The playground is for everyone to use and share obviously but when one mom decides to throw a party…read moreand has a bunch of older kids that are bullying younger ones it becomes an unsafe environment for everyone who's trying to enjoy the playground. Today at around 3:15 pm there was some kind of party with small and older kids 5-12 years of age and just one parent supervising them. There was so much going on and the kids were all over the park so there's no way one mom could be able to pay attention to every single one. Some older kid stepped on my toddler while he was on the slide and clearly no one explained to him that's not what you're supposed to do when you're sharing a playground with someone else so we had to leave sooner than we planned to. Parents if you can't handle 10 kids at once by yourself don't bring them to public places like a park instead have a party in your backyard and be considerate to others if your kids can't behave and be nice. It is such an unusual thing to witness in such beautiful neighborhood and it's really frustrating we had to go through this today ourselves.

Took my 9 year old nephew to this park. We were wasting time before our big Disneyland trip the…read morenext day. I actually found it on Yelp. It was a Tuesday afternoon around 3pm. We easily found street parking. Could be a problem I guess on busy times. I love the soft foam cushion surface. Very colorful and had some "nice modern twist " of old fashioned regular play ground activities. I love that most if not all the children were being watched by parents, grandparents etc. my nephew loved the big slides and rock climbing mountain. I got so much joy from watching all the kids play. Nice seeing them be kids instead of playing video games.

Hands down our favorite playground! Has something for all ages! Mom and baby swings, reg baby…read moreswings, and larger swings! Brought my baby here every day to learn how to walk since it has such a huge padded area. It's handicap accessible. There's a decent amount of shade. Plenty of parking. A water refill. A restroom. The only thing it's missing are sprinklers lol. Love all the different slides, the tree you can climb into, the rock tunnel, everything!

My daughter, a RSM resident, reserved the park for my grandson's birthday party for a reasonable fee. This park has a playground for kids 5 and under, and a separate playground for kids 5 to 12. Perfect for a medium/large party with a lot of kids. The adjacent baseball field is in pretty good shape with wooden dugouts for teams playing. Together with he scoreboard, it is surely enjoyed by local teams.

Found this playground and park today and so happy we did!…read more It is small and perfect for my three year old. The playground says it's 5-12 years old but actually was really good for my three year old. The playground does have bathroom, (key access), tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court, huge grass area, bbq , gazebo , and close to the walking trail! Parking is limited as it's street parking, but on a weekday we found parking easily. Will be coming back here soon!

Cute little pocket park in Rancho Santa Margarita. It's not gated, like many of the SAMLARC…read morefacilities. Nice place for a little picnic, or to stop for water if you're on a run. (The latter is what I do!) There is a little trail that runs right behind it, which is nice for enjoying the outdoors. I often see folks walking their pups. Based on its location, this park is best accessed by walking to it. 2018: 30/100

We came to this park specifically for the splash pad. It's open from Memorial Day to Labor Day…read more It's a long park. Just keep driving on till you see the signs for the playground and splash pad. The splash pad has smaller splashers on one end good for younger kids and bigger slashers more in the middle and the other end. I was worried about my toddler going under the buckets because the water comes down with pretty heavy force. My kid accidentally went under it and he shockingly didn't get splatted down. It's convenient that the playground is right next to the splash pad. The kids had a great time and my son has asked to come back already. We didn't have issues with parking mid week but I can imagine it may be tight on the weekend.

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.

3 stars for parking and no playground:…read more I came here on a Wednesday morning and nearly all the street parking was taken. I'm not sure if that it usual or not. The parking is also on a hill, so I hope you feel confident parallel parking against gravity. There's no playground here, but that wasn't what I came for. If you walk straight past the toilets there is an opening onto a trail. I'm not sure the trail name. Pretty soon off the trail there is a small opening that leads to a really cute waterfall and an area where kids can splash about about. This bit is really cool and my kid had a great time exploring. 5/5 for this.

This is a very nice neighborhood park situated next to the high school…read more It is used for youth soccer games and can accommodate up to four medium sized fields. There is also a restroom, playground and three picnic shelters, A medium sized and two small shelters. The medium picnic shelter also has charcoal barbecues. The grass area is large with plenty of room to run around and play. They must have a good watering system here because the grass is green and well irrigated. The park has trees surrounding all sides so it provides some amount of shade however the trees are all around the perimeter so there's not a lot of shade on the inside of the park. I don't see a parking lot but there is a fair amount of street parking available.

Newly renovated park!!!…read more It's a tot lot. Gated. Perfect when you have multiple kids! It's a little tricky to find. It's up on a hill with a great view of Aliso Viejo and surrounding cities. It is half rubber foam and half sand in the playground. There is not a big area for just sand play but enough to bring a few sand toys. Nicely shaded. Beautiful view. There is 2 slides. No swings. No bathrooms. Just FYI. Bring your own portable potties MOMS!

The other reviews are right on…read more Fenced and gated. For smaller kids. It's marked ages 5 to 12 on the equipment, but most of the equipment is really ages 2 to 7. Only a couple of larger elements of the climbing structure are for older kids. It's really right to call this a "Tot Lot." The day we were there, there were several smaller kids with family/nannies. The kids interacted with each other more than we've seen at other parks. There was much sharing of toys, dolls, etc. A great place for the little ones. (For older ones, consider Canyon View/Canyon Vista Park.)
