Riverside has a natural beauty unparalleled in Southern California and it invests annually in the promotion, upkeep, and general enjoyment of its natural and manmade beauty. The City offers over 51 parks totaling 2,500 acres, including the Olmstead-designed Fairmount Park and with an average temperature ranging between 50 and 78 degrees, residents enjoy year round recreation. Towering above the City's downtown is Mt. Rubidoux, a natural mountain area with excellent City views from 1,300 feet and a popular hiking and jogging area. The view lends itself well to showcasing the City's lush and extensive urban forest comprised of 100,000 eucalyptus, palm, sycamore and pepper trees. The City is flanked by Orange Groves and snow-capped mountain vistas. Finally, residents can take a lazy 8-mile drive along the famed Victoria Avenue. Lined by beautiful rose-hedged medians and a variety of ornamental flowering trees, this charming avenue links the historical downtown and Mission Inn to the California Citrus State Historical Park.
