San Bernardino County Regional Parks, in partnership with the office of Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor , invited the community to celebrate the newly renovated playground at Glen Helen Regional Park on Saturday, Nov. 14, beginning at 10 a.m.; park admission will be free from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., the county said. Everyone is welcome to stay afterward to enjoy the park, and leashed pets are welcome.

The county said the renovation was funded in part by $1 million in federal Community Project Funding that Rep. , who represents California’s 33rd Congressional District, presented in May 2024 through the Community Project Funding Playground Restoration Project; the project added new shade structures, a pour-in-place play surface, an expanded accessible pathway around the playground, refurbishment of existing playground equipment and accessibility improvements to the adjacent parking area in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The county said the playground upgrades complement approximately $14 million in completed projects at Glen Helen Regional Park, including the nature island playground that opened in June, a new rodeo-themed splash pad, waterslides, solar park lighting, an upgraded entry monument, bridge improvements, renovated picnic shelters and restrooms, and a new concrete boat dock.

Glen Helen Regional Park is at 2555 Glen Helen Pkwy. in San Bernardino; regular park hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, the county directs readers to parks.sbcounty.gov and the parks department’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
