Santiago creek is a mixture or even a combination of two major parks. One, hart park and the other…read moreSantiago park. The watershed is the in between. Both offer goof parking availability, both are well placed for long distance running, with paths consistent of dirt trails of pavement and concrete, with a few obstacles, all of which are easy to moderate. It seems like a good place for walkers, joggers runners and for bikers . The paths at hart park starts by the old buildings of the swimming pool area. Crossing towards the west, you'll come across a few highway overpasses and an archery park, and a open air auditorium . Along the way, a dry water shed that connects to Santiago park, which has been in redevelopment . New trails, new kids park, new arbory and cleaned up trails. The trail extends into and past the science center and willl make its way to the entrance of the mall, by Broadway. On your return trip, there will be outlets by the rail, that lead out to the neighboring community. Total path in and out can 2 to 4 ... but can extend to over 8 miles... if one follows east of hart park. Overall, great family trails, clean, quiet and welcoming and beyond all else, made for everyone to have fun. Rating of 3.9 to 4.1 stars

There is a small lake that I saw some people using to fish. There are also three baseball fields. There is a paved trail that goes around the entire park. The trail must be maybe a half-a-mile loop. Along the trail there are two playground areas for kids (one small and one large), a single full court basketball court, and a pretty substantial work out area with pull up bars and foam floors. I know this is Santa Ana but overall I felt safe here and only saw one homeless guy at the far end who wasn't bothering anyone. Can't give it five-stars because it is an older park with some wear and no pristine amenities but because of that it is very pleasant and quiet. Dog friendly.

It's a decent park whenever the homeless camps aren't around. The amenities make it amazing to…read morehangout with friends. The bathrooms definitely need more maintenance. Avoid being alone on the trail or be cautious because many homeless camps have been on the trail. The benches need cleaning and definitely avoid the steel looking benches. The pool definitely should be open more than it currently is to attract consistent activity. It looks like the city is trying to pay more attention to the park after the pickleball courts. The football field is exclusive to schools. The tennis courts and volleyball courts see considerable use during the weekend. The volleyball community will kick you off the court even if the "other guys haven't arrived". I saw a patrol car on the trail investigating some of the homeless camps under the bridges. Anywhere but investigating the ones in the park.

Driving south on Mabury Street, I saw a number of people hanging out in the northern "panhandle" section of the park. That wasn't where I was headed. I parked on the street, and walked up to the pavilion providing shade for half a dozen picnic tables. I had the area to myself until a young couple seated themselves at another table. They were nice and quiet. Good luck finding out more information about Mabury Park online. I can't. Mabury Park apparently is also the name of the surrounding neighborhood. If you see me on my lunch break, say hi.

My wife and I have lived in a condo overlooking this park since 2007. We walk our dogs here every night. We're glad it's here.

There are picnic benches, places to barbecue, trash cans that have recently been emptied. There's a man over there with his bike, just like me, just sitting and looking at what's going on around him. A man is jogging and a woman is doing her calisthenics. It's a quiet and peaceful oasis in the middle of the city.

This is one of our favorite neighborhood parks! There are six large benches, which are great if you're having a party and need to accommodate lots of people! There are a few benches on the other side of the park and scattered throughout with lots more trees around them, but you do not have a great view of the playground. The Play structures are in really great condition, there are two regular swings and two infant/toddler swings, a basketball court, and a large baseball/softball field with lots of grassy area for running as well. There seems to be a small recreation center and restrooms, but they are blocked off by a large covered gate. I'm assuming for a construction.
