In 2018, a land dedication ceremony was held at the future park on Santa Ana Avenue between Cypress Avenue and Juniper Avenue. In 2019, the design review process and environmental review process was completed and approved. In the same year, the City of Fontana pursued a grant to help fund the construction of South Fontana Sports Park, and in doing so, collected resident input through an online survey. In 2020, the park design has been modified and now appears as in the image above.
The 17-acre park is designed to feature:

  • Four synthetic turf football/soccer fields
  • Sports lighting for nighttime play
  • ADA accessible playground
  • Concessions, storage, and restroom buildings
  • Walking path

The meeting is being organized by the City of Fontana Public Works Department. Residents with questions can contact the Department directly at : (909) 350-7600
