SUMMARY OF RECREATION CLASSES
IN CORONA
13. Corona has the fewest annual special events.
Temecula, Rancho Cucamonga, and Moreno Valley host
multiple arts, culture & music events and many of the events
are co-sponsored by community partners and local businesses.
In years past, Corona offered more child and family centered
activities and events such as a 5K run, Tiny Tots Olympics,
Movie nights, etc. These annual events were eliminated due to
budget reductions.
