Riverside County will fund updated amenities for Hurkey Creek near Highway 74 in the San Jacinto Mountains, 5th District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez announced Tuesday.

The Hurkey Creek Park Beautification Project will provide money to pay for improved landscaping, restrooms and general maintenance, including painted picnic tables and a new ice maker.

In a prepared statement, Perez, who proposed the project, reminisced of childhood visits to the park that give personal significance to the initiative.

“Hurkey Creek was a place we went to for vacation as a kid with our tíos, tías and cousins,” Perez said. “For many folks, especially on the east side, we like going there, it’s only an hour drive up the 74. So I’m very proud of the fact that we are making this investment here and building up Hurkey Creek for more generations.”

Hurkey Creek Park is operated by the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District.

The park has 130 individual campsites for stays of up to 14 days, as well as large group camping areas in five separate loops that each can accommodate 80-100 campers, according to the county parks district. Hiking trails, a picnic area and playground are also park features.

More information on the park is at rivcoparks.org.
