I walk to Costeau Park on most days and spend a few minutes sitting there. Over the years, this…read morepark has been fairly well maintained, but the traffic noise from Alicia Parkway and the 405 freeway is very loud. The sod "baseball diamond" has had the grass removed and has been surfaced with red clay soil. There are no bases and I have never seen anyone playing real baseball or softball there. I think it is a waste of space and should have been left grassy. Dog owners are generally responsible and dog waste bags are provided. Many parents come with small children who use the playground area. As well, the basketball court gets frequent use. Overall, it is a decently maintained area for a short visit.

This park is deteriorating. Nobody cleans it, the trees are over grown and uneven surface.read more

Found this playground and park today and so happy we did!…read more It is small and perfect for my three year old. The playground says it's 5-12 years old but actually was really good for my three year old. The playground does have bathroom, (key access), tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court, huge grass area, bbq , gazebo , and close to the walking trail! Parking is limited as it's street parking, but on a weekday we found parking easily. Will be coming back here soon!

Cute little pocket park in Rancho Santa Margarita. It's not gated, like many of the SAMLARC…read morefacilities. Nice place for a little picnic, or to stop for water if you're on a run. (The latter is what I do!) There is a little trail that runs right behind it, which is nice for enjoying the outdoors. I often see folks walking their pups.

Pinecrest Park is a neighborhood park in Mission Viejo. It spans about 15 acres and has parking on…read morethe street around the exterior. Through the park is a dirt trail that leads to the other end of the park. The park has a soccer/football field, softball field, grassy area in the middle, kids playground, and walking/running trail around the exterior. It's a peaceful park but is also next to a big street so lots of cars drive through during rush hour.

No restrooms !! That's crazy a park , especially a park this size doesn't have restrooms for kids …read more The play ground is pretty decent size with baby swings and 3 different areas . It feels like a dog park with the amount of dogs here walking around the trail . Alot of owners let their dogs off the leashes, so that's an issue . I'm thinking this park was mainly made for the neighborhoods nearby , idk why else it wouldn't have a restrooms. It defiantly has the space. I wouldn't recommend this place for parties or pool driving to take their kids to the park . I would definitely go elsewhere. I come here for my son's soccer training and a few times my children have had to use the restroom and we have to drive to fast food nearby which is not convenient.

Found this park using the Yelp app to find a spot to get my morning workout on. This one is not…read moreespecially suited to such goals, as the walking loop is small and the elementary school-adjacent location is primarily a playground. Luckily, there's a lot of parking and ample seating in the form of both benches and picnic tables- snag one for body weight exercises and run a couple laps, or cross the parking lot to the staircase for drills. Dog-friendly area had several well-behaved pups come by during my hour-long visit, with bag stations by the street.

Love strolling through Canyon View Park but only on weekdays…read more Parking here is nonexistent. You have to parallel park in specific areas and specific side of the street only. It's in the middle of a residential neighborhood and it will be hard to park during the weekends. It's an otherwise peaceful area to walk around in unless you have the unfortunate encounters with unleashed dogs, shrieking children due to the two playgrounds, or inconsiderate people talking extremely loudly on their smartphones. Sometimes you will encounter all 3 and by then, the walk with my dogs are ruined. My one dog is extremely shy and timid so I frequently have to carry her back to the car with another pulling beagle in tow. No fun at all. The poop bag stations are inconsistently filled and the park has dog droppings hidden in any areas of the grass or sidewalk. So if your dogs tend to eat stuff off the ground, WATCH OUT! Mine tried to roll in it and I so didn't appreciate it. The park also leads to several different trails that allows dogs for some of the paths. It will be an extremely steep hill to climb up and down if you access it from the Canyon View Park side. Not for the faint of heart and be aware it has little to no shade. Bring water, and don't attempt to climb if you have sandals on. It will get your feet dusty and good pair of NB or Hokas would really help. In all, I think it's a decent park to go to, but not my first choice due to noise, dog droppings, and ease of access. Avoid on weekends unless you like crowds.

Baker Ranch Community Park is nestled within the Baker Ranch community. Parking is very limited…read morehere so we try to time it when it's not too busy. The restrooms are clean which is always a plus for a park. BRCP, has many benches/tables for gatherings close enough to where your kids can play. The playground is pretty large for the older kids. There is a little one for the much smaller children off to the side. What I like about this playground though is the flooring. They have this very cushioned floor instead of wood chips. When our kids trip or fall, they don't get badly hurt and they for sure don't get splinters or wood chips stuck in their shoes. Behind the tables is a basketball court that you can easily see from the tables if in case you're worried about your kids running off to play. It's easy to keep an eye on them from there. Beyond what I've already mentioned, I don't know what else this park has to offer because it's as far as we have gone for play dates or birthdays parties at the park. It's a nice place for kids to play. I only wish parking wasn't so limited.
