    Very cute spot for the community. Came here for a small hike with my son. Botanical garden, well taken care of. We enjoyed out walks here, would definitely recommend for families with small kids too. We would definitely be back.

    We went to the community Wicked Movie and it was a lovely experience. The staff had fun arts and crafts for the kiddos before the movie and they brought Glinda! My daughter was star struck Popcorn was served throughout the movie.

    What a great spot! Between the jungle gyms, splash pad, botanical gardens, public restrooms and plethora of picnic tables, you can't go wrong! I definitely recommend!

    Summer movie in the park event.  Monsters, Inc.

    I discovered this park due to the special free outdoor movie night event the other day. I appreciate how the park system is trying to safely encourage and invite the community to enjoy the great outdoors. This park is extremely well-maintained and beautiful, easy to enter, plentiful parking and the bathroom in the community center is modern and pristine. The park is spacious. Great for picnics and for lounging or reading. The amphitheater is a wonderful setting for movie nights and concerts. Next week, there's an '80's concert at the amphitheater. There are so many fantastic parks in OC. We are truly blessed. If you're feeling hesitant to travel during these pandemic times, consider exploring a new park every month. There's something so refreshing and cheerful about having a new experience. Let it boost your mood. Free and you don't have to travel far. Thank you, park staff!

    Awesome stadium

    A must location for a concert in the park. What a great time and place for families and friends where you can sit on the grass, have a location to view the band and listen to good acoustic quality music. From what i understand, its every other Friday during the summer months and starts around 630 pm. The suggest no pets and for sure no smoking, but drinking is allowed during the concert and confined to the venue only. Sheriff's are always close by just in case but youll quickly see the audience is and from what ive experienced all families and friends out for a free evening of music and fun and perhaps a little dancing. A must to do and dont forget to wear your fit bit for the dancing portion which happens towards the lower portion of the stadium.

    Crazy busy

    This is a community park with a splash pad, some climbing frames and a garden (I think, we didn't check it out). In the same space is the YMCA, so you are in competition for a parking spot with them too. There is parking right in front of the splash pad, but that fills up very quickly. There's then a larger car park round the back. The splash pad was super crowded when I went on Friday morning just after 10. It opens at 10. As others have mentioned, you get older kids and younger kids, so if you have a little one it may be a bit overwhelming for them with the big kids running about.

    This is the perfect water spray park for the kids. Not too big yet not too small. My kids can spend hours here after school. I need to invest in a nice folding chair with umbrella. There is only one small area with shade for parents and the real housewives of Laguna niguel claim that area for the whole day. The only downside and reason that i gave it 4 stars is (that lack of shade for parents) and also the floor is made of cement/concrete. When you mix water with kids... you cant exactly tell them no running or be careful. It doesn't work like that. They are kids and they are clumsy. In my 4 hours here (so far, still here) ive seen 3 kids fall and bust open their knees. Just in one day. The floor should definitely get a makeover of that recycled rubber that you see in every other park. It only makes sense to have soft rubber with water rather than cheese grader knee eating concrete. I really hope someone from the city sees this and does something asap. These kids are getting hurt just being kids. Please change the floor in the splash pad to recycled rubber.

    Can't wait for the weather to warm up and take the kiddos to the splash pad!!! Hopefully my 5yr old will still love this place. It's free. It's clean. There are life guards present to keep kids safe such as not drinking the water and not running. There is a small spot of shaded space for parents to sit. It's new. It's free. It's at a public park. There is also dry playground kids can play at! A fun place! Definitely worth taking the kids!

    Note this is a panorama, and you have to click to see it. Both playgrounds plus slight view of splash area.

    - Splash pad The splash pad seems as good as the one at Boomer's but at no charge. A bit more crowded though. They have a variety of items such as buckets of water that fill up and fall, a waterfall, squirt guns, and a little toddler area with small fountains and a turtle among others. This is one of the main reasons to come here. - Playground Has a bit of variety for those that like to climb. You can climb animals on the smaller playground and "rocks" on the larger. Has little learning stations where you can push buttons and get sounds and they explain either about water or animals depending on the station. Has some slides, not too impressive on the slides. I didn't see any swings, overall the playgrounds were OK. I did like the climbing statues. The playground is NOT a main reason to come here. - Community center The park has a community center inside for swimming and such. The pool is kept at a very nice temperature and it's a nice place to swim. - Paths Nice paths are another good reason to come here, they even have a botanical preserve. Many parts of it is undeveloped and they warn about rattlesnakes so I would be careful taking pets down there, but it is nice to walk down. I haven't had any issues, but there is a filtered review here about a lady who's dog got bit by a rattlesnake. - Soccer field They have a soccer field, not too interesting to me but maybe worth a mention. - Events Various events get hosted here and they have a amphitheater, if interested they have the events on the city website: http://www.cityoflagunaniguel.org/calendar.aspx?CID=25

I say this because…read moreof the copious amounts of goose poops everywhere and the amount of shrieking children it contains. Parking is plentiful but you will be paying $3-5 per vehicle. It's best to use the OC Park pass if you have one or just park at the nearby shopping center. Another gripe I have is the foul stench of the lake / reservoir. Not long ago, hundreds of dead fishes floated about and it was left like that for days. It's near the water reclamation facilities and even on sunnier clearer days, it just seems not worth walking nearby with dogs. So as much as I like the convenient location and the recreational facilities perfect for those with kids, it's just not for dog owners like me.

The garden displays plants from the Mediterranean climate regions of the world. Some of the ones included are an Australian garden, California, Chilean, Formal, Rose, and South African garden. I liked how many of the bushes or plants had plaques with the plant names, so you knew what you were looking at. The preserve was a maze of little paths with a fair amount of stair climbing and some steep parts. This might not be the best for high heels if on a date or for bringing an elderly parent who can't walk too far. I loved all the wildflowers abound. Some highlights were the rose garden, (more rustic than manicured) the lily pond, and bridge.
