This park is like a hidden gem. There's a glen with a stream of water, and a very nice wooden bridge! Great for pictures. Today some prom students are meeting here apparently. There's always parking too. read more

There's a small kids park and a very lengthy inner trail that surrounds the park. Such a mixture of trails - from creek running, to wooded forest running, to open trails. Great for walks, jogs, running, biking and horse riding. The park itself is lengthy , visible and ample street parking quiet but well visited. As you exit north of the park, the trail jumps the street next to Edisons PowerPlant and continues towards portola highway and towards whiting ranch or portola hills. Crossing over a few underpass and a few parks along the way. Its a gradual incline, that will meet up with mountain trails. Only thing missing would be the water stations or bathrooms... unfortunately, be prepared. Great thing, ever so often your have a picnic table and benches available along the way. This trailhead can be as short as a 3 to 4 mile round trip around the park, but the trail leading out can be definitely extended beyond 15 to 20 miles if your a cyclists- as the incline can be gradual until you meet up in the hills.

The only bad thing is that it is far from Diamond Bar. I wish there were more parks like this one in our area. There's plenty of street parking and the park is surrounded by houses. One more negative is that the bathrooms are locked, so hopefully a homeowner is at the park and can open them for you. Xie Xie!

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.

"Hidden Park" is what they should call this place. First, it isn't really visible from the road,…read moreand second, the entrance is is the middle of an industrial/business park type of neighborhood. Not the type of place you would expect to find a little park with live oaks, cool green grass, and a few small running trails. But that's what's here - a pretty oasis of nature in the middle of suburbia that can offer you respite from a busy or stressful day. Since it is somewhat sandwiched into an unlikely area there usually aren't too many people around. This actually makes it the perfect spot for a somewhat private picnic lunch, especially when the weather is nice outside. Make sure to take the trail that goes "down" into the ravine, as that is where the park area is located. The other side is more of a running/jogging trail. You will find some beautiful trees and a nice sloping hill with some grass, a gazebo and even an outdoor barbeque. Also, as others have mentioned, this is really just a wide spot on the Serrano Creek trail, which is much longer and runs through the park. Make sure to plan your trip if you are looking on going for a longer hike. You can actually start here and go pretty far.

Borrego Canyon Overlook Park is a mini neighborhood park nestled in a residential area, overlooking…read morethe Borrego Canyon. It is basically a patch of greenfield with a small playground. The park is so small that the walkway is only on one side of the park. The paved road ended at the far end of the park. Anyone feeling adventurous can follow the dirt trail all the way to the Whiting Ranch park entrance I was told. This quaint park is clearly intended for neighbors' use only as it does not have a public restroom on-site. The best asset of this park is its gorgeous view of the canyon. Clearly the Bond Fire got too close to the park when you see the wooden fence been replaced by iron stakes covered with a orange mesh, and the charred remain of trees on the other side of the fence. As small as it may be, it has more visitors than the other, larger, Borrego Park, about a mile down the hill. It seems to be very popular with dog owners walking their dog(s).

In many ways, it is the perfect park for a short afternoon picnic or a hike. Going downhill, the hike is not strenuous and not too long. The trail is easy to follow and there are ways to turn to extend your journey. There is also a small playground and a decent size grass field which can be used for games of touch football, tag, a picnic, or whatever. On a clear day, the grassy area offers a perfect spot to sit and enjoy the views of Irvine, Catalina, and the Pacific Ocean. It is also quite pretty at night. Also, since this park is on top of the hill, it is a fabulous place to fly a kite! There is usually always a breeze blowing, and when it's a bit windy the conditions are perfect. Keep in mind this is in the middle of a residential neighborhood, so parking is limited and it's usually pretty quiet.
