The newly renovated playground at Glen Helen Regional Park features updated playground equipment, expanded shade structures, accessible pathways and an improved play surface for families to enjoy.

San Bernardino County Regional Parks, in partnership with the office of Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., invites 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. 

Everyone is welcome to attend the celebration and stay afterward to enjoy the park and its amenities. Leashed pets are also welcome. 

In May 2024, Congressman Pete Aguilar, representing California’s 33rd Congressional District, presented San Bernardino County with $1 million in federal funding for playground renovations through the Community Project Funding Playground Restoration Project. 

The playground improvement project includes new shade structures, a pour-in-place play surface, an expanded accessible pathway around the playground, refurbishment of the existing playground equipment and accessibility improvements to the adjacent parking area in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 

The improvements 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 located at 2555 Glen Helen Pkwy. in San Bernardino. Regular park hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
