Really fun play space but beware it's in a very natural environment so you want to plan ahead and know your kiddos will be covered in dirt/ dust when done playing. A change of clothes will help. Enjoy!

First off the directions to this place are absolutely ridiculous. And nobody that works in library…read morecan give simple directions. You will be hand outdated map that is equally ridiculous. Google maps takes you to library. Long story short spent 45 minutes walking around looking for this place. Only to finally arrive and it is closed!!!! Site says open yet it is completely abandoned and CLOSED. Looked like a fun lil park to play yet it is closed. Don't waste your energy or time. There are absolutely no signs in the park to help you locate this place. Big Fat disappointment for my granddaughter!!!

There's a paved path around the area so people are jogging, biking and skating. This place would be better with more shade. It's still pretty far from the beach and pier. Parking meters are along the streets. $3 per hr, but you can pay in 10 mins increments.

Seems like a good park for older kids, but it's just okay for toddlers…read more Pros: Plenty of parking. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Large grassy areas. Clean. Picnic benches. Interesting play structure with tons of climbing (almost like a mini ropes course) for older kids. Cons: No bathroom. No shade. The playground says it's for ages 2-12, but there's hardly anything there for a 2-3 year old, so you quickly run out of things to do. The toddler play structure is tiny, and the older kids' play structure is inaccessible for toddlers because of all the climbing required to get on it.

First time at this park and it's quite fun for the kids. Toddler area available and it's clean! I…read morelike that it's got tar mat for the flooring and not sand. Some benches with shade for parents to sit and observe the kids. Ropes course. Quiet and peaceful. I'd consider coming back.

Wonderful summer spot for families with YOUNG KIDS!!!…read more Lots of different ways to play: Large grass area Lagoon/bay with sand and seashells Playground with lots of slides There are also lots of PICNIC TABLES at this location so it's easy to set up for breakfast or lunch. It's a very fun and safe environment for our kids and makes our summers days more fun! Our 3 year old enjoys the playground and the lagoon too. You have to PAY FOR PARKING but that's pretty normal for Newport Beach. We usually find parking very easily near here. Also, there are PUBLIC RESTROOMS and showers to rinse off available inside & next to the "lighthouse" - another thing that makes this spot easier with kiddos!

This park is very safe for toddlers. I took my two girls and I like how all the places where the…read morekids go is pretty enclosed. My girls love this park. However the ground has a bunch of holes that need to be fixed. Other than that, this park is very fun and I would recommend coming. Parking isn't bad. It has its own lot which is very easy to navigate. Also, it's not very busy at all. I came on a Saturday afternoon and there was no one there.

Such a beautiful park!! Large lake in the center with so much local wildlife (cranes, geese, ducks,…read moreother birds, very friendly squirrels). Great for a nice peaceful walk after studying, plus there is the Secret Garden (absolutely beautiful and so many types of flowers/plants)

After visiting Shipley Nature Center located in Huntington Central Park West, we had to come back…read moreto visit the east side of this park. We parked in the first lot that we drove by directly in front of the adorable Park Bench Cafe, which is located in the park. We walked the paved path from this location, which circled the large park. We passed the ponds with a variety of birds and turtles and took a break on the bench to bird watch. We also visited the very well maintained and beautiful Secret Garden. Bring a lunch and sit at a picnic table that you'll find sprinkled throughout the park. Be careful when walking on the grass, there was a lot of duck poop throughout. Overall, a great place to take pics, birdwatch or to go for a walk or run. There is one playground located in the park.

Certainly a good place to hit the wetlands from if you want to avoid the traffic of PCH and the line of fishermen posted up where they aren't supposed to be.

This park is legit!! Definitely stop by…read more Clean bathrooms (especially if you use the ones inside the library -- yes, there's a library ). There's a kids' area inside, and honestly as an adult, it's clutch when it gets too hot outside because you have a nice indoor space to cool off. Outside, there are cool zip-line style swings, play areas for both younger and older kids, and plenty of shaded spots. Major bonus points for no woodchips -- huge win. The library also has fun music exploration activities, which was a pleasant surprise. Plus, there are easy food options nearby, so you don't have to overthink meals. Parking was easy for me, though I can see it getting tricky during busier times. And to top it off, there's a nice boba spot close by, which always seals the deal Great family-friendly park with thoughtful details -- we'll definitely be back.
