    Heisler Park Rules
    Jemiah J.

    So many pretty plants, beautiful architecture, and animals fill this park. It was great to visit and enjoy the views and surroundings at Heisler Park. This park really complements the coastal beach views around the area.

    This park has been on my bucket list for years. Finally, took the time to drive up there with a couple of my friends before heading out to lunch. Our main purpose is to put in our steps while embracing the spectacular ocean views. That didn't work out because we decided to walk down to the beach instead and relax just listening to the crashing waves. So soothing to our ears while we ease our mind into a calm setting. There were some caves to explore also great for pictures as a backdrop. We didn't get the chance to check out the tide pools area, but will definitely do that next time. The park was super clean with lots of nice grassy areas. Little arts and artifacts were displayed throughout the park. Very intriguing to see while strolling along the miles stretch of the pathway. I will absolutely return in the future for some peace and majestic ocean views.

    What a beautiful park. I was two weeks postpartum and wanted to challenge myself to step out of the house with our fresh newborn. We took a drive out to Laguna Beach to enjoy some fresh air and it was just beautiful. I loved coming here to walk around safely with my newborn. We brought the bassinet with us and it worked out perfectly for our stroll. Also, the beaches here are beautiful! I felt like I was in Hawaii for a second.

    Heisler Park is located in Laguna Beach and offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. It has miles of coastline and beaches throughout to relax. The park also has BBQ pits, picnic tables, and restrooms. The tables make the park a great place to have a picnic and take in the sights. There are some pockets of parking but it's mostly street parking where you pay on the meters or conveniently on your phone. It's a really beautiful park and beach that offer walking paths to enjoy their beauty.

    Heisler Park is one of the best parks in Laguna beach! It's pretty large for a beach park. It has a clear walking path,places to sit down to look out at the ocean, and bbq pit areas. Very clean! Plenty of restrooms to use and are clean as well. This area is safe as well. Laguna beach police are actively around to monitor the area. Also, the park is dog friendly. My favorite part are the sunsets you will be able to get a spectacular view of the sunset from any point in the area.

    10.11.25 - visited this place for the first time and wow, it was beautiful! It's a great place to go for a walk and get in some exercise or to relax and hang at. You can go down to the beach as well. There are many spots where you can stop at and just take in the view. My favorite spot was the view from the gazebo. At the time I visited, there was a violinist playing in the gazebo. That was nice. We parked over by Urth Cafe since we ate there before walking over. Parking was a bit tough to find. We had to circle around a few times. I'm not sure if it was as packed in other areas around the park but I imagine it was.

    I came here around 6pm to walk and get my steps in. I saw a video on IG about Heisler Park touting it as the best park in OC and calling it a "hidden gem" . Well it's no hidden gem but it's absolutely beautiful. Keep in my that it is a park so there a picnic tables and a grassy area and most importantly the Pacific Ocean is your backdrop. Yes, you can fully access the beach from the stairs leading to the beach. My only issue was parking. It gets crowded so it may take a minute to find a parking spot. There is metered parking until 7pm daily payable by cash or credit card. I did see a trolley running down the main road adjacent to the beach. That might to use instead of fighting with parking. Overall. I really this park. It's families but it's also very romantic!

    Great place to come to during the day for picnics. Bring your doggies for walks and to meet other doggies. Or just come on a late night romantic walk to listen to the waves. My favorite go to place for a late night drive to and get away and reflect.

    Awesome place for an outdoor workout.

    Heisler Park is so breathtakingly beautiful, that every time I go here (even though I only live 10 minutes away), I feel like it's the first time! I've traveled the world, and I will say, it is one of the most spectacular pieces of land anywhere on earth. The beauty is on par with Maui, it actually feels like you're in Hawaii when you are there! It truly takes your breath away, and clears the mind of any stress. It's such an enjoyable pathway to walk your dog and just soak in the breathtaking vistas. The lush greenery, the beautiful trees, flowers and plants, everything is perfection! They also have easily accessible and clean public bathrooms. It's such a great place to go with family, have a picnic, read a book, meditate, do yoga, just spend time go & inward. You want to be completely present and soak in the natural beauty! It is a must see destination for anyone who loves nature, the ocean, marine life, and amazing positive energy! I spend a lot of time here and always enjoy myself thoroughly. If you're having a bad day, go to Heisler Park!

    Interesting I've never reviewed Heisler before. A great place to enjoy the beach, from sun up to sun down. There's tide pools, decent waves, great scuba diving, and just an all around good place to enjoy Laguna from! :)

    Seems to be a popular place for hanging out and photo shoots. There's an upper level with grass and benches where you can see the ocean, and then the actual beach down some stairs where you can walk, lounge in the sand and watch the surfers, seagulls and more. There are restaurants alongside the beach as well with nice views.

    BBQ grills, bring your own charcoal

    Was brought out here by my brother, we were going to a Global Underwater Explorers 2024 community day! We came early morning to set up at the bbqs and score about four to six picnic tables for all the scuba divers. Really clean and safe park with breathtaking views of the ocean. I enjoyed a short walk up and down the park looking at the sculptures and people walking their cute dogs. A family friendly park, I felt really at peace and relaxed after taking in the fresh air. Wonderful temperature at this time of year just can have a bit of the coastal marine layer that makes the sky grey but burns off as the day gets on. Parking is metered, so make sure you put enough time as the metermaids are in full force at this neighborhood. Trust you will get a ticket if you have anything from expired tags or go over the limit!
