Irvine Terrace Park — Attraction in Newport Beach

This is a wonderful park and I'd recommend to any parents of children looking to have some playground fun outdoors.

The park is large with a vast open grass field, lots of shade trees, a large playground area with climbing structures and swings, some benches and several picnic tables. Located on a hilltop, there is an ocean view from the playground. There are also tennis courts and restroom facilities, but I didn't use either of these so can't comment on those. The park was very well maintained and clean. The playground equipment appeared new and was in great condition.

I took my 4 year old son and 9 year old daughter to this park one afternoon while vacationing in Newport Beach area from out of state. We had done beach, tide pools, theme park and Balboa Pier/Fun Zone/Island and were looking for some nice playground to exercise and enjoy the beautiful weather. This park and playground were awesome. Both my 4 year old and 9 year old loved it, but my daughter did comment that more swings would be nice. There were lots of other children and mothers at the playground area, I assumed mostly locals. We went on a Friday afternoon and there was ample street parking.

Summer and field again closed as soccer ruins the locals playground. Go away soccer please. Nobody wants thier fields torn up...

If you have really little kids, avoid this park. There is a small play structure, but if your kid is anything like mine they will go straight for the gigantic play structure that will give you an instant panic attack. It has extremely steep stairs and several openings on the sides that they can easily fall from. Aside from that, it's really clean and in a quiet area with...
