About Huntington Central Park

The park features an Urban Forest, a tranquil area of the park with native California trees and plants. It’s a natural retreat for those that want to leisurely walk and explore the trails, do bird-watching and see wildlife and butterflies.

There is a Dog Park for your four-legged pets that want to explore and meet other dogs. There are two areas so that smaller dogs and larger dogs can stay separated. You can sit while your dog explores and there are snacks available.

You can enjoy lunch or breakfast at the Park Bench Café in the park as well as Kathy May’s Lakeview Café. The Park Bench Café features menu items for your dog as well. After lunch, head over to the Huntington Central Library or the Central Park Amphitheater. They host annual events that are free to the public like the annual Easter Hunt and the Sunday Concert series.
