Nice lake to walk around and get some nature in for the day. I wanted something little kids and 2…read moreseniors could do and this was the perfect location that felt like there was a lot of interesting things to see but not too overly safe and fenced off from nature. Parking is easy with a large lot right next to the lake, opposite of the lake are some hiking trails if you have more time. It's a nice loop going around with some different areas along the way such as a small creek, reeds near the shore, and some water works that looks like they have been turned off or no longer function. Even in Winter there are a lot of different birds around. My kids loved following and chasing the large pelicans in the lake. You can fish here and there are children's fishing competitions. Just keep in mind to have a permit because when we went there was a police officer checking and ticketing people.

Nice place for a stroll. It's no LA Arboretum but this 26-acre garden is free and more of an…read morearboretum on a college campus than a standalone. I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen for awhile and it was the perfect place to catch up during a walk around of the garden. I loved the pond with the lily pads and turtles, and the Heritage House surrounded by orange trees and roses. I was impressed by the amount of orange trees. It reminds you of why they call it Orange County. If I went to school here I'd be here probably once a week. Otherwise it's great to come if you live in the OC.

I'm not sure…read moreabout the weekdays, but my boyfriend and I came during the weekend and parking was free when we went to pay at the ticket stations. Yay! From the parking lot it was easy to follow the signs along to the garden. The garden had areas that represented Woodlands, Mediterranean, Dessert, and a Cultivated Collection. There were walking paths but I still recommend closed toed shoes since it's a bit sandy. They had many benches throughout for resting or handing out and admiring nature. We spent about an hour here, but to be fair I'm not that into nature. I GOT A BUG BITE and it swelled and was super itchy. Sigh. I think someone who super loved nature or wanted to take their time to hang out could take 2-3 admiring all the plant life. My FAVORITE moments here was when we came across wildlife. My favorite were the rabbit, turtle, and crane. It's beautiful. Great spot to get some steps in and absorb some sunlight.

It is small, but the view is terrific and there are lots of trees to provide shade on a hot summer day. We pulled into the parking lot, i reclined my seat and enjoyed the view from my truck while I listened to the birds. A good place to recharge.

Lots of people walking dogs, there are trash cans, a few benches and picnic tables. Somewhat peaceful but lots of traffic right off the main roads. Parking here is very tight, only a few spaces, but the park is so small no one stays long. There are also no restrooms at all.

Plenty of picnic tables and room still available throughout the park. This time we parked inside as we wanted to explore deeper in. Walked around the pond which is about a 10 minute walk or so. Lots of large open space here and sport fields/areas if you're interested in that as well.

The paths are concrete surrounded by green grass and rolling hills. some paths are flat throughout. I took a pathway along the river, which turned into a lake. The birds were plentiful. It was hopping with people; folks getting their steps in, like me. Moms, toddlers and strollers, and people walking dogs. The grounds were well tended. Healthy and lush grass. The trees are mature and plentiful. I read there is fishing, including catfish. There are several play areas for the kiddos.

Not a lot of parking here but they do have picnic tables and a cute park area and you can also bring ride on things, skateboards, scooters and bikes. It's a spacious park big inviting and pretty. They have some shade because they have a lot of trees, but it's nice to bring an easy up for birthdays because it does get quite hot out there. But I do love this park. It's pretty nice big and lots of plant area for the kids. I would recommend checking this out. It's nice for picnics too. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha

This was a nice little park we decided to visit on the whim. It seemed to be well-maintained and…read morehad several slides! We went around 5:30 on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, probably about 4 other kids there. Like I said, I really liked how many slides there were-- in the small kid area there were 4 (one being a double slide, so 5) and the bigger kid side had 2 taller slides. My kid had fun playing on both sides. They also have swings and a cool little gyro-spinning thing for the kids. We did visit the bathroom while there and it was pretty no frills, but several rolls of toilet paper and some hand soap outside, so that was a plus. This park also has a little grassy patch that people were playing frisbees in and possibly disc golf. All in all, this park was very nice!

I was hoping this park would have a smaller footprint or to be more grand in size, but it was still a good park. I did enjoy my walk around the park. Went around twice, since it wasn't a huge place - you have to actually make up your own route to get a good workout. But they also have an outdoor workout area. I think I'll have to try those out on my next visit. I did like sitting on one of their benches on the other end of the pond. And lots of parking, depending which lot you enter from.
