I was disappointed to see trash at the half circle concrete benches since there was a trash can only 2 feet away. The residence or city keeps the seating stones and statues in clean, good condition.

The playground facilities are also wonderful! There are something for all age groups! Our 5 and 2 year old loved it. They also have restrooms inside the park with multiple stalls. I also loved that the park is gated! So little ones shouldn't be able to run out of the park as easily.

Really nice park! It's a little hidden gem. My son loved riding his bike around on the path and…read morechecking out the slides that are hidden in the hillside. The rocketship tower was also a huge hit! Plenty of shade, and a big open grass area that would be great for playing sports or even a picnic. The park was clean for the most part, as well as the restrooms. It's a pretty enclosed space so it feels safe. Only street parking available!

I've been coming to Inspiration Point for many years, and I still enjoy it every time I visit…read more I usually bring my dog here for a walk so She can enjoy the ocean breeze and watch the sunset with me. Sometimes I bring a blanket, sit on the grass, and bring some food to have a little picnic. It's a simple thing, but I always enjoy spending time here with the ocean view and the sound of the waves. I also like that they have bags available the area in case you need to clean up after your dog. I noticed there is a one of stations near the end of the street where you can grab them. From here, you can walk down toward little Corona del Mar and get closer to the beach. You can also walk on the sand, but personally I prefer staying up here because it feels cleaner and more convenient when I don't need to go down to the beach. Street parking is available nearby, but you may need to drive around a little to find a spot for parallel parking.

Love this small beach community with a rich Japanese American history. We were here for the…read moreJapanese American culture day in June. We were told to get there early before the Los Trancos parking lot is full. We got there on a Saturday around 10:30am and there was only one row in the back with open spots. We opted to take the short walk downhill to the beach rather than wait to take the shuttle. It was a nice walk and there's a cool tunnel along the way too. The visitor center and gift shop were very nice. Everyone working there was super friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they love their jobs. The beautiful beach was busy but clean. There's a nice restaurant there with great Bloody Mary's and food. It does get busy on the weekends.

They have both wide fire roads and single track roads that you can choose from, with varying levels of difficulty. Everything was well marked, and didn't see too many people when I went.

This is also dog friendly since there are poop bags provided at intermittent part of the trail.

There are signs to guide you so just stick to the signs and you'll be ok.
