Ronald Reagan Park — Attraction in Anaheim

To me the place looked like nothing more than some large, mowed-grass fields, a play area with a multiplicity of swings, slides, and other things to bounce around on, swing from, climb on, jump from, and play on, along with some bathrooms, drinking fountains, small recreation buildings, and shade trees all attached to a parking lot, but the kids seemed to like the place well enough and ran around from playground thing to playground thing, overloaded with possibilities without actually exploring any one of them properly. We were told of this park by a new neighbor who had only been in our 'hood for a month and she told us the high-light is the "zip line." It's not really a proper zip-line per se. There is none of the danger, release-forms, or safety harnesses normally associated with proper zip-lines, but rather a 14" disk one can sit on suspended by a covered chain hung on a track with rollers that simulates what would normally be considered very short zip-line. It's probably good for kids as an introduction to some of the hazards that await them when they become adults, but to call it a zip-line is a bit of a stretch. Regardless, they swung around on it like drunken monkeys with big smiles on their faces laughing the whole time. Other kids did something similar, as if some grand conspiracy was afoot that all the kids were in on, while the adults were helpless, only able to smile, wave, encourage, and take pictures of the whole sordid affair. I deducted a star because the play area ground was made up of wood-ship mulch rather than the spongy rubber stuff other playgrounds are made out of. I like the rubber spongy stuff. It doesn't get in your...

Toyon is a name for the spiky evergreen shrub plant that is common off-trail all throughout SoCal. Little red or white berries grow on it and with the spiky leaves it looks like holly. Hollywood got it's name from this plant, as did Toyon Park.

Toyon Park has been named Ronald Reagan Park since 2011, but many of us original owners in the area ignore the name change. We took walks here with our sweetheart. Later, we played on the jungle gyms with our children. We walked our dogs here. The name doesn't change for us.

This park is on a plateau area overlooked by the Summit Park community. The park, in turn, overlooks a wild area which has both horsetrails and a creek wending through it. If you go exploring, be wary of poison oak (and toyon)!

The playground is very spacious and it got all new jungle gyms and swingsets in 2017. The parking is close and safe. The bathrooms are well-lit and last I checked the stalls DO have doors. There are well-kept sporting fields across from a general-play field and there is a basketball court. The people who play on the court tend to be friendly and won't mind if you asked to play with them.

The party shelter is the only shade other than a few trees. Be sure to bring...

Very active park, located at close the end of weir canyon road, this park is huge has two main fields for outdoor activities, and has an entry to some cool trails for hiking. Busy at times but nice views. Really don't like the 5g towers that have warning signs saying radiation zone, but all ages and kids are playing on the field. When people start developing all these medical problems, good place to start looking for how they developed this issue will be those devices. I have to stay away from that corner of the park, I start feeling weird and head starts to ache. May have a sensitivity to being blasted with radiation or something. But be warned, problem is they are hidden in plain sight or actually camouflaged on purpose. You have to remember something, unfortunately the parks management doesn't answer to the citizens or community, they answer to the corporations that install devices that are harmful to humans and place them where children practice sports and trying to stay healthy....
