Water features attract a lot of fowl including Canadian geese, mallard ducks and so many more duck species, plus of course seagulls and crows, pigeons, and a large number of turtles.

Playground equipment geared for the 3 to 12 year old kids. Lots of covered sheds and picnic tables- those are available for Cerritos residents to rent, but otherwise are free for use. Also has grills if you want to barbecue. Clean bathrooms, onsite toddler pre-K programs offered. Lots of well maintained grassy areas and shady trees.

The lake area with the little church in the background is a nice touch, makes it feel more relaxing and not just your typical park. Good walking paths, plenty of grass, and nice spots to just sit and chill. Everything felt well kept and safe, which is a big plus when you're bringing kids. Plenty of room so it didn't feel overcrowded either. Only thing watch out for duck poop on the walkways and grass, especially near the water. Overall, great spot for families. Definitely coming back

It's a great place to bring your lunch or sit on the grass and enjoy a good book. The play area was remodeled not long ago and is a great place for kids to play and run around. If you're into visiting historic homes like I am, the Neff Estate is a must visit. Tours are given every third Saturday of the month from 2-4 pm. Tours are free, donations accepted. The George House and Neff Barn are also on site, however they are not part of the tour. During La Mirada's Halloweenfest, the George House is open for viewing and the Neff Barn is turned into a haunted maze. There is a beautiful gazebo on site as well, perfect for special occasion photos.

This review is on the Historic Dreger Clock…read more You may remember the 4-sided,15 ft.tall clock that was displayed at Knott's Berry Farm for 50 years (1953-2003). It first sat in the "Ghost Town" area of the park in the rose garden. I remember it was in front of the bakery. It was eventually moved out front near their ticket booths. Then, it disappeared. The "Dreger Clock" was built by Andrew Dreger Sr. from 1928 to 1933. It showed the time, date, moon phases and 12 international cities. When finished he placed it outside his home in Long Beach where he built his wood frame home that withstood the quake of 1933 when other brick buildings collapsed. For 20 years he kept the clock in working order. After his death, Walter Knott saved the clock where it was enjoyed by thousands of visitors to Buena Park. In 2003, it fell into disrepair and was removed and placed in a warehouse. In 2007, the clock was purchased by the Buena Park Historical Society and an extensive restoration effort began. After a complete disassembling, cleaning, paint and repair, a special designed stand post was set near the historic Whitaker-Jaynes House, built in 1887 and now a museum across from the Civic Center on Beach Blvd. This became the new home for the clock. The dedication event for the restoration was Oct.3, 2009. It's a beautiful sight to see today.

I wish there were more Asian food options. My hubby ordered from the bbq place upstairs called Encultura. His burger and fries were $30, however, it is Wagyu beef and it had brisket it in. It was absolutely delicious! 5/5! I ordered a fish and chips from Chippy. It was reasonably priced, but lots of grease was on my plate. I give it a 3/5. I also ordered a Michelada from The Iron Press. They used their own pickled beer. I know that sounds disgusting but surprisingly it was so good! It is definitely a must try if you like Micheladas! 5/5! We came on Father's Day and they were playing live music and it wasn't too busy which was nice. But we drove an hour and a half to come here and I don't think the food options offered was worth the hour and a half drive.

Though it's just a short stretch, Historic Main Street is one of the key historical landmarks in…read moreGarden Grove. In the 19th century, many people were migrating to the Midwest and Western U.S., and Garden Grove was one of the cities established by these settlers. Originally an agricultural community, Garden Grove was known for its orange and stone fruit farms (which is why early homes always had orange trees in the backyard). Main Street was the hub for community gatherings, which led to the development of surrounding services like post offices, churches, and local shops. In 1905, the introduction of the Pacific Electric Railway boosted the transportation of agricultural products from Garden Grove, making it easier for farmers to ship their goods. By the 1950s, with the rise of highways and suburbanization, local businesses began moving to larger shopping malls and newly developed towns, leaving Main Street's glory days behind. However, after 1980, there was a greater focus on historical preservation, and the city of Garden Grove invested resources to restore and maintain these original buildings. Today, many of these old structures have been given new life, housing restaurants, cafés, and thrift stores. The area also hosts annual events like car shows, concerts, and festivals, which help promote local culture and keep the economy thriving. Garden Grove is also one of the primary destinations for Asian immigrants in Orange County. The city has a diverse population, with about 42% Asian, 17% White, 15% Hispanic (White), and 14% Hispanic. Around 44% of the residents are naturalized U.S. citizens who were born outside the U.S. On weekdays, the street is pretty quiet, with most people hanging out inside the cafés. I took a walk around and came across the quirky Elvis-themed Mexican restaurant, Azteca Restaurant & Lounge, the popular Vietnamese coffee shop Phin Smith, another Vietnamese café called Phuc Long Coffee and Tea, and a thrift store that, to my surprise, sells wedding dresses and formal gowns! It was a fun and relaxed afternoon. Garden Grove Historic Main Street Free parking.
