Citrus Community Park Rimpau Ave. at Taber Street Cost: Free Hours Open: 9a.m. to dusk May through September
The Citrus-themed water playground is Corona’s very first water park. The parks design element is based from Corona’s Citrus history with plenty of seating around the park shaped like old fruit box crates, with an Orange shaped playground which includes 11 interactive water features.There are water tunnels, water cannons, an aqua dome, and spraying jets. The park is almost 3,000 square feet and uses 4,000 gallons of water, which is captured and cleaned for reuse.
The Water Park was primarily the idea born from Michael and Mary Vasquez of Corona, who are the owners of Miguel Junior’s family Restaurant chain. The Vasquez family would frequently visit Corona’s City Park on Sunday with their children, and wanted to give back to the community as well as to honor Michael who is suffering with Kidney failure. Please remember to keep him in prayer.
The Vasquez family graciously donated $250,000 as a gift to help construct the park. The parks total cost was approx. $700,000 to build, and mostly funded by private donations. Thanks to the City of Corona’s Park and Recreation Department and to all who have contributed in the cost and construction.
The parks new water feature is generating neighborhood excitement, and is sure to be a big Splash hit for all who visit!

Throughout Corona, Purple ribbons are hung every August in memory of 6-month-old Kaitlyn Russell. In August 2000 Kaitlyn was left alone in her babysitter’s car for at least two hours while the sitter visited with friends.
Authorities estimated the temperature had reached 130 degrees in the locked car by the time the child was found.
Purple Ribbon month is sponsored by a nonprofit organization called, "4 R Kids’ Sake." This organization was established by Kaitlyn Russels family in effort to educate the public of the danger of leaving children unattended in an vehicle.
In 2001, The California State Legislature, passed "Kaitlyn's Law," also known as the “Unattended Child in a Motor Vehicle Act.” It is illegal for any child younger than 6 to be left in an automobile without the supervision of an individual 12 years of age or older. Violations can result in a $100 fine. For more information call: 4 R Kids Sake at (951) 278-1820.
