Enjoyed walking my dog here and smelling the oranges as parking was easy the trail was not too difficult and the community was nice

Beautiful park located in South Redlands neighborhood. There is not a swingset or slides or children's play area at this park. It's more of a natural beauty park. Best time to go is to catch the sunset views from the several benches located on the rim of the park. There are other nice areas to hang out by the carriage house where you could just read a book or do some yoga stretches. Love love love Prospect Park such a lovely local gem. Here is an unedited photo. We took a couple nights ago from one of the benches at Prospect Park in Redlands, looking north. read more

This park is located next to the Kimberly Crest House and gardens. There is parking available right at the entrance once you drive through the gate. There are trails, gardens, and a very nice outlook of the city of Redlands. There are people walking the trails and doing photo shoots. There are alot of backdrops for beautiful shots, perfect. It is very scenic and peaceful. You can spend all day exploring the park, as it has a lot to offer. read more

Our Sunday walk at Prospect Park was great! We chose it as the place when we visited Redlands. There were a lot of different people that were young, old, kids, and dogs everywhere. I loved how lively it felt as we walked around the entire park for an hour, which is about 2 rounds around the park for us. Even though it was busy, some areas were quiet, with people taking photos and happy dogs enjoying themselves. And guess what? The restrooms were sparkling clean because restrooms at public parks are usually gross but this was well maintained and I have no complaints. read more

What a beautiful park! We passed by it on the way to Kimberly Crest and had to stop on the way back. They have rows and rows full of orange trees with plentiful fruit. Handpicking is forbidden! This place helped me imagined Redlands and California at the beginning of the 20th century full of orchids and orange groves everywhere! I loved walking around here, what a great idea, the groves are part of Redland's history. For me, having the privilege of walking around trees full of fruit is a feeling hard to describe. Dream like. Prospect Park is a dream of a park! read more

This is one of my favorite parks in Redlands! It's a great park to take a nice beautiful walk in, get some good views of the city, do photoshoots, picnic, or watch a local theater show in the summer. I live in the neighborhood and this parking is super popular, especially when the weather is nice. I always see a ton of photography going on and its because there are so many different beautiful spots all over. In the spring and summer there are fun events like live music or a local summer theater show in the amphitheater. It's not all a flat surface so its a wonderful walking trail and the view spots near the top are spectacular of the city and the orange groves. There are picnic spots on the side closer to cajon street and thats also a great place to park too. On the other side of the park is historic Kimberly Crest which has certain visitation hours and is another cool place to check out. It's definitely worth checking out for its beauty and environment. :) read more

My wife and I love Prospect Park! It's always a go to for us when we want to enjoy Mother Nature and unwind. We have taken several photos here from big life moments over the past handful of years. We have taken engagement photos, and most recently our first babies pregnancy announcement. There are serene trails on the property that lead to beautiful views and shaded areas where it's nice to catch a sunset or read a book and relax. Definitely a recommended location to spend some quality time with your family and loved one's read more

Nice hidden park & mini paths both dirt & paved. It's the perfect place to go in the summer because it's has lots of shaded spots. Picnic/bench areas throughout & picturesque opportunities for newlyweds, groups/families & special occasions. An outdoor amphitheater that has festivals when life goes back to normal I suppose and the orange groves, let's not forget those:) And last, but not least, you have a few areas with views of the mountains to enjoy. A gem in the neighboring community of Redlands & nearby cities. I don't know honestly if it'd be worth the drive long distance unless you have family/friends or business out this way. Then it's definitely a treat. read more

This park is cool, I brought my son here to ride bikes and play on a playground; however we didn't realize they didn't have one haha. Nonetheless it was still fun a scenic for us to ride around our bicycles and have a small lunch there. We enjoyed our time, very clean and we felt safe. Wish we took pictures but we were so caught up riding around all afternoon. read more

My boyfriend and I's FAVORITE PARK in the IE. We love coming here on Saturday mornings to get our bodies moving before "attacking the day," as he says. I am always blown away by all of the beautiful and countless views. Somehow each time we come, we discover a new little path. Aside from it being a nice place to get your steps in, it's also a hidden gem for photography shoots! We've seen people taking graduation and wedding photos here. But, the park is big enough where the sessions don't feel intrusive or bothersome. The area is surrounded by beautiful, historic homes and is even right next to Kimberley Crest mansion which my bf mentioned is a popular place for outside ceremonies and weddings. To my surprise, Prospect Park also seems to host the Redlands Theatre Festival (except maybe this year due to COVID-19) which I LOVE!! Being a theatre goer myself, I can't wait to be back to watch a production. Definitely pay a visit if you're ever in the Redlands area! read more

I finally checked out this park. I arrived just after 4PM on a Tuesday. I didn't see a parking lot so I parked along Cajon Street. Signs said park is opened from 5 AM-9PM. As I got out of my car I noticed 5 hipsters taking oranges and eating them in their trunk of their car. There are large signs everywhere that say picking is prohibited. It left a pit in my stomach knowing my car was so close to theirs. I don't trust people who break the rules. I walked up the paved road and saw lots of couples hogging the benches and lots of people doing photography. They like to stay in one spot for awhile by the colorful trees. I waited a long time. I get agitated because going to park to relax isn't so relaxing anymore. The park is nice but it was really hard to enjoy myself with screaming kids. Perhaps I can visit another time that isn't so busy. read more

The food was great! I ate inside and the meal was very comfortable. How ever maybe a jazz music background instead of "I'll sex you up" songs Food and service outstanding! read more

