Nestled on 100 acres of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land (leased to the City) behind a willow forest in the Prado Basin lies the small, community oriented, Corona Municipal Airport. The airport is home to 350-400 general aviation aircraft and is strictly a recreational airport, with no commercial flights. Our small airport is extremely active, with over 60,000 annual operations.The airport has 15 businesses, which generate about 75 jobs. All the commercial facilities are aviation oriented except one, Bob's Cafe. Many pilots from all over Southern California come to Corona just to eat breakfast and lunch at Bob's, as do many residents and business people. Bob's is especially known as the place to go for a real power breakfast.Because the airport is located on Army Corps of Engineers land and is used for recreational flying only, it is under the jurisdiction of the Parks and Community Services Department. Throughout the years the Airport has been operated at no cost to the taxpayers. All revenues to operate and maintain it are generated through rental fees and state grants. A major priority is that the airport continue to be self-sustaining.The Corona Municipal Airport, located at the corner of Smith Street and Butterfield Road, just north of the Butterfield Park, has a small-town charm where people are quick to smile and call each other by first name. Many pilots and non-pilots alike have dubbed it the "friendliest little airport in the world." During the daylight hours our gates are open to all visitors. All we ask is that people stay off the taxiway and runway and stay alert, remembering that aircraft always have the right-of-way.

In November 2000, the Corona Heritage Foundation became the worthy proprietors. By December 2000, the first phase of the 10,000 sq. ft. Corona Heritage Museum was opened in what once was the 1937 company store.Local artists clamored to fill the fine art gallery. Studio space was lent to professionals in trade for their commitments to provide culture and education to the community. Children began to learn painting, sculpture and theory. Suddenly Corona had a museum with the promise of enrichment beyond anything available before.The scope and range of possibilities for what Corona Heritage Park can provide is sweeping. A home for history and preservation, a center for art and culture, and a place that simply says this is what Corona is all about, past, present and future.
