    Craig at bat...
    Nadine C.

    Craig's softball game in Irvine, California... On Tuesday night, July 2, 2019, the last game of the season was held at Harvard Skate Park. This is a gigantic park with lots of parking, a convenient restroom, safe walkways, and good lighting. Craig's game was at Field 5. There was a three leveled set of aluminum bleachers right next to the dugout. My friends and I enjoyed cheering with our pompoms, clappers, and bubbles! Hee hee! I wouldn't mind going again! Note: bring mosquito repellent as a precaution

    This is a tiny little park. I'm gonna be honest I did not see one skateboarder here . This is a scooters spot . A lot of moms and young kids.

    FINALLY

    Automatic 5 stars because I finally caught a Snorlax today and it was here at this park! Otherwise, plenty of parking throughout the park. A lot of fields or baseball games. Also theres a skatepark.

    Está muy incompleto en la parte inferior de las rampas. Es plano. Si tienes un niño en el scooter, no vayas aquí.

    Literally the worst skate park I've ever been to, transition is dangerous and not built properly. Huge cracks at the bottom of every ramp

    Parking is good. We had baseball tryouts here today and the baseball fields were well maintained and the dougouts were clean.

    New playground is a lawsuit waiting to happen. No stairs to slide. The only way to get to the slide…read moreis literally climbing the rock wall or scaling rope bridge. My toddler is advanced and can do playgrounds no problem but thing thing is literally for kids 7 and up. Even then it's so dangerous because there's way too many ways to fall off the play set. They do have a "toddler area" which is a small wood playhouse and wood/rope climbing area. And even that I wouldn't let my little one near because it's too easy for her to fall onto wood logs edge and get cut. Just very poor bad "modern" design. We only go cause it's walking distance and even then it's work because I'm constantly watching my daughter to make sure she doesn't fall off. Nothing enclosed at all. Truly dislike this playground for kids under 7. We've gone 7+ times and I never see kids climb to top of this playground or anything. Such a waste. Would rather make the drive to Heritage or Tustin Sports Park or literally any other park.

    This was a cool little park we visited on Thursday morning…read more Parking is round the outside, on the main street, so it's quite busy. I didn't like that. Once you walk over the play area you can see that they have some really awesome and different play equipment. I liked that. There was some rubbish in various areas of the park. The older kids area is shaded, but unfortunately come 10am the little play area with the yellow and blue structure is right in the sun. There's also an area for very young kids and that was shaded. There are no swings. It's a little out of my way to come here, so I won't be back in a hurry. There are toilets.

    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!!

    Bill Barber is a great park to walk. There are multiple baseball fields, tennis courts, and picnic…read moreareas around the park where you can have parties and gatherings. There is also a large playground at the park where you can bring your kids. A lot of people start here to go cycling down the Santa Ana River Trail. This is a great place to bring your dog as well. Bill Barber is located in the same lot as the Irvine City Hall and Police Department.

    I searched all over and found this friendly great guy named Tyler who was so helpful. He not only…read moredirected us in the right direction but he has quality products and we LOVE LOVE LOVE our new ramp. OC Ramps was so easy to work with, quick and efficient and we felt great value. So glad we didn't listen to the grumpy buggers on yelp who probably wanted something for nothing but instead listened to our gut that said OC Ramps is a great place and cares about their customers. I've referred them to my friends & family and they love OC Ramps too! Can't say enough good things about this company. What a pleasure it is to work with a company that cares!

    Bought a ramp from OC Ramps with the promise it would be shipped in 5 days. By the time I realized…read moretheir vague wording actually meant "Leaves the factory in 5 days" it didn't matter because it still hadn't left the factory a week later. Fast forward to 30 or so days later and the ramp is set to be delivered today. All is well until I get a call that the delivery company can't make it up to my house, his truck is too big. Note: Not every neighborhood can accommodate an 18 wheeler. Since I couldn't accommodate the delivery truck's window for a 2nd attempt the shipping company sent the ramp back to OC Ramps, informing me that I'd have to call them and schedule a new delivery. For better or worse in this waiting period my son hurts his ankle, aggravates an old injury. He decides maybe he doesn't want this (phantom) ramp after all. That's fine I think and call to cancel the order. They want me to pay $340 for shipping. That's a lot but ok, and oh yeah that's just cost for shipping TO my house. They also want me to pay return shipping. But wait, it was already returned to you guys, because delivery fell through because of the wrong truck guy. No you have to pay return shipping. AND IT WILL COST OVER $600. You guys are crazy, why would you have me pay this? It was already returned. Also, that's a questionably high shipping cost for a palette of wood. No you have to pay it. You have to pay $1000 in total for shipping costs on a ramp it took us a month to not actually deliver to you, a ramp that incidentally has already been returned because of a screw up by our delivery company. Add to that some disappointing customer service encounters and yeah these guys actually get no stars from me. $1000 delivery costs for a ramp they took a month to never actually deliver. In a word, sketch.
