In February, Adelanto city officials broke ground on a nearly $2.8 million neighborhood park, located on 1.77 acres at Chamberlaine Way and Jonathan Street. This exciting development brings a variety of new amenities to our community, making it a wonderful place for families and residents to enjoy.

Park Features

The new park project includes:

• New Playground: A modern and safe play area for children of all ages.
• Splash Pad: A refreshing water feature perfect for hot days.
• Basketball Court: A full-sized court for basketball enthusiasts.
• Covered Picnic Area: Shaded spaces for family gatherings and picnics.
• Restroom/Shower Facilities: Convenient amenities for park visitors.
• Tetherball Court: A fun addition for both kids and adults.
• Exercise Equipment: Outdoor fitness options to promote healthy lifestyles.
• Turf Areas: Green spaces for relaxation and recreation.
• Walking Paths: Scenic paths for walking, jogging, and enjoying the outdoors.
• Perimeter Fence: Enhanced safety and security for park users.
• Landscaping and Lighting: Beautifully designed and well-lit areas for evening use.

Funding and Support

The park was made possible with a generous grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The Daily Press reported that more than $548.3 million in state grants were awarded at that time to improve 62 existing parks and construct 50 new parks across California. This significant investment in our community underscores the importance of accessible and quality recreational spaces.

A Community Milestone

The opening of this new neighborhood park marks a significant milestone for Adelanto. It reflects our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our residents by providing safe, enjoyable, and well-maintained public spaces. Parks play a vital role in fostering community spirit, promoting health and wellness, and offering a space for families and individuals to connect with nature and each other.
