I really like this park…read more Upscale area, tons of free parking, seems safe, 4 restrooms, walking trails, playgrounds, athletic fields. Now those familiar with the restrooms at Irvine Parks--they are not as nice here but they do the job. I posted pictures. Like those stainless steel toilets (like prison cells.) All restrooms are gender neutral so just pick one of the four clusted together. We walked from here 2.5 miles (5 miles R/T) on paved trails all the way to the beach in front of the Ritz Carlton at Laguna. It was a great walk with hills. No restrooms along the way until you get to the beach. It's not obvious what direction to walk in to get to the beach but if you ask enough people and some trial and error you will get there and remember how to get back. If I had my way I would paint a red line with arrows the entire way. Definetely coming back here again.

There are no bathrooms, they keep the park clean and they have a cute nook that holds books for anyone to grab and or leave for the next person. Fort building during the summer is here and the park transforms with a lot of creativity from the little ones. Many like the uphill to get a run in or a good hike. There's something for everyone. If you want to go for a leisure walk, let the kiddos get their wiggles out or you want some good cardio.

This review is specifically for the toddler playground…read more I have been to another playground designed by the same manufacturer as this one and it's one of our favorites. I was excited to go to this park for a change of scenery but was severely disappointed immediately upon arrival. The equipment is so high off the ground that is impossible for small children to get on by themselves. There are sharp corners, bolts and plates exposed at the bottom of the equipment because so much of the wood chips are missing. The huge drops make it an extremely unsafe playground for toddlers. Obviously kids should be supervised at all times but at this age they should have a little independence to climb things on their own; you should not have to lift them onto every piece of equipment and stand there with arms open the whole time to ensure they don't fall from a large drop. There is one ramp and the rest of the playground is surrounded by a cement path which is a huge step for a toddler to try to take on their own. In theory this is a great park. The equipment is nice and it's enclosed (although the gate latch is broken off and rusted) but they need to add about 8+ inches of wood chips to make it reasonably accessible for the 2-5 age group. I spoke to another mom who said that she has been taking her child to this park for about a year and it has always been this way. I have a hard time believing I am the only one who has raised this concern, yet it appears that nothing has been done about it.

All the fields seem to be in excellent shape. There's tennis courts nearby as well as a kids playground. It looks like the restrooms are right next to the kids playground. Oh, I also see a barbecue area with a covered patio. Very nice park.

This immense park is located next to the Trabuco Mesa Elementary School on Avenida de Las Flores…read moreand off of Antonio Parkway. This is yet another beautiful, clean, well-manicured park located within the community of Rancho Santa Margarita in Southern Orange County, California. The park boasts three lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, four softball / athletic fields, playground equipment for the children, a lattice covered barbecue and picnic area, many tables and benches, and restrooms accessible to the residents of Rancho Santa Margarita with a key card. This appears to be a great park to enjoy a ball game or a lazy afternoon barbecuing with some family and friends, but a few days ago we ended up leaving much earlier than expected because of a couple of deciding factors. My first frustration was that there was only one large playground equipment structure, which had yellow caution tape and orange netting on multiple spots at the top that was haphazardly coming off. I'm not sure what needed to be worked on with the playground equipment, but I made sure that I steered my daughter completely away from that entire section. I could see that being a big liability issue for the city. Second, as a mother, I felt that the rude and extremely misbehaved children (and only children at the time) in the immediate playground area weren't the best influence for my little toddler. There really wasn't another play area to take her to because of there only being the one piece of playground equipment, unlike other parks in the area. We jumped into our car and immediately hopped over to Cielo Vista Park ending up with a much more pleasant experience for everyone involved!
