July is National Picnic Month and with this summer being so beautiful, there are plenty of opportunities to head out to one of our beautiful local parks for a gathering. Whether they be big or small, alcohol laden or not, picnics are the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the company of friends or just enjoy the solitude. All of the parks are within a 20 minute drive from Montecito at Dos Lagos apartments so you won’t need to go out of your way for a little relaxing picnic. So grab your checkered blanket and your wicker basket full of goodies and get yourself to one of Corona’s beautiful local parks.

Our gorgeous Citrus Park is 20 acres of beautiful land and activities to enjoy. The park is fully ADA accessible so everyone can enjoy it. The playground equipment will keep the kids occupied and entertained while you enjoy your picnic. Catch a softball game at the softball fields in the park. Then, if the sun is starting to beat down a little too hotly, take yourself over to the splash zone to cool off before heading back to the picnic blanket. Citrus Park is only a 20 minute drive from Montecito at Dos Lagos Apartments.

Double the size of Citrus Park, Butterfield Park has a lot to offer! The 43 acres of land offer places for barbecues and covered pavilions for gatherings and parties. Butterfield Park also has a dog park for your four legged companions to play in. The playground equipment is fun for the kids and maybe even the adults if you can swing it! The soccer fields and softball fields are a great place to watch games and enjoy the day. Finish off the day with a scenic run on the jogging course. Butterfield Park is nearby with only a 20 minute drive separating you from the beautiful grounds.

Located in the heart of Corona near E. Grand Boulevard, City Park’s 20 acres are a perfect place to throw your picnic blanket down. Bicycle racks encourage visitors to ditch the 4 wheels and hop on their bikes to travel. The horseshoe courts are a great distraction during your picnic. With basketball courts, soccer fields and volleyball courts, there’s no excuse not to have fun at City Park. After your picnic, take it to the brink at the skate park but make sure you’re wearing a helmet! City Park is a short 13 minute drive away from Dos Lagos Apartments.

While it’s the smallest park, with only 13 acres, it still has plenty to do while on the grounds. Eagle Glen Park is a small treasure and with only a 4 minute drive, it’s the closest park to our apartment complex! The park boasts beautiful soccer and softball fields as well as tennis courts. Let the kids romp around on the playground equipment before retreating to the barbecue areas to cook up some delicious food.
