PARK & FACILITIES MASTER PLAN Prado Park Prado Park is a small park, just under 1 -acre in size. Prado Park, located in the southeast portion of Colton,. is part of a small flood control retention basin. It is the large old Popular Trees on the west side of the park and the stream that create an inviting park setting. Even though the park is small, it has a lot of character. Because it is a drainage area, the property was never developed for residential use, which is why it was selected as a park site and developed into a small passive park. The park is bordered by Prado Lane on the north, a single family residence on the east, a Southern California Edison easement road on the west side, and an open hillside area to the south. The park contains over (20) large trees that provide shade throughout most of the day in a good portion of the park. The small stream, which is created from runoff from the surrounding neighborhood, could be developed into a very attractive natural water feature by adding boulders to create a more natural look. The only amenities existing within Prado Park are (5) parking spaces, (3) three picnic tables, (2) barbeques, and some trash receptacles. No handicap parking exists at the park, and handicap access is not available to the picnic tables and barbeques. The park has an automatic irrigation system, turf and trees. Master Plan improvements to Prado Park include; handicap parking, accessible paved walkways, picnic areas with concrete slabs, a play equipment area, a 24' -wide gazebo or shade structure, and boulders and stream improvements to make the stream look more natural. A trailhead area with a sign, drinking fountain, benches, and a bike rack or hitching post is in the Master Plan to identify the hiking and riding opportunities available on the adjacent maintenance roads through the hillsides. Irrigation system and turf renovation should be completed during any major improvement projects and trees should be added for age and species diversity. A park identification sign and renovation of the creek crossing are also identified in the Prado Park Master Plan. S.VWonaXCWtwWasty PlanlMeslw Plan Re rnenddons.doc K-33
