The summers are filled with summer concerts that allow families to come together and the community to enjoy music, foods from foos trucks. Fall welcomes the halloween haunts where kids make memories that last a life time. I really love hidden spots in the botanical gardens for flower lovers like me can go and just enjoy mother nature. The added butterfly garden and its butterfly chairs make it more special. The soccer fields are filled with kids and adults playing sports. The community center adds that final touch with rooms that can be rented for special events, meetings, and downstairs is access to the heated pool. 5/5 I have attended a few private events at the community center and its a great addition to the area.

The park is immaculately kept. There is a kids play area with splash pad and restrooms nearby. They even have EV parking here with chargers. The adjacent parking lot is free. The park is not too far from Aliso Viejo and we enjoy changing up the parks we visit with Suki. She's in the last years of her life and I want her to enjoy all the grassy fields she could possibly want to explore. If you have a free moment and are in need of some tranquil scenery, this place could be it.

Sitting on the edge of Crown Valley Park, this 18-acre botanical garden is nestled into the…read morehillside and serves as a good place for a walk and to explore nature. The garden displays plants from the Mediterranean climate regions of the world. Some of the ones included are an Australian garden, California, Chilean, Formal, Rose, and South African garden. I liked how many of the bushes or plants had plaques with the plant names, so you knew what you were looking at. The preserve was a maze of little paths with a fair amount of stair climbing and some steep parts. This might not be the best for high heels if on a date or for bringing an elderly parent who can't walk too far. I loved all the wildflowers abound. Some highlights were the rose garden, (more rustic than manicured) the lily pond, and bridge.

My mom, sis & I wanted to spend some family time outdoors and Yelp didn't disappoint! This preserve was a breath of fresh air (literally) and the vitamin D we needed. It's an 18-acre public garden, featuring themed gardens, winding trails (cemented & rocky), and even a labyrinth. It's uber peaceful, with its well-curated botanical, natural landscapes ~ totally ideal for walking and exploring. We just wished we were dressed more appropriately for hiking lol (we were dressed more casual, from having brunch together in Newport). Lol Oh wells..next time for sure! The variety of different colored plants originating from all around the world ~ California, Chile, Australia, South Africa, and the Mediterranean were sooo pretty. The winding paths offered scenic walks with varying difficulty, including some uphill climbs and stairs. We saw wildlife of all sorts ~ birds, butterflies, squirrels, rabbits, cute lil lizards and bees. Beware of rattlesnakes in certain marked areas..which we stayed away from. Overall, a cool place to relax, get some exercise & fresh air. There are MANY cute photo op sceneries. We will definitely be back again to explore more of the trails. RxFoodie recommend and YAY, for an added trail for my weekend hikes!!!

There are signs to guide you so just stick to the signs and you'll be ok.

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!

It's fully paved with rubber surface. There is one play structure that's a very cool pirate ship. There's a slope with 1 infant swing and 2 saddle swings. There are 2 tables with seating. There are 2 benches by the play structure and 1 by the swings. However, they also have a palm tree lined "bench" on Golden Lantern side. This area provides some shade, otherwise, not shaded. It's near the ocean though so not very hot. It is gated and small so easy to keep an eye on kids. There are 2 trash cans and no water fountain. I recommend this park if your kids like pirate ships and for a relatively short play time.
