Don Knabe Community Regional Park, previously known as Cerritos Community Regional Park, is an urban park in Cerritos, California. It contains a few large sculptures, two fishing lakes, and many other amenities.[1]

The park was retitled to its current name on November 30, 2016, to honor the former supervisor Don Knabe.[1] It was recommended by former mayor and supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.[2]

Recreation

[edit]

The park offers the following services:[1][3]

Both fishing lakes are mainly stocked with trout during the winter and spring seasons and catfish during the summer. Largemouth bass, carp, and bluegill are also found in the lake.[4][5]

The swimming pool is 50 metres (160 ft) in size and is open only during the summer.[6]

A 1.4 loop trail on the border of the park exists. It is popular for people road biking, and dogs are allowed on a leash.[7]
