Park hours are 7am-9pm. Lots of different areas to park your car. A wonderful place for walks, kids play days, etc

Pretty cool park, with a very urban feel and there's plenty of visitors and walkers here. The pond…read morearea does smells pretty much all around, even stronger in some areas, and there's lots of bird poop. So do watch your step. I was hoping this park would have a smaller footprint or to be more grand in size, but it was still a good park. I did enjoy my walk around the park. Went around twice, since it wasn't a huge place - you have to actually make up your own route to get a good workout. But they also have an outdoor workout area. I think I'll have to try those out on my next visit. I did like sitting on one of their benches on the other end of the pond. And lots of parking, depending which lot you enter from.

Such a great park for kids of all ages. More of an intermediate playground, but younger kids, 2-3…read morestill have fun! Very long and narrow and I love that it's hidden and even though it goes far back, the kids can't really run anywhere. Parking lot is small, but the neighborhood isn't a far walk if you needed to park there. There's a permanent ping pong table, but you need your own paddles and balls. Lots of climbing and 2 zip lines. I do wish Placentia would add some splash pads to the parks they've renovated tho. :/

Has a Baci Ball court. Might need raking or sweeping. I don't think anyone has ever used it…read more Also has a large lawn area in back where you can play toss with dogs. Good maintenence.

What an amazing park and playground complex! I had not gone in years and was surprised to find a…read morecompletely renovated playground complex which my two daughters loved! Innovative design that's different from the usual play structures, with multiple structures scattered throughout that are appropriate for a wide range of ages. Little sanded area. Bathroom facilities. Grassy fields surrounding the play structure complex. Plenty of parking. What more could one asks for!

My son and a friend had a blast here for about 2 hours exploring different areas and testing out all the equipment. For the most part the kids we encountered were respectful -- a few were under-supervised and ran into my kid a couple of times, but overall it was fine. The restroom wasn't too far and it was fairly clean. There were kids from all ages here (babies with parents up to 11ish year olds). Over all this was a very nice park and we'd return!

Many days around 6:30pm it's hard to find parking. Many different soccer teams practice here. People also come here to play pickleball! It's a nice park in a nice neighborhood. I just wish the restrooms were a little cleaner, but after all it is a park.

Likes: + A few open-play pickleball courts…read more + Evening lights light up the pb courts well. + Fragrant restroom. + Large parking lots. + Various friendly players show up throughout the day to welcome you to a game. Mostly beginners. This park has public restrooms, but they're located a 5min walk away from the pb courts. Wish they installed the two closer together. Non-likes: - Only THREE pickleball courts. The wait is so long!! There were TWELVE paddles lined up on each of the three courts. Expect to wait about one hour between games during peak hours. - Restrooms don't have paper towels. - There's only one drinking water fountain here. No water bottle refill station. - Only one seated toilet in the men's restroom. - I don't like the fence design surrounding the pb courts. Have to walk/run all the way around to get to the court you're next on. One or two doors along the fence would've been nice.

Great new hangout spot for the summer! Very clean park with restrooms and water fountains to drink…read more There are workers present to answer any questions/monitor play. There's a playground, splash pad area with outdoor shower, giant tree house with slide, waterslide, and ziplining. You need to make reservations for the weekends but parking is free. When I came, the waterslide and splash pad area were closed for maintenance. But it was still pretty crowded for a Tuesday! Will definitely come back to check out the rest of the amenities.

Old overdue review: this is by far one of if not the coolest park in OC and Southern California in…read moregeneral. As a parent, you visit lots of parks, this one is pretty awesome. In the summer, there's a splash pad and even a water slide. There are different sections to play in, including a small baseball area, swings and a zip line. The perimeter is fenced in so kids can't run off out of the area. The bathrooms are clean and spacious, with plenty of room to change after the water play. It is adjacent to another park, so there is plenty of parking nearby. If you've got kids, this park is definitely worth a visit! Note : Their hours can be tricky in the summer, due to YL summer camp that takes place, so check their website for more info.

We all wanted to try something different. My first time here, and I enjoyed the scenery of the lake, picnic areas, and the monuments. Very nice family park for people of all ages.

We don't come too often because the playgrounds are a little old and for bigger kids. It's more of a nice space for walking with the strollers. There is a lot of different areas to park here, which is helpful.

Parking is in front near the entrance, weekdays it's $4 /hr but free on the weekends. Admission is just a $5 suggested donation to support the arboretum. I arrived within the first half hour after opening to try and beat the heat. Even though it was still warm, there were plenty of shaded areas to stay cool along with benches that were great for relaxing. There was also a breeze so that helped. Thought about spending an hour there but glad I paid for two hours of parking because I ended up staying for 1 & 1/2 hours. One of my favorite moments were simply sitting on a bench listening to all the birds. Hopefully you can hear them on the video. This is a peaceful place to unwind and definitely encourage you to visit.

The display also showed $5 for weekends and $3 midweek. We wanted to do the Redwood trail and were directed to parking lot A. The park is big and beautifully landscaped with a pond and various picnic areas that can be rented in advance. There is enough space to set up all kinds of games. We brought a picnic lunch and sat on a bench that was perfectly situated alone amongst the desert plants. After lunch, we followed the signs for the Redwood Grove Trail which was labeled as easy and is a 1.5 miles dirt trail to the Redwood trees. When you arrive you'll see a small Redwood forest with the history of the trees displayed before you enter. A really beautiful and peaceful spot to relax for a bit. On our way back we decided to take the Creek Trail to see where it would lead us. I was hoping to see water at the end of this trail. But, we only saw a bunch of rocks at one point that may be filled with water if it rains. The end of this trail did lead us to a beautiful butterfly garden and the opposite end of the park. We made the walk back and stopped at the pond. There appeared to be other trails surrounding the park and a trail that leads to the Carbon Canyon Dam.
