Huntington Central Park, located in the heart of Huntington Beach, was established in 1968 when the citizens of Huntington Beach approved a six million dollar park bond. Extending across Golden West Street between Slater Avenue and Ellis Street, the park includes Central Park West and Central Park East. An architectural centerpiece, Central Library and Cultural Center, was designed by the famed father-son Neutra team.
The many attractions at Central Park include Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center, H.B. Dog Park, H.B. Disc Golf Course, Huntington Beach Playhouse, Alice's Breakfast in the Park, Park Bench Cafe, Lake Huntington, Central Park Amphitheater, Adventure Playground, Par Course, Shipley Nature Center (open on the third Sunday of each month), playgrounds, picnic tables, BBQ grills and special events throughout the year.
