Important Facts
Today, you will find 20 playing fields ideal for soccer tournaments and league events, a senior/community center, a new walking trail and other amenities that were spelled out in a Master Plan approved by voters more than 10 years ago.
The Master Plan link (below) takes you to the City of Oceanside website and the El Corazon Specific Plan. The file is quite large and takes a while to open, so please be patient.
The map photo provides a fair representation of the overall development of El Corazon, based on the City’s adopted Specific Plan for El Corazon. El Corazon, while mostly a park, is not and was never intended to be only parks, parklands, or open space.
The “Urban” area was and is intended for residential, commercial, and light industrial uses. It only represents 11% of the total El Corazon land area and its development will financially support the development of the remainder of El Corazon.
The “Rural” area is a mixture of sports fields, parks, and civic uses — which provides a combined 53% of the total El Corazon.
Finally, the westernmost property of El Corazon, will be what we call “Wild.” It comprises 36% of the total land area and will consist mostly of wild habitat with trails and supportive uses that makes this are “natural or native” in the long-term, but still visitable and enjoyable to Oceanside residents and visitors.
