Prado Regional Park, Sports venue and regional park in Chino, United States
Prado Regional Park is a 2,000-acre regional park and sports venue in Chino, California, managed by San Bernardino County. It offers fishing, archery, camping, a golf course, horseback riding, and a shooting range that hosted the 1984 Olympic shooting events.
Prado Regional Park traces its origins to the Santa Ana River floods of 1937 and 1938, which led to construction of Prado Dam in 1939. A 1961 state legislative report found the dam area unfit for the State Park System but recommended county-level administration. In 1972, after community efforts, the State Water Commission approved a $1.3 million grant, and the park opened on July 2, 1976. Its shooting range hosted the 1984 Olympic shooting events.
The park serves as a gathering place for different recreational communities, from modelers to fishing enthusiasts, creating spaces where hobbies and outdoor interests come together naturally.
The park lies in Chino under San Bernardino County jurisdiction, reached from the Prado Dam area along the Santa Ana River. Anglers, archers, golfers, riders and campers each use separate sections, so check which area you want before arriving. The shooting range that hosted the 1984 Olympic events is a distinct facility from the general recreation grounds.
The park's shooting range hosted the 1984 Olympic shooting events, as recorded in the official report of the Los Angeles Games. The facility sits within a 2,000-acre county park in Chino, and the same grounds offer archery, fishing, camping, a golf course and horseback riding.
