Nice park to have a stroll or to gather with a group to have a picnic here. There's the big lake part to this park, along with a section that's bombarded with picnic tables, in the most good way. The picnic area looks pretty clean and the trash bins look clean also. Plenty of grassy and pavement paths to walk through this park. There's also two playgrounds for the kids, so a family-friendly park. I enjoyed the greenery thoughout this park and the mini waterfalls by the lake area. There's also some short stairs here, if you'd like to work up on some cardio. There's like two main parking lots here, at least that's what I saw. I did see some homeless just resting on the grass area by the lake and street side. But they seem harmless, but they can be there if you visit that part of the park. But still a worthy park to go and visit. read more

Had a little picnic in the park, haven't been here since I had my dog Holly. Love this park, the water is beautiful, the trees they have a gorgeous bridge and playground for kids to play. They have ducks and places you can bbq. There was a wedding or something going on when arriving so it's a pretty busy day. It's absolutely gorgeous outside today so of course people want to enjoy the beautiful outdoors with their kids. Baby girl loves the swings so happy they have them here. Such a beautiful little park to take a nice little walk too. They have a guy selling fruit and then someone else came with cotton candy yay so got one for baby girl and I to share. I would absolutely recommend this park I also seen some of my yelp friends have come here too. I recommend checking this park out it's beautiful and sweet and the water is actually clean and beautiful. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone Aloha read more

We've been bringing our dogs here for almost 15 years now. Great place to get some exercise but be warned, there are some major hills so you'll build up some muscle! There is an area to go fishing, but you might want to avoid this area if you take your dog. The ground is pretty dirty, and birds are everywhere leaving their mark. Otherwise, the park is well kept, very green, and easy parking. It does get busy on the weekends, but never to the point we've decided to go elsewhere. read more

What a cute little park. It's always so peaceful when we come here and I appreciate that it is cleaner than most. I love the waterfalls and the cute little creek. Everything is so green and pretty and there are plenty of places to picnic. Compared to some of the other parks I have been to, this park doesn't have a gross amount of bird/duck poop. I did see a very interesting duck the last time I was there, it was reddish in color. The bridge with the fountain over the creek and the duck pond is adorable. The squirrels love to taunt my dog here. Benches near the lake to sit on and fishing is available, though we have yet to catch any. Parking is always easy. Also, there is a Del Taco across the street. read more

This park is very nice, but you do need to be careful with young kids or elderly near the water. Overall the park is clean and pleasant despite the fact that there are homeless people camping and hanging around at the park. There is a restroom facility closer to the main entrance side. The main parking lot is a bit of a distance from the large pond, but you can drive toward Short Street, and there is another small parking area next to the large pond by the residential condos/apartments. read more

I have loved this park for years - it has a lot of fabulous memories. There are sidewalk pathways to walk throughout. Lots of lush, green area to relax, have a picnic, party, play, or even roll down a hill. Bathrooms available. Lots of cool trees, brush, streams, bridges, 2 playground areas and a huge lake that gets stocked with live fish to enjoy. There are ducks, geese, turtles, and bunnies wandering around. It is such a feel good place to come and enjoy at. Decent sized parking lots and street parking available. read more

PERFECT park for kids to explore and spend useful development time. It's the kind of park that encourages creativity and "self-play" the most notable feature being a huge amount of waterworks and rivers with rocks that can be climbed on. The river empties into a huge lake but the more interesting part is the river and the mini waterfalls. Kids love crossing the river by jumping on the stones and finding bugs and wildlife near the water. There are also a lot of clam shells around the water. There are all sorts of hills, elevations, and pathways that are great for exercising and walking on. There are also 2-3 classic playgrounds but we spend much more time running around the water. There are a lot of ducks and geese, we feed them canned corn because bread is bad for them. If anyone knows if there is something better to feed ducks let me know! read more

Came on a whim with my dog Super loving this place! Located in a residential area kind of tucked away and may have driven by not knowing this place was here Street parking available 3 different parking lots (one off of bixby and butterfield) No fees for parking Dog friendly Party friendly Standing bbq pits Kid friendly - 2 to possibly 3 playgrounds Adult friendly Arrived a bit before 6:30am very quiet and serene. Felt safe and already a few folks walking the park and the pulling into the area. Very clean park. Lot of mature trees and shade provided. Plenty of ducks geese but surprisingly the pathways are well maintained and clean. There is lake to go fishing. Love the park benches made out of recycle material and signs hidden that y'all about the history of the area. Plenty of paces to walk and run and be out in the open. There high ground low ground some steep spots but not to challenging. Super dog friendly park easy to maneuver through. Not sure if I saw dog bag dispensers but please pick up after your dog with the various signs posted and just in general practice. Definitely a place to return to! Love this hidden gem! Great place to get recharged and the week going! read more

