Love strolling through Canyon View Park but only on weekdays…read more Parking here is nonexistent. You have to parallel park in specific areas and specific side of the street only. It's in the middle of a residential neighborhood and it will be hard to park during the weekends. It's an otherwise peaceful area to walk around in unless you have the unfortunate encounters with unleashed dogs, shrieking children due to the two playgrounds, or inconsiderate people talking extremely loudly on their smartphones. Sometimes you will encounter all 3 and by then, the walk with my dogs are ruined. My one dog is extremely shy and timid so I frequently have to carry her back to the car with another pulling beagle in tow. No fun at all. The poop bag stations are inconsistently filled and the park has dog droppings hidden in any areas of the grass or sidewalk. So if your dogs tend to eat stuff off the ground, WATCH OUT! Mine tried to roll in it and I so didn't appreciate it. The park also leads to several different trails that allows dogs for some of the paths. It will be an extremely steep hill to climb up and down if you access it from the Canyon View Park side. Not for the faint of heart and be aware it has little to no shade. Bring water, and don't attempt to climb if you have sandals on. It will get your feet dusty and good pair of NB or Hokas would really help. In all, I think it's a decent park to go to, but not my first choice due to noise, dog droppings, and ease of access. Avoid on weekends unless you like crowds.

There were quite a few people walking their dogs while we were there. I was surprised to find 2 playgrounds for toddlers and a swing set for a small park. The park does have a covered gazebo but no BBQ grill. Each of the three table can easily seat 8 people. I'm not sure whether reservation is needed or first come first serve. The park doesn't have a parking lot so I parked on the street. Btw, there is no restroom on-site as far as I can see. there is no restroom on-site Overall it is a nice green space for its neighbors.

I walk to Costeau Park on most days and spend a few minutes sitting there. Over the years, this…read morepark has been fairly well maintained, but the traffic noise from Alicia Parkway and the 405 freeway is very loud. The sod "baseball diamond" has had the grass removed and has been surfaced with red clay soil. There are no bases and I have never seen anyone playing real baseball or softball there. I think it is a waste of space and should have been left grassy. Dog owners are generally responsible and dog waste bags are provided. Many parents come with small children who use the playground area. As well, the basketball court gets frequent use. Overall, it is a decently maintained area for a short visit.

It is a beautiful flat, grassy park (very important for parents who are keeping an eye on little ones) with a lot of wide open space with views of the Santa Ana Mountains and Whiting Ranch. There is a large grassy field area, a covered (sails) toddler playground and kid playground, sand and rock and rope climbing play area, half basketball court, covered picnic table areas with barbecue grills, a nicely paved walking path around the grassy park area, multiple water fountains with dog fountain options, built-in work out stations throughout the park and a restroom. A cute park stop for all ages!

This is a very nice neighborhood park atop the hill in Portola Hills. Aside from shaded playground…read moreareas there are restrooms, picnic shelters and several exercise machines located along the cement pathway which encircles the park. This is a very popular place for locals to walk their dogs. At the far end of the park is a viewpoint that overlooks Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park with a small monument thanking firefighters for stopping a wildfire from reaching the community in 2007. An eastern entrance to Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park is located at this park and quickly descends downhill. Trail maps are available at the trailhead entrance. There is limited parking so on busier days you might find yourself parking on the street. If so, please be careful crossing the street to the park - many Portola Hills residents are elitists who ignore the stop sign at the crosswalk and run right through it. I've witnessed several near-misses with pedestrians so please use caution and don't expect the cars to actually stop.

Baker Ranch Community Park is nestled within the Baker Ranch community. Parking is very limited…read morehere so we try to time it when it's not too busy. The restrooms are clean which is always a plus for a park. BRCP, has many benches/tables for gatherings close enough to where your kids can play. The playground is pretty large for the older kids. There is a little one for the much smaller children off to the side. What I like about this playground though is the flooring. They have this very cushioned floor instead of wood chips. When our kids trip or fall, they don't get badly hurt and they for sure don't get splinters or wood chips stuck in their shoes. Behind the tables is a basketball court that you can easily see from the tables if in case you're worried about your kids running off to play. It's easy to keep an eye on them from there. Beyond what I've already mentioned, I don't know what else this park has to offer because it's as far as we have gone for play dates or birthdays parties at the park. It's a nice place for kids to play. I only wish parking wasn't so limited.
