We felt so relaxed when we were there and even took a nap! Unfortunately, we were woken up by the summer breeze. It can be quite chilly in the day if you're napping under a tree.

Hands down one of the cleanest, most convenient parks in the Irvine area!…read more There are several baseball fields, tons of gated tennis courts, playgrounds for the kids, countless picnic areas that are numbered for parties and gatherings. I think what makes this park stand out is the crowd. Any park can be beautiful but, without the proper maintenance from the park crew (and most importantly the park goers) it doesn't stand a chance. You see tons of regulars here with their dogs, families, kids. Everyone is friendly and respectful of one another. The dog crowd at this park is also one of the best I've seen. Although the park is not off leash, there's wide open areas for you to allow your fur family to play catch, run around, and have a bit of freedom! They do have a couple of posts that have doggie bags however, they run out quick so please do come prepared with your own poop bags just in case! There are plenty of water fountains throughout with water filling stations attached, so don't forget a bowl for your fur family!!

We were there for a friendship potluck, that would be located inside the Sweet Shade Clubhouse. The constructive feedback; the gentleman in charge of the clubhouse, (not sure how to put this) but I felt they were nitpicking, Requiring the trash bins / cans inside the clubhouse that stunk, with germs, bacteria, etc. had no Lysol, one had to reach in to get the replacement bags. Not very hygienic. I was under the impression that The two gentlemen in the clubhouse did not care and wanted us to dump the trash bags into the dumpster afterwards, which is fine, (and they weren't going to facilitate or lift the finger ) but there was trash - semi full and it would be really cool if they took out the trash bins to wash them out or had some type of antibacterial spray to use. - they didn't and it seem like they just didn't care.

There is a big open lawn for one to roam. There is a community garden with some vegetable and flower plants.

The great thing is that the ARC opens up at 6 am during normal hours, so you can get your work out in super early. It also closes pretty late, for those who like a work out at night. If you are a student at the ARC, I highly recommend trying the group fitness classes or the martial arts classes. Exercise regimen are just easier to maintain with a group, especially if you are just starting. Traditional Jiujitsu is taught by Ray, who is super chill and teaches you the fundamentals of self-defense. The Brazilian Jiujitsu class is taught by Harrison and Cheri, who are both upper belts under blackbelts Coach AJ / Coach Alex who teach at Valhalla Jiujitsu. They are extremely knowledgable, friendly, and know how to motivate a class and keep it fun.
