Trails Master Plan – Phase I Adopted

The City of Corona is a vibrant and family-centered community that recently approved a strategic plan. As a part of meeting one of the goals in the strategic plan around sound infrastructure including the development and enhancement of parks, trails and recreational facilities to better serve its residents, the City completed the Trails Master Inventory in 2019.

Creating an environmentally sensitive, inclusive, equitable, and diverse plan for the Corona community has been the critical focal point for the City in building its image as the “City of Trails.”

The City of Corona is in a unique position where it borders the base of the Cleveland National Forest and provides access to a popular hiking trails known as Skyline Trail and Hagador Canyon. The trails, located in the unincorporated area of western Riverside County, have trailhead access within the City from Foothill Parkway just west of Lincoln Avenue at Trudy Way. The City also provides on-street parking on Foothill Parkway for users of Skyline Trail. Other foot trails are provided in the City, but are not recognized on any City Master Plan(s). Additionally, parts of the Santa Ana River Trail, a multi-jurisdictional trail, traverse the City of Corona with access connections available at certain areas within the City.

As such, the Corona Trails Master Plan identifies the locations of key trails in the City of Corona and trail access. The goal of the Plan is to better plan for trail access and connections in conjunction with development that may occur in areas of nearby trails and provide an appropriate interface between nature and the built environment.

Phase II will also analyze properties that are directly within the City of Corona’s jurisdiction and control for potential impacts, conduct surveys and outreach, create branding, explore recently acquired open space for accessibility, and take a fresh look at existing parks and landscape maintenance district properties, as well as properties owned by cooperative agencies such as the Riverside County Flood Control District to further develop easily accessible and connected trails experiences throughout the Corona community.
