I love every squirrel I see and meet on the trail. I love to see the ducks and the trees and other animals I see on the path. The people are pretty friendly too. Sometimes there are also events including recreations, fairs or concerts. This park is a local city park but it is the size of a regional park, and bigger than some regional parks. They have 3 sets of restrooms along the walking path with three water fountains. At least one of the fountains I see has a fountain for dogs. If any of my OC Yelpers do a Pokemon Go community day here, please hit me up. ***Please listen to the song I am parodying, "Girls In Cars" by Robbie Dupree.*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSHJc59jm6s&list=RDSSHJc59jm6s&start_radio=1 While you are reading my song parody portion of my review below.

I've been coming to Inspiration Point for many years, and I still enjoy it every time I visit…read more I usually bring my dog here for a walk so She can enjoy the ocean breeze and watch the sunset with me. Sometimes I bring a blanket, sit on the grass, and bring some food to have a little picnic. It's a simple thing, but I always enjoy spending time here with the ocean view and the sound of the waves. I also like that they have bags available the area in case you need to clean up after your dog. I noticed there is a one of stations near the end of the street where you can grab them. From here, you can walk down toward little Corona del Mar and get closer to the beach. You can also walk on the sand, but personally I prefer staying up here because it feels cleaner and more convenient when I don't need to go down to the beach. Street parking is available nearby, but you may need to drive around a little to find a spot for parallel parking.

Wonderful summer spot for families with YOUNG KIDS!!!…read more Lots of different ways to play: Large grass area Lagoon/bay with sand and seashells Playground with lots of slides There are also lots of PICNIC TABLES at this location so it's easy to set up for breakfast or lunch. It's a very fun and safe environment for our kids and makes our summers days more fun! Our 3 year old enjoys the playground and the lagoon too. You have to PAY FOR PARKING but that's pretty normal for Newport Beach. We usually find parking very easily near here. Also, there are PUBLIC RESTROOMS and showers to rinse off available inside & next to the "lighthouse" - another thing that makes this spot easier with kiddos!

Marina Park is a community and sailing center. It is a great spot for kids to play or for walking your dog because of its large grassy area. I enjoy looking at all of the boats docked in the marina when I walk through the park. There is a mini decorative lighthouse in the park that has restrooms and a tube slide for kids to slide down. Marina Park offers many amenities like kayak and stand-up paddle boarding rentals. There is a playground, basketball court and an outdoor fitness area. Lighthouse Bayside Café is a restaurant in the park that has great views of the marina. There is a on-site pay lot for parking at Marina Park or park at a nearby street meter. Newport Pier and the beach are just a short walk away.

Seems like a good park for older kids, but it's just okay for toddlers…read more Pros: Plenty of parking. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Large grassy areas. Clean. Picnic benches. Interesting play structure with tons of climbing (almost like a mini ropes course) for older kids. Cons: No bathroom. No shade. The playground says it's for ages 2-12, but there's hardly anything there for a 2-3 year old, so you quickly run out of things to do. The toddler play structure is tiny, and the older kids' play structure is inaccessible for toddlers because of all the climbing required to get on it.

Google maps takes you to library. Long story short spent 45 minutes walking around looking for this place. Only to finally arrive and it is closed!!!!

We found this garden through…read moresearching for photogenic spots in the area, and it was perfect for a short but serene stroll. - PARKING - Lots of parking as it's right next to the Huntington Beach Libary! - ENVIRONMENT - Beautiful field of grass that surrounds a lake. There are several park benches for you to sit and enjoy the view and weather. Lots of geese and squirrels running around that aren't scared of people at all - they're probably used to being fed! The garden has a pretty archway designating the start of the garden. - EXPERIENCE - It only takes about 10 minutes to walk through the entire garden, depending if you stop and take photos! There are a variety of flowers and greenery inside, and I love how calm it is. We took family photos outside the garden as there were more bloomed flowers. I hope the inside of the garden continues to bloom throughout springtime!

This park is legit!! Definitely stop by…read more Clean bathrooms (especially if you use the ones inside the library -- yes, there's a library ). There's a kids' area inside, and honestly as an adult, it's clutch when it gets too hot outside because you have a nice indoor space to cool off. Outside, there are cool zip-line style swings, play areas for both younger and older kids, and plenty of shaded spots. Major bonus points for no woodchips -- huge win. The library also has fun music exploration activities, which was a pleasant surprise. Plus, there are easy food options nearby, so you don't have to overthink meals. Parking was easy for me, though I can see it getting tricky during busier times. And to top it off, there's a nice boba spot close by, which always seals the deal Great family-friendly park with thoughtful details -- we'll definitely be back.
