About

Friends of
El Corazon

The Friends of El Corazon, (FELC) was established in 2012. We are a non-profit group made up of a growing number of Oceanside, CA citizens that act as stewards of the developing El Corazon Park – a 450+ acre property found in the “heart” of Oceanside. The park’s master plan that was approved by voters more than a decade ago, includes 20 sports fields for kids of all ages, and a beautiful, multi-purpose Senior Center. The Master Plan also calls for a future Olympic-sized Aquatic Complex, walking and biking trails, a library, a hotel, a community of 300 new homes and some commercial space.
