Park Spotlights

B Street Station Park

41755 Juniper Street

Check out one of the City’s newest parks: B Street Station! Our 52nd park opened during the pandemic and has not received the hype it deserves. Located at the corner of B Street and Adams Avenue across from the Murrieta Senior Center, it affords fitness opportunities not found in most parks and is geared toward adults and seniors aged 50 and over. Outdoor fitness equipment selected for this park was specifically chosen for Murrieta’s mature, adult population as well to help individuals regain lost agility and increase strength and flexibility.

Although priority is given to adults and seniors aged 50 and over Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., the park site is open to the general public after those times and on weekends.

PARK AMENITIES INCLUDE:

• Two pickleball courts

• Outdoor strength-training equipment

• Outdoor ping pong tables

Los Alamos Hills Sports Park

37000 Ruth Ellen Way

• Picnic tables

• Picnic shelter

• Pickleball

CALL US 951-304 PARK

Los Alamos Hills Sports Park is the City’s premier sports recreation park. This park has it all, boasting six soccer fields, three football fields, four ball fields, three tot lots, “Get Fit” stations, and equestrian trails. Traditional sports, such as soccer, football, and baseball, are primarily played at this location through partnerships with Murrieta Youth Soccer, Murrieta Valley Pop Warner, Pylon 2 Pylon, Murrieta Valley Pony Baseball, and Murrieta National Little League. Lacrosse tournaments are also hosted at the soccer fields from time to time, and neighbors love coming together to play frisbee in the open grass areas.

DID YOU KNOW?

Los Alamos Hills Sports Park is only half-built. That’s right! There are another 20+ acres just north of the developed section that is still to be developed. This City is working with well known soccer leagues to build soccer fields. Watch for more information as these plans develop.

This park is also home to the City’s largest picnic shelter, which you can reserve for private gatherings. The park also has the largest tot lot in the City for children 2 to 12 years old. Surrounding open turf areas allow for picnics, games, kite-flying, bubble-blowing, and more!

Equestrian riders can enjoy this site for its connectivity to outer-lying areas and run/walkers enjoy the decomposed granite trail system that interconnects the various elements of the site, creating a variety of options for every distance and fitness level.

The operating hours for any of Murrieta’s park sites without sports field lighting are from sunrise to sunset. To utilize the lit athletic fields beyond sunset, a reservation is required as is the case for any organized league, camp, clinic, or large picnicking group.
