Plant based beauty in Chino, California

Chino Creek Wetlands and Educational Park is a 22-acre park located in Chino, California, adjacent to the Inland Empire Utilities Agency Headquarters. This park, which opened in 2007, was funded in part by a state grant from the State Water Resources Control Board. The park is designed to restore native habitat and natural drainage, showcasing the environmental values of the Prado Basin, the largest riparian forest in southern California. Visitors to the park can enjoy 1.7 miles of trails landscaped with a variety of climate-appropriate and low-water-use plants. The park also features a state-of-the-art irrigation management system. Open to the public year-round during daylight hours, the park offers educational programs for students through the Water Discovery Field Trip Program. These programs include tours of the interpretative wetlands and wildlife education center.
