Sweetwater Regional Park´s Summit Campground and Eastview Park located on Summit Mountain Road, has undergone dramatic transformations. They now have a community room with fireplaces and a deck which overlooks the Sweetwater Reservoir. This room is now open for events, meetings and camp programs.

Another big attraction to living in Bonita is the walking trail which loops the Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course. Every day of the year, you will see hundreds of people walking, running or horseback riding along this trail. It´s become a very popular "way of life" in this community. And you don´t have to be a resident of Bonita to enjoy this fantastic trail.

If you are a die-hard equestrian, then Bonita is just the city for you. Horseback riding is a huge part of the Bonita community with many trails throughout the Lower Sweetwater Valley. The Bonita Valley Trails organization monitors and supports the network of trails throughout the valley. Also, there are many homes with stables, so if you want a place to board your horse, Bonita is the perfect neighborhood.

Bonita, it seems to have something for everyone!
