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.
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.
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!
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
Went here to take my quince photos and oh ehm gee this park was gorgeous the nature and atmosphere is so nice
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!
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.
Nice park with lots of orange trees. Great place to take photos or just practice your photography skills. It's very easy to walk around the park even if you have difficulty walking like I do. Highly recommended.
This is where I end up or leave from ... it's cooler than the other places I hike... always fun things going on in this park... photography for a big events, weddings, graduations, and families.... They have plays in the summer.... I love Prospect Park.... I never drive... read more

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

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

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
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

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

Ask the Community - Prospect Park
Are dogs welcome?
There are plenty of walkers with their fury friends. They are all on leashes.
Due to COVID of a couple wanted to elope in this park with just a photographer and a witness is that possible? Would a permit be required?
Not sure about officiating a ceremony, probably need to check with the city on that. I have seen photographers staging photos there with clients, seems to be pretty common .
Is this a good place to have a picnic?
Usually yes, but right now everything is roped off. You can't sit on any of the communal areas.
Do i need a permit to take photos?
No, this is a public park. Hot spot for photographers!! They may have a paid event going on which might limit where you can go.
Is it free? And why does my gps say theres a restricted street to get there?
Because the street is there, but its like going to Hollywood Bowl, when you reach close by the gps will tell you that its restricted streets.
Is it busy to take pictures on Saturdays?
We went on a Sunday around 11 and I noticed it started to get a little busy with families taking photos around noon . If you get there early you shouldn't have a problem
Is this park picnic friendly?
Yes! They have limited chairs and tables; however, there is plenty of grassy space and tons of large shady trees if you want to picnic the old school way. I recommend bringing a trash bag for disposal to keep the park beautiful.