Was in city of Orange and promised the kids we'd stop by a park. Wanted to go to a nice park. Yelped a park and this one came up w 4.5 stars and a lake. This was the perfect park. Google maps took me past the entrance thru a neighborhood street so We had to you turn back. The address for the park was off Tustin. Went on a Thursday evening. Lots of people taking professional photography for quinceañeras & proms photo. It Has a pond w fountain & bridges. Great photo park Indeed. Lots of ducks & geese's too. We parked in the neighborhood street. They do have a small parking lot inside the park off Lincoln street, than you make a right after the 1st light into a neighborhood & another right into the 1st street. It'll lead you to the bigger lake pond off Lincoln street. Park has 2 playground with wood chips. There is also parking into the parking lot. Highly recommended with lots of tables around the playground area where we enjoyed our treat & drinks while kids play. read more

Eisenhower Park is a great place to get some outdoors time with the pup. Not only does it have a nice lake you can walk around, there's lots of geese, ducks, and other critters to gawk at along the way. For those that are looking for a place to enjoy the nice weather we have, there's a Starbucks across the street if you want to get some coffee, and plenty of picnic tables and green space if you're looking to do a semi-social gathering with friends safely. For the kiddos, there's a lot of space for them to run around, a play area, and plenty of little paved trails leading over bridges, stairs, and man-made water spots that hold more birds to look at. Just keep them close as there's a lot, and people like to feed them so they're not super scared of humans. There's ample of parking, but you just might have to look for it. If you're coming off Lincoln, there's a small lot near the houses, but if you proceed down Oceanview and make a right at Bixby, there's abundant street and lot parking available. It's a little tucked away, so it's easy to miss. read more

We absolutely love Eisenhower Park! Stumbled upon this area while grocery shopping near by and have been coming to this park almost weekly ever since. (My husband and I take our cats walking here every weekend - yep, we do that lol) Why we love it: 1. The park is nicely hidden away in the residential area yet close enough to the highway which makes it easy to access and low noise 2. Plenty of parking available - have never had issues finding parking 3. The park is always CLEAN and obviously taken care of 4. There are public restrooms, grills/picnic tables, and playgrounds available 5. Ducks, geese, and squirrels are super friendly and fun to watch 6. There is a lake on the far side of the park that is open for fishing - every weekend there a few individuals there. No shade though, so if you plan on fishing bring a hat/umbrella. The second parking lot is right next to the lake for easy access if you're only fishing and don't want to walk a long time with your gear. 7. Entire park has paved walkways so easy accessibly for wheelchairs & strollers read more

Eisenhower Park - Beautiful Waterfall. Peaceful vibe. - Parks Near Me - Orange, California

Beautiful giant park and lake. Really nice set up with tons of grass and shaded areas. There is a lot of parking surrounding the park. A stream that runs in the middle and lots of geese running around. Some people fish in the lake. This park seems to be used heavily for birthday parties on weekends and there is a lot of trash left behind. The grass and the bushes near the benches are covered with trash, plastic, confetti pieces, dried food pieces etc. Also some dog owners don't pick up after their dog. This park could be great if the city started handing out littering tickets. read more

Eisenhower Park is a great place to catch a quick stroll or just take in the sights of the lake and enjoy a nice lunch. The park itself has a lake where plenty of people come to fish, a ton of ducks and geese, plenty of picnic tables to enjoy your lunch, several playgrounds for the kiddies and much more. The park itself is not overly big so you do not have to worry about getting lost when walking down the numerous sidewalked pathways. The front parking off Lincoln can be a bit confusing to find if you don't know where to look and can often fill up fast. The parking lot is located at the end of a street with a chain link rope ending the street, simply turn right and you will find it. If the lot is full there are two more at the top of the hill so parking should be readily available. The park can get quite crowded at lunch time these days, especially since the release of Pokemon Go but most people stick to themselves. I have ran across some service guys on 2 occasions who park there truck and sit here to drink beer all day and started throwing their cans around but other than that I have seen nor heard of any issues. This is definitely a park I will continue to come to when I can for a quick leisurely stroll. Check it out read more

