This park is relatively new as parks go, dating to the late 90's. So all of the fixtures and buildings are modern. It has a very large green athletic field, ample parking and gravel / dirt walking, jogging & biking paths that go either around the field or split off through a green belt on the far side of the main entrance. Rest rooms are close by the main entrance. I don't know much about the Sports Center building at the back of the park, but I've read it has a full size indoor basketball court. The building is quite nice and the surrounding landscaping is striking!
There is also a path that parallels the Santiago Creek with a pleasant view. A biking trail starts just past the park but connects all the way over to Hart park on the edge of Old Town Orange!
Great place for kids with a wonderful playground, a sand volleyball court, plenty of cast iron charcoal barbecue grills (bring your own cleaning utensils and briquettes).
There all always people about and it's clean and feels safe. It's also "dog friendly" so you don't have to leave the...
Read moreI lived next to this park for several years and most of that was during the pandemic. This park was one of the few outlets during that time. If you play Pokémon go this park is amazing tons of stops and it has a walking tack that if you do laps will help with hatching eggs and keeping accurate distance with it.
As a park it has a lot of great park things there are also a trail that links into the riverbed and to further adventures into the other local parks and connects it to even the main place mall. If you go the opposite direction you wind up going a trail that takes you under the street and you will find yourself at the local water reservoir across the street the park which has a walking trail that you can take up into the hills
There is a especially pretty place in the river bed trail just behind that park that has a stone circle around a great tree that is a wonderful place to meditate in the busy city and feel like you are away and...
Read moreWho the hell designed this park? Must be a newby. Walking and jogging path! Hot and sunny! One park bench under some trees! That's, one park bench under some trees. The kids playground is conveniently located near a large busy road. The really neat sports building is located in the very back part of the park. Actually the rear of the building is located near the Santiago creek bike trail and a bridge to channel locals and homeless to the rear of the building attracting vandals to destroy the very same building. This is all evidenced by reading the signs in back stating so! Yes they have problems and have to have cameras monitoring the area. All in all, I guess it's ok. Hart park is more what I think of when you say park. Or Hillcrest in fullerton. Whom ever was responsible for designing this park, got it backwards! It's going to cost the city more now to deal with this. Hopefully the responsible parties were dealt...
