COLTON, Calif., July 8 (Inland Empire News Online) — Fiesta Village Family Fun Park in Colton is set to end public operations this weekend, with its final days open to visitors scheduled for Friday, July 10, and Saturday, July 11, according to the park’s hours page. The park’s website also says it will be closed on Sunday, July 12, for a private event.

The park also says hours and attraction availability can change because of weather, maintenance and business levels.
When is the last chance to visit?
The park’s final public schedule lists Friday, July 10, from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday, July 11, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, July 12, is listed as closed for a private event.

Why is it closing?
The park’s website does not give a public explanation for the closure. The New York Post reported that owners Michelle and Patrick O’Brien attributed the decision to dwindling visitor numbers and higher operating costs.
