We felt so relaxed when we were there and even took a nap! Unfortunately, we were woken up by the summer breeze. It can be quite chilly in the day if you're napping under a tree.

Hands down one of the cleanest, most convenient parks in the Irvine area!…read more There are several baseball fields, tons of gated tennis courts, playgrounds for the kids, countless picnic areas that are numbered for parties and gatherings. I think what makes this park stand out is the crowd. Any park can be beautiful but, without the proper maintenance from the park crew (and most importantly the park goers) it doesn't stand a chance. You see tons of regulars here with their dogs, families, kids. Everyone is friendly and respectful of one another. The dog crowd at this park is also one of the best I've seen. Although the park is not off leash, there's wide open areas for you to allow your fur family to play catch, run around, and have a bit of freedom! They do have a couple of posts that have doggie bags however, they run out quick so please do come prepared with your own poop bags just in case! There are plenty of water fountains throughout with water filling stations attached, so don't forget a bowl for your fur family!!

BEST PLACE FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY! My son had the time of his…read morelife here with his friends and family. We viewed the place with manager, Alan, then rented online for the full court for 2 hours. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner ( who was so welcoming and kind). We used the party room upstairs which was soooo spacious, nicely designed, clean and well equipped with benches for viewing, a kitchen, sink, counter space for food and drinks and even kids chairs and TV. Also we could play music while the kids played basketball. I give the place a solid 10 out of 10. They also have basketball leagues for kids. We will definitely be back!

The facility itself is cool, modern, and clearly designed with basketball lovers in mind. The GM Alan was amazing to work with--super responsive, helpful, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a fun, unique, and hoop-friendly place to host a party, this is it! Highly recommend!

I believe climbing on it might have a price, but it also might be free now. Im most interested in checking out what else we can do here.

The two times that I have come in and then ask for the workers to set up a badminton net it was obvious that they were reluctant and annoyed. Especially today. I came in today around 1pm and checked in. After coming in, I asked for them to set up a badminton court, and I could tell right away that all the three girls were annoyed. One of the girls that I was directly talking to asked, "Did you check yet" in a rude tone. Which is fair considering I came in and just asked for it right away. But even when telling them that my friend that was already in there checked, they still were annoyed and looked like they couldn't believe me. They only started setting up when another person came by to ask to set up the net. I get that it's just a part time job, but these workers have some attitude doing a job that they signed up for.

Not very hygienic. I was under the impression that The two gentlemen in the clubhouse did not care and wanted us to dump the trash bags into the dumpster afterwards, which is fine, (and they weren't going to facilitate or lift the finger ) but there was trash - semi full and it would be really cool if they took out the trash bins to wash them out or had some type of antibacterial spray to use. - they didn't and it seem like they just didn't care. It could've easily been a five star review, but wasn't.
