EL CERRITO SPORT'S PARK

This is for all of you out there, that check my blog and lived here in El Cerrito at one time or other.
Who would ever believe that El Cerrito is the home of the nicest park in the whole Corona area. Not only do we have the Crossing Shopping mall but now a sports park. We are really coming up in the world.
It is located on El Cerrito Road between the school and the freeway, on that vacant field. It is also in down town El Cerrito, Melissa. Drinking fountains that still work.

Two basketball courts. See the new remodeled El Cerrito school in the background.

Three baseball diamonds with dugouts and lights. Two soccer fields.


Two tennis courts with lights. No Dad has not tried them out yet.


With lots of parking places.
The county and the city went together and build it. It is beautiful.
Sidewalks to walk on. Maybe I will have to take Jakie down there and walk some morning.
The grass is still new and the trees are little.


I wish I had a picture of what this area looked like 33+ years ago, when we moved out here. Timmy 2 at the time told me discussed, ( no house, dirt). We had dirt roads or mud when it rained. There was nothing around. We had to travel through the orange groves to get into town or even a store, let alone a fast food place. Eagle Glen (white sands) is where the kids went and brought home all kinds or little creatures for me to take care. Now, 33 years later look what is here .

It is not only a beautiful park but you get to have beautiful weather to enjoy it in all the time!! THAT's the greatest blessing! Our newest parks are pretty too but who wants to go to them when it is 106 degrees???
