Colton Regional Park will be a 150-acre facility situated along the north and south banks of the Santa Ana River. This will be the first regional park in the County�s 5th Supervisory District and in the City of Colton�s 6th Council District.
This vacant land has been zoned by the City of Colton as an open space and preserve. In keeping with that zoning, the design of the proposed facility will be master planned for minimally active recreation and predominately native landscaping.
Colton Regional Park is a partnership with the San Bernardino County Regional Parks Division, the City of Colton, and The Wildlands Conservancy. The proposed plan for this new facility includes:
approximately 25 acres to be set aside for multiuse fields and parking
landscaped parking and restrooms
picnic shelters with turf areas for family events
a 7-10 acre lake for fishing and habitat mitigation
large areas of native planting along the river corridor with pathways for walking and bicycle riding
RV and tent camping
Community outreach is being conducted throughout the environmental phase of this project.
It has been 23 years since a new regional facility was built, making Colton Regional Park an exciting next step.

The EIR report for the Manhole builders site is available at the city counter in Grand Terrace, it says that there will be NO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, AND THEREFORE A APPROVAL IS REOMMENDED WITH A NEGATIVE DECLARATION. The report however, sites a gas station on Barton Road, so perhaps that is also intended here. Opposition groups spoke up that none of the roads in the area were constructed to handle the big truck traffic, and that no city or county owned the 60 year old black top railroad road. But hey, this is progress. NOT! Building & Safety is HIRED to protect the safety of the FOLKS, not just themselves & their pockets. Attend planning & council meeting to see for yourself. PROTECT OUR TOWN!
