Lions Park is one of the focal points of Ontario and an important part of the community. With the new Recreation District in place and the Splash Pad under construction this will again be a place that Ontario will be proud of. I am sure that the Aquatic Center will open soon and again will be a hum of activity. The park is going through some construction pains but still the Ontario City with its partnership with Jacobs continues to keep the park in good shape with the funds available. I do like a new Buddy Bench that was donated by one of our local citizens and see many individuals use it to strike up conversations. I also like the Veterans Monument that was installed by our Japanese partners in the community that honors our men and women that served. Also want to mention the new Holiday Tree donated by Jacobs and Veteran Advocates of Ore-Ida that lights up every year to help celebrate the season. All in all just a nice place to relax and make new friends.

This place offers many large shade trees, lots of grassy areas and a playground area. There are picnic table sprinkled around. There is a parking lot as well as street parking.
