Sam Hicks Monument Park — Attraction in Temecula

Sam Hicks Monument Park is located at the end of Front Street in Old Town Temecula. It is a shot walk to Oldtown and you can always find parking here.

The park is about 2 acres acres and has a beautiful gazebo which is a really nice place to sit and relax. There are a ton of shade trees because Temecula in the summer can get very hot.

The park has nice and clean picnic tables and BBQ grills. It is not usually crowded, but use of the BBQ area can get crowded for a kid's birthday or other family event. The entire are is very clean and you can bring your dog. Keep them on a leash.

The restrooms are clean and safe.

The Sam Hicks Monument (designed by Hicks) is made out of a 150 ton block of white granite. The monument was designed by Hicks to honor those who came through many years ago on their way to another California area to make a life. It is lovely.
