Magnolia Park

I like this park, I like to go early and jog, also like to take my almost 3 year old to play

Magnolia Park is right down the street from our house and it is a nice, clean park however, the concerts every Wednesday at 7pm are extremely loud and disruptive. I have a 5 month old infant and it’s very difficult to put her asleep when the music is blaring in her bedroom. Very rude and disruptive to the residents who live close to the park.

Park is quiet and clean. Unfortunately there is no shade over the equipment so when it’s warm your kids can’t play.
Lots of grass, benches, and some restrooms.
It’d be fantastic if it had a large shade.

This is my favorite park to go to in Upland, for sentimental values and for all that it has to offer. There are days where I just come out here with some Jamba Juice and reflect on life!
There are two playground areas, you can tell that one was made for smaller kids and one was made for big kids :) I qualify as a big kid, right? Just Kidding.
With Upland Recreation located in this park, you can come here to register your child for gymnastics, martial arts, dance, etc… I have personally volunteered to help with the Butterflies in May event in the past where we help little elementary-​aged kids build a home for their cocoons. The idea is that the cocoon will turn into a butterfly :) Pretty neat, right?
You can also come here to get permits to rent out certain spaces at the parks in Upland. I have personally rented these spaces out for my birthday before. It was $ 15/​hr when I turned 17… But that was a really long time ago, so the prices may have changed.
In June, Relay4Life Upland is usually hosted here as well. For such a small city, Upland always has a good turn out rate with this event.
During the summer, Magnolia Park hosts a concerts in the park event where there is a featured movie projected onto the wall on Wednesday nights. The Kiwanians of Upland Foothill Kiwanis sell popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, and other snacks at an inexpensive price. Families come with their children and basically picnic for a while before the movie starts. It is definitely a very family oriented event, but you can come with your significant other. Just keep it pg!
When there is not an event going on, the park closes at 10pm. I honestly didn’t know this until someone from the Upland Police Dept gave me a verbal warning cause I was there at 9:55pm or something like that. I guess that’s a rule to make sure no one is doing anything shady at the park?
