Martha McLean – Anza Narrows is a 40-acre (0.16 km2; 0.062 sq mi) regional park located along the Santa Ana River in Riverside, California, United States. The park is operated by the Riverside County Regional Parks and Open Space District. A plaque in the southwest corner of the park marks the point at which the Juan Bautista de Anza party, the first Europeans to traverse the Riverside area, crossed the river in 1774 and again in 1776.

History

The park was named for Martha McLean, an activist who worked with her friend Ruth Anderson to save the Santa Ana River from being paved, as proposed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in the 1960s[1].

The park is located at a section of the Santa Ana River referred to as the Anza Narrows, in reference to the crossing point where the Juan Bautista de Anza Expedition crossed the river in 1774 and 1776[1]. A marker in the park commemorates the crossing, which is part of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail that stretches across Southern California.

Amenities

The park contains picnic facilities, hiking, bicycle and equestrian trails. Group picnicking with reservations is available. The 40-acre (160,000 m2) park sits atop a shady bluff along the Santa Ana River with sweeping views of the river.

The landscape, which includes a mix of shaded picnic areas and open turf, terminated at the bluffs that drop to the river.
