Proximity to Chino Hills State Park
Chino Hills State Park covers over 14,000 acres of rolling hills with oak and sycamore groves, offering year-round hiking, horseback riding and camping.
Chino Hills State Park encompasses more than 14,000 acres of foothill terrain where the borders of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties meet. The landscape is defined by rolling grassy hills and valleys studded with stands of California oak and sycamore trees. The park operates year-round, with day-use hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the cooler months and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. from April through September, making it accessible for both quick visits and longer outdoor days.
The park's main activities draw people across age groups and ability levels. Hiking trails of varying difficulty wind through the hills and give views across the foothills and toward the coast. Horseback riders use designated trails throughout the park. Campers can reserve tent sites, group areas or more remote camping spots; picnickers can use day-use facilities; and naturalists can join guided tours or visit the Discovery Center to learn about the park's ecology and wildlife. The park is especially popular in spring when wildflowers bloom across the hillsides.
The existence of serious open space and outdoor recreation near your home shapes family choices and habits. A parent who uses the park for hiking and a teenager who rides horses both benefit from access to something larger than a suburban park. These are the routines and experiences that define a childhood and a household, the ones you'd want to protect if you could not be there to provide for them.
