Yorba Park — Attraction in Orange

Optimal location of this open space park, conveniently located by the 55 Freeway, Chapman Av. and the paved portion of the Santiago Creek Bike Trail. I may stop here to take a break from riding for a few minutes. I’ve also seen medical personnel and guests here from the facilities across the street on their breaks.

The park is closed on Wednesdays.

The park easily floods and will not be open if it has recently rained or been overly damp.

There is plenty of parking and the park is easily accessible by being right next to the free way and...

I personally love going to this dog park. I bring the dog I pet sit for to this park on weekday mornings. The best time to go is before 11am; there are a bunch of great regular that go and there are fewer questionable / problem dogs that go. The later in the day you go, the higher the likelihood there will be some sturcrazy problem starting dogs = dog fights. I use to work at the veterinary hospital down the street, and on average, we would get at least 1 dog every few weeks (after 5pm) that was attacked...
