Derek’s Yard Care

The bright flurry of violins and the ominous timbre of the cellos are just a few of the sounds you will hear once the conductor raises his baton over the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra. This highly accomplished group of musicians works hard to bring the best of the classics to audiences in San Bernardino year round. Some of their most notable presentations have been the Orchestral Treasures series, Tchaikovsky's Finest, as well as various seasonal favorites like The Nutcracker.

Quite often, you get that feeling that you need to “get out” for a bit to clear your head and get some fresh air. San Bernardino offers plenty of excellent outdoor destinations to do just that, and one of the most picturesque is Littlefield/Shultis Park. This inviting area features plenty of lush greenery that adorns its impressive 15 acres. The park also features 15 park benches, 2 playground areas, a 35-mile walking track and 2 picnic areas. So if you want to make a whole day of it or just want a natural setting during your lunch break, the Littlefield/Shultis Park is the perfect destination!

For the urban cowboy (or cowgirl) in everyone, there's the Brandin' Iron Saloon and Dance Hall. This charmingly rustic nightlife spot is one of those places that could have been the setting for the famous “Urban Cowboy” movie. The venue features various live country bands, dance lessons and the ever-popular mechanical bull that always attracts plenty of takers. There is also a delicious dinner menu available, too.
