Civic Center Park is Apple Valley's big everyday park
Civic Center Park anchors Apple Valley's civic core with an amphitheater, aquatic center, playground, dog park, shade, walking paths, and family facilities.
Apple Valley’s Civic Center Park is the kind of place that helps a town feel organized. It sits near the civic core and pulls together water, events, play space, shade, and walking in one public area.
The park covers about 22 acres. It has an amphitheater, playground, dog park, shade pavilion, restrooms, fitness equipment, and over a mile of sidewalk. The aquatic center is nearby on Dale Evans Parkway and includes pool features such as shaded areas, lockers, showers, picnic tables, and an ADA lift.
The park works for more than one kind of day. It can be a walk, a swim, a concert, a dog-park stop, or a place to let kids move around. Pool hours, rentals, fees, and dog-park maintenance can change, so check the town pages before planning around a specific activity.
