Craig Regional Park — Attraction in Fullerton

At first glance this is a great park. Beautiful scenery, well maintained, clean for the most part with lots of wildlife. The park rangers and park staff have been kind and helpful for the most part. There is a major problem at this park, that is deeply disturbing and I no longer feel safe bringing my children to this park. Other parents should be aware: Last Tuesday I was walking the park with my kids when I was approaching a hill above G lot where there was a homeless man drinking and exposing himself to kids urinating under the gazebo while facing the below playground!! My children were with me, and were exposed to this.. as were other children and parents below on the playground. (Aside from the point of this man exposing himself to children, THERE WAS A BATHROOM RIGHT BELOW NEAR THE PLAYGROUND!! NO EXCUSE!!! THERE ARE BATHROOMS ALL OVER THIS PARK AS WELL) After this happened I immediately alerted park staff who I spoke to twice about what had happened and was assured they would take care of it and alert the park ranger. Fast forward to today almost a week later, I come back and THE SAME homeless man is back AT THE SAME GAZEBO hanging out near the playground, but this time he brought a friend! On the way back to my car I notice the park ranger drove by the man twice and did nothing. I doubt the park rangers would allow this activity if it were around their kids or grandkids. It's very sad this is such a nice park and this predatory behavior Is allowed and in front of kids at that. SO WEIRD...

I absolutely love coming to this park. It is like an escape from reality because of how beautiful and peaceful it is to come here.

Parking is available here but for a fee since it is a Regional Park. However, if you do not want to pay, there is parking at the front entrance, on the other side of the park by Bastanchury, and within the neighborhood on the side as well. Just be prepared to walk a little farther than usual if you plan to park in these areas since most of the contents of the park are further inside.

The contents of the park are splendid. There is a jungle gym, a small lake, scattered picnic tables, some gazebos, a bridge, a baseball field, and numerous other amenities that help accommodate any visit here. Dogs are also welcome here so expect other little furry friends to be walking around alongside here.

There is also plenty of wildlife here. I have seen my fair share of beautiful birds like pelicans, herons, duck, goose, and a handful of other birds. Just be careful if you have a furry friend as they might try to eat or rub themselves into the feces of said birds.

There is plenty of shade to just lay on the grass to come here for a picnic. But if that is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of tables, parking lots, and benches to set up shop on for a party, little get together or just to come eat your lunch.

This a really large and long park, so coming here for a daily stroll or to job around is recommend as one round around the park is just enough for...

Craig Regional Park is an absolute favorite, especially for families! My son absolutely loves the varied and undulating environment this park offers.

From the moment you enter, you have choices: head left for a hilly path lined with numerous pine trees, or go right down a slope towards a river. As you venture further into the park, you'll discover a beautiful lake, expansive lawns, various hiking trails, and even a wetland area.

The park boasts three playgrounds, along with baseball fields, basketball courts, and racquetball courts. It truly caters to almost any activity you'd want to do in a park, whether it's hiking, sports, kids' play, or even parties.

A highlight for us is the deeper exploration: if you keep walking into the park, you'll eventually reach Fullerton Dam. From there, you can follow the dam through a wooded area and across a grassy field, which conveniently loops back to the baseball field parking lot.

Parking is very convenient here, with ample space both in lots and along the roadside. Restrooms are well-distributed throughout the park, and a thoughtful touch is that some of them provide pine resin-removing hand soap, which is incredibly helpful if kids get sticky from picking up pinecones!

Craig Regional Park is a fantastic destination offering diverse landscapes and amenities for a full day of outdoor enjoyment. Highly...
