Come out to the Park!
Located at 4500 Carbon Canyon Road in the City of Brea, this modern style, green built facility boasts several attractive features. A 1,500 sq. ft. Visitor Center/Exhibit Hall with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows is home to a variety of “high” and “low” tech displays sure to please any age.

The Community Room and Outdoor Amphitheater are both available for rental. Community groups, organizations, and individuals should complete the application and submit it to the Department of Parks and Recreation. Download application form and information on the rental fees for the room and amphitheater.
Exhibits
The exhibits provide colorful information on subjects such as resident plants and animals, wildlife corridors, human impacts on open space, biodiversity, and even geomorphology! Exhibits include tactile features (things you can touch), video monitors, murals and more. The 1,600 sq ft. Multi-Purpose room can be used for public education and community meetings.
Finally, four bright and cheery public restrooms, an “organic” outdoor amphitheater, and short nature path with interpretive panels finish it off. A large monument sign stands near the entrance for all passing motorists to see.
Access
Visitors entering this western side of the Park can visit the Discovery Center on their way to hike, bike, horseback ride, and view wildlife. The parking lot is accessed off of Carbon Canyon Road and accommodates approximately 75 vehicles. We look forward to hosting many educational field trips and exciting special events at the new Discovery Center. The back parking lot was designed to accommodate buses and equestrian trailer parking.
State Park staff is on site to provide customer service, such as selling park passes, and providing maps, and information. The Chino Hills State Park Interpretive Association will have a variety of fun and educational items for sale at the reception counter. The Multi-Purpose room and restroom facilities, as well as the parking lot are open to the public.
