Temecula Celebrating New Playground At Sam Hicks Monument Park

TEMECULA, CA — The City of Temecula is formally unveiling its new playground at Sam Hicks Monument Park, and the public is invited.

The park's virtual reopening takes place Tuesday, January 26, at 11 a.m. on the Facebook page for the City of Temecula Community Services Department.

During the virtual celebration, Temecula’s City Council will talk about the newly renovated project at 41970 Moreno Road in Old Town. Some of the new playground attractions include a global motion ball, grapevine and barrels climber, and an oodle swing.

“It has been a long time coming. We are very excited to unveil the new playground equipment at Sam Hicks Monument Park. This playground contains play features that no other park in Temecula has. You will definitely want to experience this unique park the next time you are visiting Old Town Temecula," said Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards.

Temecula City Council Member and Community Services District President Zak Schwank said, “The new playground provides updated recreational amenities and educational manipulatives at the entrance of the Temecula Valley Museum, making it a great destination for families. This is another example of the renovations and improvements to Temecula made possible by our residents’ support of Measure S.”

Temecula playgrounds are open, although city officials remind residents to "Play It Safe" by socially distancing when possible, wearing a face mask, and being respectful to those around you.
