Colton’s Fiesta Village to Close After Half a Century of Fun

Fiesta Village Family Fun Park in Colton, California, will close permanently after more than 50 years due to rising operating costs and declining attendance; opened in 1974 and run by Michelle and Patrick O'Brien since 2002, the park grew from mini-golf and go-karts to amusements like rides, laser tag and a roller-skating rink; last public days were July 10–11, and owners said they couldn't find a buyer, leaving generations with memories of field trips and birthday parties.
