One of the larger ducks was acting like a puppy - it was so endearing and frightening at the same time. Right now there's a lot of construction. The main restroom area is being worked on.

I love how they have racket ball courts but hardly see anyone using them. Overall, solid park and amenities.

To reach the ponds, after you park, you'll need to walk upwards to the left where there is a dirt foot trail to the ponds. There are two ponds. The first one that you'll see, is the smaller one. There are a few ducks that were here when we arrived. We saw several people fishing in this pond because the park recently stocked up the pond with fish. Although, when I spoke to someone who was leaving, they caught 3 fishes and were heading home. Another person who just arrived an hour earlier, still didn't catch any fish. My advice is to go early in the morning when the fish are hungry to catch the fish. To see the larger pond, just keep heading upwards to the right and you'll immediately see it to your left. This pond has most of the ducks congregating here. We saw less people fishing at this pond maybe because there were more ducks. The main reason to going to this park was to feed the ducks. You're not supposed to feed them bread. We brought bird seeds and sunflower seeds (with no salt) with us. When we went, there were three types of ducks: Mallards (The males have the pretty green colored feathers from their head to their necks while the females are covered with different shades of brown. I like the light tan feathered ones. You may see the all-white feathered Mallard which is pretty too.) Muscovy (they look like they're wearing red masks lol) The ones here were rather large compared to the other ducks. American Wigeon (they're smaller than the Mallard & Muscovy with green feather streak from their eyes going down their necks. At the top of their heads, the feathers are a white streak going down their necks as well. The main part of their body is covered with brown feathers.) Overall, we had an enjoyable time here feeding the ducks and relaxing in the park. Great free activity to bring along your kids to see the ducks. Just remember not to feed them bread because it lacks nutritional value and can lead to health problems for the birds.

Dogs! Unleashed dogs!…read more My complaint is not about the disk golfers. They are great! They are alway polite to a fault. If you need to walk by where they are playing? They actually stop and wait for you to pass. I've had that happen many times. My complaint is about people with their dogs. I had another incident with someone who didn't honor the leash law. Small, but a reminder that I can't go to this park with my small dog. It's just not safe for him and it might not be for me either. I don't know these dogs who are loose. Well, at least I wasn't jumped on by a large dog, like last time. That was pretty bad and the dog did hurt me. What if that had been a small child? So, my second incident... I actually saw a woman walk out of the park, leaving her dog inside the park, to choose whether to follow her or come towards me and my 10 pound dog. There's a walkway, back into the adjoining neighborhood. This was not through the parking lot. The medium sized dog, maybe 40-45 pounds, was anxious as to which way to choose. He/she started to come towards us. I mean... honestly! She would no doubt defend her actions by saying her dog is friendly... ...yadda, yadda. Point is, THERE IS A LEASH LAW THAT IS ***NOT HONORED!*** People who don't leash their dogs here are growing in this park. No one does! And because no one does, everyone seems to think it's ok. It isn't! It's not ok. While a large dog might be friendly, they can pounce on a small dog and injure it. Or a small child! If your dog is unleashed, it's out of your control and that's the point. The whole thing makes it near impossible to use this park. It's in my neighborhood so that just should not be. I'm still giving this 4 stars though because of the gold disk guys... they are mostly guys. They're great. ...

Southern California disc golf has its roots deep here at UCI. UCI hosted the 1979 World Frisbee…read moreGolf Championship (watch a clip of it here : http://youtu.be/HwG9psXsOMs) where temporary baskets were laid out to form an 18 hole course. Over time, the course and the area where the course is laid out has gone through many changes. While not recognized by the disc golf community as being a destination course, a handful of old timers, college kids, and area golfers keep the UCI course alive and remembered. As of 2013, the course has no real representation through social media and other disc golf outlets (DGCoursereview.com doesn't even list it). It's a course that is usually passed by word of mouth. Besides a simple website (listed above) that features info on the course and maps of the courses' layout, there's little information out there. There are no signs, no maps and no information at the campus besides faded arrows pointing you to the next pin location. This is definitely an "insiders" course. Perhaps the biggest reason why this course isn't a huge draw for disc golfers is the fact it's a pole target course. There are no baskets. Mind you that target courses were used back in the 60s before the "pole hole" basket was invented by Ed Headrick (an original basket can be found at Oak Grove DGC in Pasadena, the first permanent course in the world). Here's how it works : there are a total of three 18 hole courses laid out and around UCI's Aldrich Park. The first 18 holes are represented by light poles with white tape wrapped around it. The second 18 holes are represented by black tape and the third set of 18 are represented by green tape. There is also a 9 hole "playoff" course represented by red tape. This makes a total of 63 holes. Tee pads are represented by small painted arrows (or in some cases dots). Many are faded and sometimes hard to see. Light poles can also be used as more than one pin location, as you will see multiple color tape on those poles. I managed to only play the first 18 holes before having to leave for a family get together, but I must admit that playing here was really fun (especially if you can get a group together...I played with 8 people). The fact that the campus is so quiet on a Sunday morning makes for a pleasant experience. I was skeptical about shooting at light poles (how fun is that?) but it made you really focus your putting. I can see that playing this course would make you hone in on your mid range game and putting, since you're aiming for something quite thin in size. Also another interesting side to playing here is the fact that buildings come into play sometimes. Also love the fact that there are some elevation throws too. A few other key points about playing at UCI : - If you're a first time player of the course, I STRONGLY SUGGEST coming out with a local who at least somewhat knows the layout of the course. I ended up playing with someone who pretty much grew up playing here with his dad. Since the park is a huge circle, getting lost from hole to hole would be quite easy to do if you're a newbie. It will save you a ton of time playing with someone familiar with the course layout. - Being how this is a large university, I would suggest playing here on weekends...although my buddy says playing here during the week is do-able. Keep an eye out for people walking, jogging, riding bikes and other various activities along the pathways. - Pretty much any ivy patch and or ice plant (http://projects.trnerr.org/invasives/assets/templates/plants/picts/carpobrotus_edulis1.jpg) is out of bounds, unless the light pole is in a patch. Bushes and other plants are safe. - Please keep a low profile when playing here. In other words, respect the rules of the university. It would be very easy for the university to eliminate any signs of a course being here if they see it was a draw to "bad elements". We want this course to be around (and maybe return to glory) for a long, long time. Please respect it and enjoy it.
