Coronado is fortunate to have so many parks spread around town for public use. Many have historic significance, others were an opportunity to keep some open spaces around town. Our City of Coronado grounds maintenance crew does a fantastic job of keeping our parks looking great year round. Next time you see them working offer them thanks for a job well done! They are an asset to Coronado |
