AWARDS
SCMAF 2016 Outstanding New Recreation Facility
This park provides a place for the citizens to come together and also creates a forum to strengthen relationships with the regional community. Recreational amenities and facilities for
baseball, soccer, basketball, tennis, skateboarding and fitness training gather athletes of all kinds to this special park. A rolling landscape makes the park fun to wander in and explore the
open space and swaths of water-wise gardens and trees. Drought tolerant and native trees, shrubs, succulents and groundcovers, in conjunction with state-of-the-art water-wise irrigation systems showcase the natural beauty that thrives in our Southern California climate. The butterfly garden inspires a sensate awareness of ecological systems at play in nature. Community art, plenty of benches and tables, covered picnicking areas, and open swaths of grass facilitate social gathering for the Stanton community. For the first time, Stanton has a place to host large-scale events like summer concerts to attract residents and visitors.
