Found this place while staying in Temecula looking for somewhere to hike/walk. This is a great place for that as they have a wide concrete path all the way around the lake. One lap is about .8 miles and not only is there a beautiful view there are also restrooms and many benches if you need a break. Free parking and easy access via the surrounding streets. Probably the best place in Temecula for this type of activity.

Spending time walking around the pond viewing the memorials, feeding the ducks, geese, or other wildlife, or just sitting on a bench enjoying the activity and weather are a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Or you can quick walk around the pond getting in your steps. Love this place, the pride of Temecula.

Great time visiting this little treasure. My son kept running back and forth between the chickens, the bunny and the pig! Chocolates were equally as great! Lana and Valerie were excellent hosts!!!

Situated at the end of Front Street in Old Town Temecula one finds a small 1.8 acre park with a gazebo (perfect for sitting and resting tired feet after traversing the entire Old Town area) and lots of shade trees. The park is equipped with picnic tables and barbecue grills. Restrooms are also available within the park confine. Dogs are permitted if on a lease. Just a short distance from the main entrance to the park there is a huge granite monument designed by Sam Hicks to honor the pioneers who "Passed This Way" during their journey to the west. Temecula was a stop off center during this time frame (1850 -1890's). Some pioneers stayed in the area while others just 'pass on through' heading to other destinations in California. The Monument is made out of a 150 ton block of white granite. The names of 56 pioneers are carved into the sides of the granite block. Kit Carson, Helen Hunt Jackson and Thomas "Pegleg' Smith are just a few of the well known names inscribed on the block of stone. Other than the “Sam Hicks Monument Park” marker at the park’s entrance there is no plaque, sign or information telling visitors who Sam Hicks was, what he meant to the community and or even why the park in Old Town bears his name. A truly unique monument honoring those early pioneers who ventured to California. Well worth an hour visit.
