    The nearest restroom from the pickleball courts.
 And where to find the nearest water refill station, though the water is very weak.
    Quinn N.

    tl,dr: Huge park. Variety of sports fields available. Likes: + In this park there are courts/fields for various sports, such as baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, and pickleball. Non-likes: - It's always a long walk from whichever parking lot you park at to whichever field you're going to play sports at. - The water bottle refill station closest to the pickleball courts is very weak. Slow pouring water. Pales in comparison to the Hydro Pump of a water station at Veterans Sports Park. - This park has only 5 picklball courts, 1 of which is a hybrid tennis court. What a waste. We know pickleball is taking over the nation by storm. We're gonna need hundreds of courts. Such a shame that the hybrid tennis court wasn't instead converted into 4 pickleball courts.

    One of my FAVORITE parks in Irvine! First discovered this park during COVID for fresh air walks, outdoor picnics, & Pokemon Go Pokestops. While I don't stop for spins anymore, I still LOVE stopping by to walk in circles around the pond! There are soooo many cool species of birds - from varieties of ducks to pelicans to black-crowned night herons to armies of geese. Of course... just gotta frogger over all that doodoo on the sidewalk... BUT BESIDES THAT.... WHAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK?! The SCENERY - the floof ball baby DUCKLINGS year round (even in July!) and the orange ball SUNSET across the pond :) The peeping sounds of ducklings with splashing sounds from the fountain are so serene. The park's just such a small yet cozy pretty sight to relax/decompress to after work. I also find it a good waiting spot when there's a long line for restaurants or long wait for DoorDash pickup nearby. Plenty of grass space (watch out for duckie doodoo) and tables for picnics. There's a gazebo, but I hardly ever sit inside it... either occupied or a lil dirty. Super spacious, easy, and ample parking. Overall great spot for dog walks, solo stroll, or catch up with friends over picnic!

    This park occupies a sprawling area but the central lake area is relatively small but nice. The man-made lake is the center piece surrounded by other fascilities. These include an arts center, a library, 2 children's playground, soccer field, baseball diamond, tennis court, and basketball court. A few shelters, restroom and grills in the picnic area. The aquatic center is close by just across the field. Lots of majestic trees that dotted the walking path provide needed shade for a sunny afternoon walk. At the time of our visit on an early Thursday afternoon, there were not that many visitors. There were however hundreds of ducks, mama and baby ducks on or near the lake. There were duck poos scattered over some nearby paths and makes it kind of difficult walking on the path without stepping onto some. Overall, it's a nice place to visit for a leisure stroll around the lake. Kids would definitely enjoy the playgrounds! I definitely would visit the park again!

    SUPERB PARK. Tons of parking, clean bathrooms, beautiful lake, excellent playground and plenty of shade to sit and watch your kids. I loved our time at this park and both my kid and I met some wonderful people to hang with. We will be coming back often.

    Water play area

    One of the best parks I've been to. There are many things to do for both kids and adults. Big playground area with sandbox and water play for kids. There is also a nice picnic area for parties, a small lake to walk around and read. Big fields and grassy area to play sports. It has almost everything that you would want to do at a park.

    Picnic area? Check. Kids playground? Check. Water play for kids? Check. Basketball courts, softball field, soccer field, tennis courts? Check, check, and check. Heritage community Park and everything that's needed for the whole family. There's a small man made lake located in the park. The atmosphere is pleasant and very relaxing. Best part about it is it's free to do all these things here. The park is well kept and clean and a very family friendly atmosphere. If you're looking to have a great time with the family or just sit solitaire, this might be the place for you.

    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!!

    The park is located on Harvard Ave just next to the Irvine Civic Center. There are plenty of…read moreparking spaces around the park area. We visited there on a Saturday around noon. There were quite a few cars in the lot already. However, we didn't see a lot of people milling around as the park covers quite an extensive area. The park features a flower garden with a fountain near its center. Beyond that are several picnic shelters amidst an elaborate children's playground. Further on, there is a large expanse of grass area amidst soccer fields, base ball diamond and tennis courts. There are paved walk paths through out the complex that winds up and down the various terrains. Overall it's a nice place to enjoy a leisure walk!
