What makes a park really stand out is its connection tho the community it resides in.
It is easy to construct a park for the purpose of having a park, but it is more difficult and says more about the park when the park becomes a symbol of the community and a place where gatherings and events can take place. Sheep Hills Park excels in these areas, serving as a beacon for the Laguna Hills community and offering a wonderful place for families to enjoy their mornings or afternoons.
The main park consists of a wide open field of green natural grass with a baseball field towards the back end of the park and soccer goals just before that. There is then a quaint playground area that many children enjoy with multiple slides, swings, and a jungle gym to explore. Parents can watch from close by from one of the many benches and tables placed nearby.
Right next to the Playground is a large hill which connects to the communities nearby; the hill is a great way to get a workout in for those of you looking to burn a few calories.
The most often enjoyed aspect of the park is the large cement sidewalk "track" that rings around the fields and acts as a great path for walking alone or with a friend. Feel free to take a pet with as well, as the park is very dog friendly!
Going with the theme of community, it is worth noting that the park hosts little league soccer and baseball games on some Saturdays and Sundays, making the grills on-site a great option for a wonderful picnic.
The only con worth mentioning is the small amount of parking available. Visitors who do not live nearby will have to park near the back of the park by the adjacent road, as the local community does not enjoy park goers parking in spaces reserved for home owners.

Read moreThis park is really great for soccer players and people who enjoy walking with a view. It has no parking lot, which allows it to be extremely clean. Your choices of parking are limited to along Laguna Hills Dr and on other side of park near neighborhood. Best to googlemap it check satelite photo too. The grass is beautiful and trimmed down low, there's a small playground and a hillside on neighborhood parking area. The hillside has a nice sidewalk to walk toward the park, great for rolling down a hill on grass. Just watch out for a few doggie leftovers on the grass, by nonmindful dog owners. Beautiful park, love all the Oak trees. About 30 min drive from JUSA office off La Palma Ave.
Need to be careful where signs state permit parking only and no parking between...
