Confirmed from Mountain Gate Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
21-acre park featuring a playground, a picnic area & restrooms, plus basketball, tennis & softball.

Beautifully updated park in Corona! Such wonderful atmosphere this park brings. The update on the playground and shades are beautifully designed. I love the walking trail for stories you can read on the go.
It’s a nice park with green grass and views of the surrounding mountains. Park is always clean when I go from what I believe to be either people picking up after themselves or the park being maintained. Nice place to walk around. It’s a decent sized park. One can reserve a picnic shelter for a party.
Best park in Corona, ✔️Shade! ✔️no wood chips ✔️picnic tables with shade & BBQs ✔️2 parking lots ✔️clean bathrooms ✔️during sports game snack shop open ➕️ ✔️swings ✔️SHADE! ✔️Great walking path with a book to read. You can read a book while you walk the path. You have to see it to understand what I'm saying.
Love Mountain Gate Park. Been coming to this park for years now. Moved away in 2013 and just revisited the park and saw they added this awesome Mammoth head. Great park to bring all the kiddos. Restrooms are just a short walk away but they were very clean when we went.
