Beaches Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting February 10, 2026

The City of San Clemente Beaches Parks and Recreation Commission convened to discuss several community and recreational initiatives. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the planning and development of off-leash dog parks, with the San Bernardino Park identified as the preferred location for a new dog park and Bonita Canyon Park considered for a dog run. The commission reviewed community survey results and discussed design considerations, including park features and surfacing options. Additionally, the commission addressed the policy on reserving lap lanes at the San Clemente Aquatic Center, ultimately deciding to limit lane reservations to weekdays before 3 PM to maximize pool accessibility during peak hours. Other topics included updates on concession operations at the pier, ongoing beach sand policy development, and public outreach efforts to educate the community on sand replenishment projects. The meeting concluded with motions to advance these initiatives and plans for future agenda items focused on public education and community engagement.
