Pleasing Park

At nearby Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park, you can relax on the sandy beach, take a dip in Puddingstone Lake, drop a fishing line from one of the piers, or rent a pedal boat or kayak and explore the water. Visitors also can amble over to Norm’s Hangar Café for breakfast and watch planes land and take off right outside the window. If you want more physical activity, explore the 14 miles of challenging mountain bike trails that won Bonelli Park the great honor of hosting the 2028 Olympic Games XCO races, which will see top mountain bike riders compete. You can also try your hand at standup paddleboarding with a rental from Wheel Fun Rentals near the swim beach.
