This
park preserves some of the rapidly vanishing cultural landscape of the citrus
industry
and to tell the story of this industry's role in the history and development
of California.
The park recaptures the time when "Citrus was King" in California,
recognizing the importance
of the citrus industry in southern California.

Many
trails wander throughout the 377 acre park
through orange groves and citrus varietal blocks.
Nearly half of the 377 acres is devoted to a working citrus grove overlooking the valley.
Antique citrus grove equipment is on display around the park.
The visitor center houses a citrus museum.
Inside
the museum visitors can learn how oranges came to Riverside County
in the late 1800's and early 1900's and sparked California's second "gold
rush".
Plans for the future include a "growers" mansion that will also serve as a restaurant.