Ducks, trees, benches serving as a hidden, relaxing getaway makes Eisenhower Park an incredible attraction. This park is right in the city but tucked away in a residential area. Beautiful, clean, positive, natural; I have yet to think of anything I did not like about this park. I have come here during my lunch break before and in the evening. have always found parking as many people walk here not needing to park, access to the park is pretty easy too. I took a few pics of the Duck pond area which can provide a view of Tustin or Lincoln. The duck pond is very relaxing when you just sit there and watch the water or the ducks. Some people bring thier kids to fish. There is also bench/table areas you can chill or even work/study. The have picnic tables and grass areas for fun or special events. They also have a lovely stream on the other side of the duck pond I need to go see soon, depicted as being shaded by trees and surrounded by rocks. What about the service, lol, those ducks can be rude at times. If you come here please keep it clean, quite and positive. read more

The Perfect Place for Kids and a Picnic..Free! The park has long streams pouring into a small lake where you can fish and walk with the ducks. There are two play areas for children which include slides and climbing gyms. This is one of the best places to take your kids that is absolutely free in North County. The location is near where the 55 meets the 91. Exit Nohl Ranch off the 55. It is behind the plaza, in a residential area (Olive Hills), on the corner of Tustin and Lincoln. ~Activities BBQ stands and picnic tables Benches! Fishing-No license if you are under 15. Play with the ducks Play Gyms for the little ones Plenty of space for walking, running and playing sports for the kids. Fly a Kite. Walk your dog. ~Tip This place is terrible on weekends during the afternoon. The secret is coming early or on the weekdays. This place gets crowded and people take if for granted throwing trash and litter all over the place. ~Kudos Kudos to the park caretakers. They keep this park pleasent and clean. They do an amazing job considering all the trash I see people leave behind. Overall, this park is very clean because of the caretakers. ~Parking Easy and Plenty. Two main lots with easy access. Free.

This is a nice, big, clean park! Perfect outing for family and kids. Lots of shaded areas too. (a very big plus!) There are many non-reservable picnic tables...which is awesome if you're here with a small party or family. You can also reserve green space for parties and weddings. (Today we saw a couple getting their wedding photos taken there! Beautiful sight to see.) There is a large lake for fishing. (Hmm...dunno if you can keep the fish tho???) There are many shaded areas, trees, streams and rolling hills. It's close to the freeway and easy to find. Parking is not an issue at all. read more

Pretty nice park. My friends and I came here for a social distance picnic. It was fairly easy to find a spot to sit in the shade by the lake. I just got confused by parking here (maybe it's just me!) but I found a small separate lot on the side where I luckily found parking. I'm not sure if I'd return here though because a majority of people were not wearing masks nor did they look like they even had masks with them. I didn't like that especially because there were definitely enough people there that you'd likely walk pretty close by others. Also, it seems like people just let their dogs poop everywhere and don't bother picking it up. However, there's a good amount of goose poop as well, so I guess it wouldn't really make a difference anyways, whether people are good dog owners or not? ‍ read more

Beautiful park. Generally fairly shaded and lots of different areas to hang out or run around. There's even a pond that's great for skipping rocks, plus a bridge and a few different playgrounds catered to various ages. Parking is free and fairly easy to find, as there's a decent amount of spaces inside the lot, plus plenty of nearby street parking. The only downfall of this place is there's a ton of duck poop everywhere, so just be careful when you're walking! read more

So, came here to shoot a video for her wedding. It was such a great park for the shoot! We got there about 10AM and started immediately. The park wasn't busy yet and we got some great footage. There were a lot of great locations that we recorded here. It's a pretty good size park. And there's a huge lake with many wild fowl. The water is pretty murky though. When we got to the lake, it was frothy and a bit of trash floating. There was another group that was taking pictures for what looked like a quinceanera. The park started to get busier when we were coming up on noon. There are 2 playgrounds, lots of trees for shade, and bubbling brooks. The lake is pretty huge with a nice little dock on the south east side. We had used that location for one of the shoots. There are also plenty of restroom facilities. My friend used one of them and was surprised as to how clean it was for a park restroom. We had a great time filming this little video for my friend. Definitely a great place for doing fun things like this, taking a stroll through the park, feeding the ducks at the lake, lay down on the grass and read, and for a party. There aren't any picnic areas that I recall. But a party was getting set up with a tent and tables when we're were leaving. Parking is at the north end of the park. My GPS took me to the shopping parking lot on the south end. There are 2 small parking lots on Bixby and Butterfield. read more

This is a very pretty clean park with lots of ducks & a beautiful lake. Spent many a day sitting on the park benches watching the awesome sunsets on the lake & feeding the ducks their duck food. Do not give the ducks bread, it gives them diarrhea & makes them sick. For a few bucks go to the feed store & get duck food. It's good for them & doesn't make a mess on the sidewalks in the park. Having a picnic at this park is really a lot of fun! read more
