California Citrus State Historic Park
State Park · Riverside, California
California Citrus State Historic Park lies in the Arlington Heights area of Riverside, Riverside County, and keeps a working citrus grove open to the public as a window on the industry that shaped Inland Southern California. Riverside is tied to the Washington navel orange, and the story of Eliza Tibbets and the parent navel tree is told in this region (confirm what exhibits show it). The park mixes groves with a visitor center built to echo a packing house, picnic areas and walking paths among the trees (confirm). Fruit varies by season, and winter is the main navel harvest, when the blossoms and fruit make the grove especially pleasant (confirm). Summers are hot, often above 100 F, and smog days can affect the air. The park suits families, gardeners, school groups and anyone curious about farming history and how inland towns grew up around the orchards. The Mission Inn and Mount Rubidoux in the city are nearby.

The park has generally been open daily for day use from about 8 AM to 5 PM - confirm the posted hours, which can shift by season and funding. The visitor center and any tasting or fruit sales keep shorter, more variable hours, often limited to certain weekdays or weekends - confirm the days before you travel. Tours and special events are scheduled separately and some need advance booking - confirm. Heat in summer can make midday visits uncomfortable, and wildfire smoke or poor air quality in late summer and fall can affect visits. Check the park page on the day you go.
