Rancho Jurupa Park

Rancho Jurupa Park is a 200-acre recreational area situated along the Santa Ana River, just behind Mt. Rubidoux in Jurupa Valley, California. The park offers a semi-rural setting with shady cottonwood trees, meadows, and two fishing lakes, while still providing convenient access to the urban amenities of nearby Riverside.

The park features two distinct campgrounds to accommodate different camping preferences. The Lakeview Campground is popular among both RV and tent campers, offering a more traditional camping experience. The Cottonwood Campground caters specifically to RV enthusiasts with more modern facilities. For those seeking additional comfort, the park also provides rental cabins that combine outdoor access with indoor conveniences.

Rancho Jurupa Park offers a variety of recreational activities for visitors. The two 3-acre lakes allow for year-round shore fishing, with regular stocking of trout in colder months and catfish during warmer seasons. Families can enjoy the splash pad water play area, which operates seasonally from April through September. The park also features multiple playgrounds, including areas designed for different age groups.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the park provides opportunities for disc golf, miniature golf, and rock climbing on a boulder play area. Picnic areas with shade shelters are available throughout the park, making it an ideal location for family gatherings or group events.
