Just a few miles east of San Diego lies the community of Lemon Grove, a diverse mix of more than 27,000 residents who enjoy all the charm of small-town living with the conveniences of big-city proximity. The City of Lemon Grove was incorporated in 1977 and officially became California’s 414th municipality on July 1, 1977. Now in its 41st year of service, Lemon Grove leadership is working harder than ever to secure a stable future for the City. A city with unique historic roots, Lemon Grove still exhibits community pride and spirit in our modern era, boasting about having the "Best Climate on Earth", its motto for more than 100 years. Centrally located in the southwest portion of San Diego County, Lemon Grove is only nine miles from downtown San Diego, and only 12 miles from the airport.

The City of Lemon Grove is committed to providing residents with top-quality services. Among these services is the maintenance and care of 8 smoke and alcohol-free public parks for the enjoyment of residents and visitors. Parks provide diverse opportunities for physical activity and relaxation as well as a space for social gatherings and informal social interaction. Lemon Grove is home to several signature events. The annual summer Concerts and Movies in the Park are beloved by the community in addition to the Community Bonfire, now in its 22nd year of celebration.

The City's youngest residents are served through the popular Day Camp program which offers several sessions for the youth throughout the year. Camp is supervised by well-trained, caring and enthusiastic recreation leaders who always put the safety of campers first.
