    This is a lovely park! It's vast, clean and has unique structures including a tree house with chairs and a view. A lot of the climbing structures are different and challenge kids to think outside the box and be active. There is also a toddler area and swings. There is a lot of grassy area as well as a concrete pathway for strollers. Highly recommend it!

    Came here last weekend for their Lunar New Year celebration. They had ample parking a little ways away, with lots of shuttle buses and golf carts to take you to the park. We only expected to stay for a little bit to check it out, but we ended up staying for hours! They had lion dancers, crafts, and live music. The park itself was awesome for kids. Lots of playground equipment for kids of all ages to play on. Nice big open grassy area for running around. And the bbq/clubhouse area was very modern and nice. They had a pizza oven and a tandoori oven for pete's sake! The clubhouse had a fair amount of seating. And as a bonus, they were handing out tangerine Eos lip balms, embossed with "Great Park Neighborhoods" presumably because it looks like the orange balloon. Cute touch.

    A brand new playground has popped up in Irvine, but this one undoubtedly sets itself apart from the rest. The modern meets fairy tale architecture known as Beacon Park dons a massive tree house, a variety of sandless play areas, and accommodates kids of all ages. It's pretty awesome! The best time to come is in the early morning or late afternoon. I went at noon and unless you're inside or directly under the tree house, shade is hard to come by here. Which seems to be the case for almost all parks in Irvine....I wish the Irvine Company would realize that and maybe eliminate some barbecues and replace them with tarps for the playgrounds. The play areas are filled with rubber wood chips that provide extra cushion for any fall. The Tot Lot has a netted tire swing, toddler swings, children's swings, a tunnel, and turf. The play areas for the older kids have a tarp slide, ropes to swing on, and obstacle courses. There are plenty of places to sit and observe but this park is not gated and close to the street so keep an eye on the little ones. My favorite part of the park was the water fountain station that fills up water bottles above and an area for dogs to drink below. The grass area is vast and lined with windy pathways that are perfect for strollers or chasing toddlers. The drought friendly landscape includes fragrant herbs and colorful succulents. There is a parking lot near the pool and also plenty of spaces on the street. It's free to get in!

    This is a really cool neighbourhood park. The play equipment is a bit different from your bog standard, which is great. They have a big net structure for older kids to play on and they also have a small tot lot - which doesn't have a ton of things, but enough to keep littles amused. There is also a big deck with seats nestled up in a tree. Awesome spot for reading or chilling. To get to the play area you have to walk from the car park on grass, there is no path, so it's not very stroller friendly. There are also hardly any benches or tables near the play equipment, so nowhere for parents to sit or leave bags etc. while playing. This is a private park, and they have a security guy motoring round on his segway. I didn't see any toilets.

    We enjoyed ourselves at this awesome park. So many things to do for the kiddos. Tree house, slide, trampoline slide, swings, art and crafts room that's air conditioned, an area with bean bags and books, large chess set, bocce, basketball, balls all over the field, and toddler area. We spent quite a bit of time here and the kids had a ton of fun.

    Cigar buds INSIDE the venue. This is the sh*t we were left to clean up before my sons 3rd bday = children's party. Classy

    We are residents in the neighborhood and rented out the Beacon Park clubhouse this past Saturday 11/30/19 for my son's 3rd birthday. Upon arrival after the pre inspection, this place was a complete DISASTER from the party before. Apparently there was an inspection the night before but WE are responsible for the previous party's mess. The bathroom was a mess, there were food crumbs and drink spills all over the venue, several cigar buds left inside, YES INSIDE and outside, two trays of food in the parking lot, and shattered beer bottles in the parking lot. Our party planner found the food trays and broken beer bottles when she arrived to set up for the party and cleaned it up herself while tending to her children ! Imagine how embarrassing this was. We had to clean this sh*t up with kids around us. One of the people working there apologized and told us she would find a way to reimburse us for our troubles. We understood as she seemed empathetic and understanding. We spent TWO hours before setting up for the party cleaning this place when we could have used this time to set up. This was difficult to do while tending to a toddler and having to take on unexpected extra tasks to clean up after something we should have never been responsible for to begin with! We also were required to hire a security guard to pay $30 per hour to have alcohol in the party in which we did. We paid him for 3-10pm before his shift but only needed him till 8pm in the end as the party ended earlier than we intended but we we're still not reimbursed for the remaining two hours. We were not reimbursed at all but instead they CHARGED us $150 from our deposit because we forgot to change the trash liner in the bathroom and because of a couple crumbs left by the doorway. The venue was left completely spotless compared to the way we entered upon arrival. The security guard on duty was on a major power trip and had a nasty attitude towards us and was nitpicking us on the smallest things even though we respectfully followed the orders he asked of us. He was offended when we asked if there was an inspection the night before since it was a complete mess and he got defensive and said HE did the inspection and claimed it as spotless. We didn't feed into his bad attitude and harassment as badly as I wanted to put him in place since the previous worker who saw the condition said she would do what she can to make sure we get reimbursed somehow and apologized several times. He was so hostile in front of my family and small children present for no reason. The management running this place will say anything to try to squeeze more money out of you! I don't even understand what they are doing with all the money they receive to rent out this space-- it needs some serious deep cleaning! The way management handled this matter after we have fully cooperated with the condition we had to deal with is completely dishonest and inhumane and left a bad taste in my mouth. They treated their own residents of their community with disrespect and dishonesty. The people running this place are nice to you when they are collecting your money, but the minute they collect it from you they treat you like garbage. Whoever is running this establishment needs to be fired immediately. Do not consider moving to this community. We have lived in irvine for years and have rented club houses in quail hill and los alivos over the years to host our events and have never dealt with such dishonesty and utter disrespect. We have always been respectful of the venue/clubhouses we rent from and have never dealt with such hostility. You guys, this is how they treat residents that actually LIVE HERE. How disgusting is that. NEVER AGAIN. Thanks for ruining my son's 3rd birthday with your unprofessionalism and incompetence.

