Since its incorporation in 1960, the unprecedented growth of San Dimas has transformed the City from an essentially rural area to a well-balanced community offering industrial, commercial, and residential living. In addition to the 1,700 acre Frank G. Bonelli Recreational Area which lies within the City boundaries, there are many parks such as San Dimas Canyon Park, a city-owned golf course (San Dimas Canyon Golf Club), and over 27 miles of equestrian trails for riding. The city services include an extensive recreational program for youth and for senior citizens, and the City boasts a new modern City Hall, with excellent provisions made for County Sheriff and Fire Departments, along with a fine Los Angeles County Library and Engineering Regional Office.

Town Core Design Standards
Downtown San Dimas is a prime example of the traditional American town center, dominated by a short but prominent main street. Surrounding the historic downtown is a “Town Core” area comprised of numerous historic homes, businesses, and churches.
As a follow-up to the 1991 historic survey, the City hired a local architect to prepare design guidelines to help building owner’s to preserve and rehabilitate these historic buildings. The Town Core Design Guidelines were adopted by City Council in 1993.
