Moreno Valley is "Number One in Riverside County for family recreation,"
according to the readers of the Press-Enterprise newspaper. Small won-
der when you look at the wide scope of recreational opportunities the
area encompasses.
Within minutes of the city's downtown, Moreno Valley's residents can
enjoy boating, fishing, camping and picnicking at the 8,000-acre Lake
Perris State Recreational Area in the city's southern end. The 640 acre
off-road vehicle Norton Younglove Reserve is just five minutes to the
east. Extensive equestrian and mountain biking trails are in the Box
Springs Mountain Regional Park in the badlands along the City's north-
ern boundary.
Moreno Valley has three golf courses: 27-hole Moreno Valley Ranch Golf
Course, one of the most beautiful championship courses in the United
States; 18-hole Quail Ranch Golf Course; and the municipal 9-hole
Cottonwood Golf Center.
But it's the City's Parks and Community Services that shines brightest in
meeting the recreational needs of everyone, from tots to seniors. Moreno
Valley has over 352 acres of parks, trails, and park facilities, including the
Senior Community Center, and over 195 programs and services for youths
and adults.
The park system is family oriented with extensive access to soccer, base-
ball, tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts and fields. Parks are spread
throughout the community, placing recreation facilities close to every
neighborhood. In addition to parks, there's a comprehensive network of
walking, cycling and horse-riding trails.
The Moreno Valley Senior Center is home to a vibrant senior community
complete with a nutrition center that offers a low-cost daily lunch, classes
and activities, trips and transportation. The City sponsors several adult and
youth sports teams in baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, football, roller
hockey and swimming.
Parks and Community Services also hosts a variety of arts and cultural pro-
grams, operates after-school programs, and offers a broad range of recre-
ational classes for youths, teens, adults and seniors.
