My little piece of heaven.
Scott C.

Funny story. When I moved to AV about 7 months ago, I got lost (even with my phone GPS) and had driven by this park. Well, being busy with the move, work and family, I didn't remember where it was. Well, god bless the internet, because I found it again, and went back yesterday. This nice little park right by my home, has to be one of the best in OC. Small, sure, but just enough for everyone. Basketball, tennis, picnic area (shaded), little tikes area, wonderful dog area, and the cleanest restrooms I have ever seen at a park. Great job and well done, city of AV. I will be back...haha :)

Our kids' favorite park in AV. Tons of play equipment, lots of grassy play area, plus bathrooms.

This feels like a park better suited for children and those playing baseball. There are two…read morebaseball fields. Aliso Viejo Community Park is across from Aliso Viejo Ranch. There is a dedicated parking lot. This park also has public bathrooms and water station. The entrance to the park is tucked behind a residential area. The track that goes around the entire park also connects with the Aliso Creek Hiking Trail that goes under highway 73. My only complaint would be that there are not enough trees or areas of shade. It is really hot during the day.

This review is specifically for the toddler playground…read more I have been to another playground designed by the same manufacturer as this one and it's one of our favorites. I was excited to go to this park for a change of scenery but was severely disappointed immediately upon arrival. The equipment is so high off the ground that is impossible for small children to get on by themselves. There are sharp corners, bolts and plates exposed at the bottom of the equipment because so much of the wood chips are missing. The huge drops make it an extremely unsafe playground for toddlers. Obviously kids should be supervised at all times but at this age they should have a little independence to climb things on their own; you should not have to lift them onto every piece of equipment and stand there with arms open the whole time to ensure they don't fall from a large drop. There is one ramp and the rest of the playground is surrounded by a cement path which is a huge step for a toddler to try to take on their own. In theory this is a great park. The equipment is nice and it's enclosed (although the gate latch is broken off and rusted) but they need to add about 8+ inches of wood chips to make it reasonably accessible for the 2-5 age group. I spoke to another mom who said that she has been taking her child to this park for about a year and it has always been this way. I have a hard time believing I am the only one who has raised this concern, yet it appears that nothing has been done about it.

Aliso Viejo Community Park - The chips should cover the plate towards the bottom of the green spinner. That's how low the wood chips are.

This is my entry way to hiking on the Wood Canyon Trail which runs south. have not used any…read moreamenities offered here at this park. I do appreciate free street parking. A past memory I have was getting to play with a dog whose owner we playing catch with on the grass here.

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.
