Apollo Park

Apollo Community Regional Park is a 54-acre public park located in Lancaster, California. Named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts, the park was dedicated in 1972 and features three man-made lakes as its centerpiece. These lakes, stocked with fish such as rainbow trout, common carp, and green sunfish, provide opportunities for fishing and scenic views.

The park's landscape includes mature trees that line the lakes and provide shade for visitors. Paved and hard-packed walking paths wind throughout the park, offering opportunities for leisurely strolls or exercise. The park's design incorporates multiple playgrounds with modern equipment for children, as well as numerous picnic areas, some of which are covered to provide shelter from the sun.

Apollo Park serves as a habitat for various waterfowl, making it an excellent location for bird watching. Visitors can often observe ducks, geese, and other bird species around the lakes. The park's natural setting, combined with its recreational facilities, makes it a popular destination for families, fitness enthusiasts, and nature lovers in the Antelope Valley region.

The park is open year-round, with extended hours during the summer months. Fishing in the lakes requires a California state fishing license. While swimming is not permitted in the lakes, they provide a tranquil backdrop for picnics and outdoor relaxation.
