Bonita Creek Park Community Center — Attraction in Newport Beach

A serene and well maintained park located near the Back Bay of Newport Beach, I stopped in after my haircut to jog a 5k on the Back Bay trail before my first half marathon later this weekend in Long Beach. Having done a short residency in this neighborhood last year at around this same time, I continue to feel comfortable popping in occasionally for a recreational jog, a haircut, a magnificent sunset view, or some Baskin Robbins caramel macchiato ice cream...do not tell my keto coaches. 😉 The soccer fields were adorned with a league getting in some practice time and there were others having a picnic and several professional dog walkers handling their afternoon clients.

Stop by if you want to join a club, any ages...

Well-lit at night and the roads were just repaved around the park, as I write 4igs review. It's a great place to take the doggos, walk, play basketball, baseball, soccer, etc. There are also a lot of paved paths around leading to Back Bay and other large...