A great little community park! Its a walking park, versus the playground type park. The orange orchards act as a super green buffer to the two adjacent busy streets. The super wide walkway to the center of the park, is well worth the short walk for the vista of the valley looking towards San Bernardino. This is a good place for walking and reflecting. The Redlands City staff keeps the restrooms and grounds very tidy. Good job staff! There is a volunteer organization that helps with maintenance, as well. They, too, have done an excellent job over the years. Parking can be a bit hectic on the weekends. read more

Came here to run, It's NOT good for running- it's nice for a walk. I thought there'd be some kind of long loop path around the park that i could just do laps on but the park is made up of a bunch of short interlocking paths which are packed with lots of unmasked ppl doing photo shoots so you can't run without frequently stopping bc you risk ruining someone's photo. (I did go on a Saturday and it's December so it's high peak time for photoshoots). That being said, it's gorgeous and that's why people are taking their photos there. For people looking to run, I'd recommend the neighborhoods around the park. I ended up doing a 7 mile run in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is really nice, the homes have a lot of character, and there's nice long paths/sidewalks. read more

One of the most beautiful parks in California, this park is an absolute enchantment and sits right next to Kimberly crest... a very easy walk to go and see their museum and all it's got to offer. The neighborhood is lovely for a walk and the park itself hold a beautiful long walk toward a rose garden and bamboo trails ... there's a outdoor theater at the park for plays, it was a wonderful adventure to explore with my children age 3&6.... There is no playground but this park kept my kids exploring and wandering.... For about 4hrs ... there is also a trail w a stream running through and bridges to walk over... very wonderful enchanting park... don't forget to pick some oranges they taste great too! read more

The trees are years old so they provide great shade on a hot day. Plenty of different tree types to see like orange trees, magnolia trees, etc. The Kimberly crest mansion is also here and you can get a tour (appointment-based and fee-based). If you're don't feel like walking, you can also take a tram to the top. Great views and places for picnicking. read more

Beautiful park. Now one of my favorite go-tos for peace and quiet in the area. You won't regret a visit here.

Love, love, love this park! Very cute & easy to get to you may have to park on the street but it's pretty safe!

I just love Prospect Park in Redlands! It's quiet, well-shaded (in most parts), clean, and ... not only is it great for walking or running through the trails but it is a photographer's hidden gem --- oops, did I just let out my secret? Yes, this park sets a gorgeous backdrop for an outdoor photo session! In the last year, I've seen more and more photographers coming here with families, couples, and even high school seniors to capture lifestyle photos outdoors. One of my favorite places to shoot here is just outside the picnic area and restrooms, which---by the way---are pretty clean! It's a vine-covered veranda with sunlight popping through for those gorgeous backlight shots. Down the hill is also a great photo opp for a bamboo-like backdrop. It's so green here and makes even an amateur photographer's photos stand out. If you continue walking down the hill, you'll see the open-air Redlands Theater and a grassy area with large trees! I can go on and on about all the wonderful parts of this park but you'll just have to see it for yourself. It is a bit tricky coming up here but there is a small unpaved parking lot across the restrooms. You'll have to be vigilant while driving up and watch out for hikers as the road leading up to the lot is a narrow, windy, single-vehicle road. Look for signs pointing to Carriage House and you'll find it better than Google Maps will give directions. Tip: - Wear comfy walking shoes; - Don't be scared if you see a lizard or squirrels running around; and - Keep Prospect Park clean and beautiful! read more

Prospect Park can best be described as an immaculate garden with an amazing view of the entire valley. Actually, it's gardens upon gardens--orange orchards, a rose garden, a greenhouse, a bamboo garden, palms, pines and on and on. It's a beautiful, quiet place to sit and relax or go for a walk. The Shakespeare Festival is held at the amphitheater there every summer, and Kimberly Crest is at the edge of the park. The only problem is that people overuse the park for photoshoots, which is usually easy enough to ignore although every graduation season it becomes littered with confetti. Otherwise, the city does its best to keep these grounds extremely well maintained. read more

In 1975 when I met my husband at 19 yrs old we went to see Prospect Park on our first date. The park was not a tourist attraction back then and it was still in great condition. We walked up to the front fountain by the house and sat on the lawn. I asked my future husband why the fountain wasn't on and then I pointed to the house and asked him if we could ask someone to see the inside of the house. I was young and naive but so enthralled by the history of the home when my husband started telling me about how he played on the grounds when he was a teenager. All of a sudden the fountain turned on as a man came out of the castle. I asked him if we could see the place and he took us around back and let us in. I felt like I was walking in a time capsule. We got to go upstairs to the second floor but for some reason I felt the presence of Mrs. Shirk who was watching us the whole time. The castle was still the same inside as I saw it and picturing it as it was in the past. We left shortly after that and I have never forgotten the moment. read more

Beautiful Park to take family pictures totally recommend. If you're searching for a beautiful Park to take pictures with your children who might not always cooperate if you take them to a professional photographer.. this is the place to go and this is why I asked my sister to take pictures of us with her new iPhone who took beautiful pictures in the outdoors and I loved how they turned out I would totally go back with my family to take pictures again. read more

This place is absolutely beautiful in the spring with all the flowers blooming and the intoxicating smell of orange blossom in the air right when you get out of the car. It's a nice place to watch the sun set as it has a good city view. Lots of people walking around and occasionally some people with a few oranges. FYI you're not allowed to pick the oranges (and yes there's security). I've seen photographers here and even a wedding reception at the club house up top. read more

Great place to take pictures and/ or to run. Lots of greenery, shade and trees. This park is one of my favorites.
