I would prefer more areas that were not so sandy. The playground has a nice variety of things for the kids to do - swings, slides, a little bit of climbing. Both my 3-year-old and 5-year-old loved it. On a weekend morning, it wasn't too crowded either, which was great! There are plenty of places to sit in the shade and have some snacks as well. There are bathrooms, a huge field, and a gazebo - not sure if it's by reservation only though. There's also a free little library, which is super cute! I love discovering these. Pretty good selection too. There's also plenty of parking, and it's easy to get in and out. Overall, a great place!

(At other parks you can wait up to 50min because they only have 3 courts or each court has its own queue.) . Only the pb court lines are drawn. Thankfully, the Community Center staff provides portable nets. . Almost everyone here is a beginner. Level 3.0 and below. . At night, the lights are decently bright. Might be slightly dimmer on the street side. Non-likes: - The 4 courts are too close together. Neighboring distractions/interferences are common. They should've drawn the 4 courts farther apart. Need a little portable fencing to separate between courts. - On weeknights the Center, and thus the restrooms, closes at 7pm. - A bit of a maze to drive from the main roads to the nearest parking lot, then to walk around the skating rink to reach the pb courts. Wish we didn't have to cross a skating area to play pickleball everytime. - The courts are next to the street, so traffic is noisy occasionally. - Outdated webpage.

BEST PLACE FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY! My son had the time of his…read morelife here with his friends and family. We viewed the place with manager, Alan, then rented online for the full court for 2 hours. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner ( who was so welcoming and kind). We used the party room upstairs which was soooo spacious, nicely designed, clean and well equipped with benches for viewing, a kitchen, sink, counter space for food and drinks and even kids chairs and TV. Also we could play music while the kids played basketball. I give the place a solid 10 out of 10. They also have basketball leagues for kids. We will definitely be back!

The facility itself is cool, modern, and clearly designed with basketball lovers in mind. The GM Alan was amazing to work with--super responsive, helpful, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a fun, unique, and hoop-friendly place to host a party, this is it! Highly recommend!

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.

My friend and I were just walking around Laguna Beach after lunch, heading towards the beach, and suddenly we found ourselves in this absolutely stunning park. Total hidden gem moment. The park runs along this long paved walkway with panoramic ocean views that just do not quit. It is incredibly well maintained and every little detail has been thought of. Benches every quarter mile or so, multiple beach access points, a gazebo, BBQ grills, grassy areas and picnic tables. It has everything you could want for a chill outdoor day. We took one of the access paths down to the beach and got to explore the tidepools which was such a cool experience. There was actually marine life to spot down there which made it feel like a little adventure. On top of that there were art installations scattered throughout the park which added such a unique and creative vibe to the whole place. Oh and the bathroom was clean which is always a win at a park. Nature lovers will also appreciate that we spotted birds, butterflies and even a rabbit just hanging out. It felt like a little slice of the world where everything was just peaceful and lovely. I could honestly spend hours here just soaking it all in. If I lived closer this would be my regular spot to unwind, read a book and listen to the waves. Laguna Beach is already beautiful but Heisler Park takes it to another level. Absolute paradise and a must visit!

There are also grassy areas that are perfect for a small picnic while watching the ocean. Parking is usually metered nearby, but the park itself is free to visit. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Laguna Beach.