    Apparently this is a "private park" which is pretty rude, but the architecture is fabulous ! I drove 30 minutes to come to this park with my son and it's worth it! Really cool playground love the treehouse

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!!

The park features a flower garden with a fountain near its center. Beyond that are several picnic shelters amidst an elaborate children's playground. Further on, there is a large expanse of grass area amidst soccer fields, base ball diamond and tennis courts. There are paved walk paths through out the complex that winds up and down the various terrains. Overall it's a nice place to enjoy a leisure walk!

    Heritage Community Park is a nice place to come. I happened to be here on a mid Saturday in…read moreSeptember 2026. It was an unexpected stop, but it was nice to just chill out and enjoy the Irvine community. I was here at Heritage Community Park for about 2 1/2 hours. After having brunch with my family at the Broken Yolk Café - Irvine after taking the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner from LAX, we ended up here after swinging by the house and picking up their tennis gear and headed here for warm ups and tennis matches. It was nice to just sit here and watching my nephew play tennis and remind myself that I used to play tennis, but never got any good because I never really was good to begin with lol. I just loved to serve hard. In any case, I spent a large chunk of my time here at Heritage Park watching him play 3 matches over the course of 2 1/2 hours. The day got warm, so I found some shade near the tennis courts. I managed to nod off for 10 minutes while cooling off. It was cool to see the park and all the families that was here that morning and me being a tourist. It reminds me that I could still pick up tennis if I wanted to, hopefully I can find my tennis racquet somewhere in storage. It was also nice that there is restroom facilities here at Heritage Community Park too. The overall experience here at the Heritage Community Park here in Irvine, California was good and very nice after a day of travel from Honolulu to Los Angeles, and then a short trip to Irvine. The park itself isn't that large, but it does have a lot of tennis courts. My sister said Irvine community has a big tennis engagement thing and it shows that young people embrace it wholeheartedly. I thought that was pretty cool. The park itself is well maintained by the city of Irvine and there's a lot of trees everywhere to shield anyone and everyone from the heat during summer time and maybe the wind sheer during the winter months. From where I was, there wa at least 4 full sized tennis courts here and I was situated next to the parking lot. There wasn't much sitting areas to view, but I got lucky with a wall and shade from the trees. For the most part though, I ended up drifting off to sleep a few times, because I was jetlagged, but I was awake for most of the matches my nephew was in. Heritage Community Park is located in the heart of Irvine, California. There's also a spot for barbecues and soccer fields too. This park is particularly massive and I just stayed for the tennis matches. It's located in the heart of Irvine, California at 14301 Yale Avenue. Like all municipal parks, there's no admission fee to enter the park. Although there is rental fees associated with some on site equipment and things, majority of the park is free to enjoy with friends and family. As far as parking goes, there's a large and generous parking area for anyone and everyone who wishes to park here. And if you like public transportation, choose the routes that's best for you to get here to Heritage Community Park in Irvine. Never thought I'd be here to see people play tennis while on vacation, but here I was. It was cool and a nice change of pace when I am traveling. If you need that downtime and in Irvine, consider coming here to Heritage Community Park. Definitely will lift your spirits for a day or two. I'm happy that I saw my nephew play tennis. Hoping he'll make it to the pros someday. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+
