Peter F. Schabarum Regional Park, located in the city of Rowland Heights, is a 604-acre facility located south of the Pomona Freeway at Azusa Avenue. Seventy-seven acres of the park has been developed for picnics, youth camping, soccer and tennis. Youth tennis lessons are offered year-round. Exercise classes take place in the park every day of the week and are offered free of charge. There is a new “Life Trail” exercise area, geared for use by seniors, but available to everyone located near the entrance to the park. The walking-jogging path runs the length of the park and has been completely resurfaced. There is equestrian access to the natural-area trails at the south end of the park’s main road and parking for horse trailers.
There are two large covered picnic areas that can be rented for larger family gatherings and several smaller areas that can be rented in advance. There is a covered outdoor amphitheater and adjacent picnic area suitable for weddings, family reunions and corporate events. A free summer concert series is held each July and August. Two special features of the park are the Ume tree grove, which blossoms in February and the memorial Cherry tree path, blooming in March and April.
A federally protected blue-line stream runs throughout the park. The remaining 563 acres of the park have been left in their natural state and are crisscrossed by hiking, biking and horse-back riding trails that connect to the historic Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail, a portion of which is located within the boundaries of Schabarum Park.
