Kids shaded playground
Taylor K.

This park is new and is definitely beautiful. It's placed on a hill with superior and pacific coast highway as the cross streets so on clear days you can see Catalina over the houses. The park has a giant grass field, clean new bathrooms, a shaded playground, and a baseball field. The biggest problem is that it's hard to get to.. If you are coming down Superior you are going to miss the parking lot entrance because it's on the opposite side. To get to the park you park across the street where you have to pay 1.50 an hour. You can park even farther though at Jack in the Box. You then have to cross the busy street and walk up a hill to get to the top. This makes it difficult if you are trekking bags of sand toys or lunch to the park. HOPEFULLY they are making a parking lot next to the park that is just not finished yet.. Also while the playground is shaded there are no large trees with shade to sit under which can be difficult when it is hot. All in all this park is great for joggers and families who aren't as lazy as I am.

Very nice and clean park , a little bit confusing to find parking lot, not much people attend the park probably because the temperature changed to cold all of sudden, but overall it's nice and pleasant place to watch sunset

Great park for family's and animal friendly. Nice trial to run and two stair cases. You can see the beach from the entire park and there a great breeze with an ocean smell! Definitely coming back for jog with my doggies.

This is our favorite place! My in-laws were coming from Texas and we suggested to meet at Newport…read moreBeach to enjoy the fireworks show and beach together. The weather was perfect the entire time we were there. It was really nice to get away from the heat. The beach and the water was clean. The waves were a bit high which was perfect for boogie boarding for the kids and some of us adults. (I am totally sore from boogie boarding and maybe broke something... but totally worth jt!) There was a bit of traffic around the beach area when we first arrived in the morning (9 am). Some streets were small so you have to be extra careful driving because pedestrians darted into the street whenever they wanted to... We were able to find parking in the parking lot and we got charged around 32 for the entire day. 6 hours was the max before having to add more money to our parking pass but easily done by using our phone, just remember your car license plate number and zone number. The area was very nice and got front row on the sand. We had 16 people in our group, we all got to have our space. But as people started coming they started crowing around so it was tent to tent next to each other around noon. So make sure you get there early if you want a nice view. There was a bathroom close by with washing stations and even swings and playground for the kids to enjoy. We were able to take a short walk (5-7 minutes toward the fun zone and ferry area). We left our stuff on the beach for a few hours and it everything was still there when we returned. We just love Newport and wish we weren't four hours away but we do not mind the drive. It truly is relaxing when we get there. We spent about 12 hours on the beach and enjoyed every moment. Can't wait to go back!

Really nice, relatively new park. Located in the perfect location right next to the showers,…read morebathrooms, parking lot, and the lifeguard HQ. The park has swings, slides, tic-tac-toe, and a wall climbing area. The kiddos really enjoyed it and it's about a one minute walk through the sand to the ocean.

I feel a little bit bad not giving this beautiful park five stars, but I'll make my reasons clear…read morebelow. Still, compared to most parks of this size in the US, this is probably a five-star park. And yet. Wow. I just can't believe Newport Beach had the foresight and wisdom to allow this little plot of prime real estate to be a wonderful park for the entire community to use rather than some multimillionaire's hillside estate. When I came and took my photos, I only explored the southern side of the park, which is separated from the northern side by a steeper part of the hill and some shrubbery. It's easy enough to get from one side of the park to the other, but from the bottom, where I started, I couldn't tell there was another half of the park. Most of the southern side is on a hillside that steepens as you walk away from Carnation Avenue. In addition to small grass areas, there are a playground, some picnic tables, and only a few shade trees. Those trees are important, though, because when the weather is beautiful and there's not a cloud in the sky like when I came in August, you probably don't want to be totally exposed. I had walked here from where I parked about three-quarters-of-a-mile away. When I drove back, I noticed on my GPS that the park continued, so I turned left onto 1st Avenue, and who knew? Begonia Park is actually named after Begonia Avenue, which is its northern/western border. This northern part of the park comprises a much larger, flatter grassy area. However, the only trees up here are at the very eastern corner of the park, so again, if you're picnicking on the grass up here, bring something to shade yourself with. At the westernmost corner of the walkable part of the upper park, there are two benches that face the ocean. There was a man sitting at one, so I didn't get out of my car to try the benches, but I could tell that they have a lovely ocean view. These benches are definitely five stars. My quibbles with Begonia Park may be minor, but if the City of Newport Beach fixed them, I'd gladly re-review and bring this rating up to five stars. The first problem is a big one. Despite Bayside Drive being a fairly busy street and despite the fact that two separate concrete walkways go right up to Carnation Avenue right across from Begonia Park's own concrete path to the playground, there are no marked crosswalks at or near the corner of Bayside & Carnation. This just feels like feckless indifference on the part of city planners. In addition to crosswalks, there should be those blinking yellow lights that flash when people are in the crosswalks. The top half of the park has a lovely view, and I like all the open space, but there should be more shade trees and especially benches all around the edges of the park, not just right where the best view is.

Lovely spot to picnic. Kind of tucked out of the way, so always easy to park along the, ha, well,…read morepark. Umm... one thing that I'd like to see? Bathrooms. Bit challenging to "hold it" if you're having a leisurely picnic, curled up with a good book, or catching up with a friend. Sometimes you just don't want to get up and leave the moment. Nice views from the top of the park. 2022: 60/100
