Brea City Hall and Park, National Register of Historic Places administrative complex in Brea, California.
Brea City Hall and Park is a municipal complex that blends Art Deco and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural styles, with a central building surrounded by open spaces. The grounds include various recreational facilities arranged throughout the property for public use.
Built in 1928 by architect Allen Ruott, the facility originally housed the library, police department, and jail for the expanding oil industry town. The structure reflects how the community consolidated multiple services in one building during that period of growth.
The park functions as a community gathering place where residents regularly come together for local events and celebrations. It serves as a social hub where people experience the town's traditions and everyday life throughout the year.
The grounds are publicly accessible with a swimming pool, basketball court, rose garden, and playground spread throughout the site. Plan your visit to explore different sections, and bring children if you want to use the play areas or recreational courts.
The swimming pool here ranks among California's longest-operating public swimming facilities, serving generations of visitors and locals alike. The facility has maintained its role as a recreational destination for swimmers throughout its decades of operation.
