About

Rohr Park Ranger Station in Bonita manages the 59.9-acre Rohr Park on Sweetwater Road, one of the largest municipal parklands in the Chula Vista park system. The station oversees trails, sports fields, an equestrian arena, and reservable picnic shelters across a Sweetwater River floodplain site that complements the coastal wetland preservation at San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge on the bayfront. Rohr Manor, a two-story wood-and-brick structure built in 1938, anchors the park's historic core and appears in the city's heritage inventory alongside the surrounding landscape donated by Fred H. Rohr. Park capacity exceeds 1,200 visitors and includes two recently updated playgrounds, a walking-and-jogging loop, full basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and soccer fields used by athletic programs at nearby Bonita Vista High School. The equestrian arena supports Bonita's longstanding riding culture, with multi-use trail connections extending west through Sweetwater Regional Park and east toward the Bonita Golf Club corridor along Sweetwater Road.
