Central City Park

client: city of fontana

The City of Fontana hired BMLA to create a sports park that would cater to the local community, as well as serve the City’s needs. They wanted to combine water conservation with traditional park design and connect the park with the greater community through the existing bike trail and a neighboring park. The result was the 14.25-acre Central City Park, which features 2 artificial turf soccer/football fields and 1 artificial turf soccer field. Each field includes seating, shade, a water fountain, and a misting station. In addition to the sports fields, the park also includes a restroom/concession building, universally accessible children’s play area, shaded outdoor dining, a competitive horseshoe facility with seating, shade, storage, and a private community garden with storage. Ample parking and handicap access is provided to all parts of the park, as well as connection with the existing bike trail to the south.
