awaiting federal review), a $100,000 Green Latinos grant for downtown tree planting and a $4,000 award for senior travel.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about program pricing, school partnerships for after‑school Kids Club sites, park inspection work, maintenance backlogs and outreach for the Heritage Room’s memory lab. Staff provided clarifications on pricing differences between staff‑led and contract classes and confirmed coordination with the Corona‑Norco Unified School District on Kids Club space and ELOP funds that have supported free after‑school programming at some sites.","Staff presented the department’s first annual report showing growth across many programs — camps, adaptive programming, volunteers, tree plantings — and outlined library plans for an innovation center and recent Heritage Room upgrades.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6587633,"Victoria Park splash pad opens; commission hears parks capital updates including automated restroom locks and Skyline master plan",133,1307000,1440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5566365-72e3ce8866dce7642cb40e6b84e4b443&start=1307&end=1440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5566365-72e3ce8866dce7642cb40e6b84e4b443/thumbnail_1307000.jpg","/articles/6587633/Corona-City/Riverside-County/California/Victoria-Park-splash-pad-opens-commission-hears-parks-capital-updates-including-automated-restroom-locks-and-Skyline-master-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587633-515f2d443a41905627a396c8bb259c4c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172956&Signature=mojKwU9IVTp0otjgU74PDYDXcwpRnWW7O~jvjxqvgBRs-CJAqYJjMRPFSXbZvV-7mKIbc8EFi8stL8pPPptfiBLK8UlUd36~G9Lqxl~CxHL5EgpCL7M5cR557fJzWRhgPjmX7gYxHfbzkMxRmK7Y8Bm3rq328XOH786bj3rpKzRxprO-dZGliH-8HnP73L6tjyDEo60yeu1C1vKuHjTo0og3XZTgK9112aTR3scleZjlCgESn6q7cOU2Ed1UsygT2zbs8StAbJ2ArqbzE73glVxYgajgIu4k0CkweUoJpgyQHm0OWiLAqwBz130yP0jjoa~AFoBJlNhVsCDgOsn6hw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff reported the Victoria Park splash pad had a grand‑opening ribbon cutting and has been heavily used since opening; staff said the project was community‑development‑block‑funded and drew more than 200 attendees at the launch. The Parks Foundation provided funding for snow cones for the first 150 guests.

Staff told the commission they will install automated locks at eight park restroom locations — Kellogg, Ontario, Brentwood, Tehachapi, Parkview, Sierra Bella, Rock Vista and Griffin Park — to reduce contractual locking costs and to secure restrooms after park hours. Staff said the locks will lock at park close and unlock during park hours; they described the installation as a trial and noted vendors offer warranties and that surrounding agencies already use similar locks.

Parks staff said the Skyline Area Master Plan has been adopted by city council and an implementation plan includes light amenities, seating, trash receptacles, a restroom near the trailhead and proposed circuits of roughly one to two miles for hikers. Staff also reported progress on trails master‑plan year‑one items, including installation of trailheads at Butterfield Park, Fresno Canyon, Eagle Road and the Green River SART trailhead. On Fresno Canyon trailhead, staff said the site is mostly complete except for final water service to the drinking fountain.

Staff said Griffin Park Phase 2 design work has been funded with approximately $2,000,000 in grant funds awarded through an effort tied to Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes, and that RJM is the project designer; an update on concept design will be brought to the commission in September.

Commissioners asked operational questions about the automated locks (battery life, vandal concerns and how officers or residents would report propped doors). Staff said random checks and resident non‑emergency reporting will supplement inspections, and that warranties cover manufacturer defects but not deliberate damage. No formal votes were taken on the capital items; staff requested input and said further implementation details would come back to the commission.","Commissioners received updates on the newly opened Victoria Park splash pad, a plan to install automated locks at eight restrooms, adopted Skyline Area Master Plan implementation, trailhead improvements, and an upcoming Griffin Park Phase 2 grant-funded design update.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6587638,"Pickleball committee urges ad hoc group after El Cerrito project paused",113,802000,915000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5566365-72e3ce8866dce7642cb40e6b84e4b443&start=802&end=915","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5566365-72e3ce8866dce7642cb40e6b84e4b443/thumbnail_802000.jpg","/articles/6587638/Corona-City/Riverside-County/California/Pickleball-committee-urges-ad-hoc-group-after-El-Cerrito-project-paused","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587638-bb79702e507581347e674e4655d2f85b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172956&Signature=K~BnMLaQLPf2I92Fou79fpHUQWaYNPVDbJIHCeZaFPnSrVzX3DJ9iNxUIe2PSMKGQuwSRFJHrQcsNXe5fFrol-M6eLveQ-IE1812IJMQuEx-MGu6JFQJYD4WZ0AmZY9ks7m43bzyFSpSNhzgax0PnoPppJ383E7PScGl-WM3C5HGEhtxVxVwcqpcS41QRZELToz5zNeTeKG-fmmIhU3zxfWSYUtsZyxST~6JwunLiD7SWiokaPIcugIORknbKZzIhlUpY~uJIQ9FSGb3UQS7RKAO3GLpoLLioVu3BrcVb~9rY9x2A2KMSw65k0rj-lkk-Mb6-Rim5g84X4y006DU1A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Speakers from the local pickleball committee told the Parks and Recreation Commission the $1,100,000 El Cerrito Pickleball facility project budget has been approved but is “paused pending further evaluation,” and asked the commission to help form an ad hoc committee to explore alternatives and present \"win‑win options\" to city council.

The committee asked that the ad hoc include one or more pickleball committee members, city community services staff, finance staff, Parks and Recreation Commission representation and at least one city council member. Public commenters said they were surprised by the project’s potential impact on the tennis community and want that community represented as alternatives are evaluated.

Commissioners and staff did not take formal action on the request at the meeting. Commissioners acknowledged the public comment and discussed ad hoc committees as a useful tool for complex, multi‑stakeholder issues but did not vote to establish a committee during the session.

The matter was raised during the meeting’s public‑comment period and a number of commissioners said they had watched the council discussion that prompted the request; Commissioner Olsen said ad hoc committees had worked for other complex topics and encouraged staff to investigate similar options.

No formal timeline or membership was set at the meeting; petitioners said they wanted the committee formed quickly and were willing to help set it up.","Speakers at the Corona Parks and Recreation Commission meeting asked the commission to join an ad hoc committee to review alternatives after the $1.1 million El Cerrito Pickleball project was paused by city council.","actionData","errors"]
