Melinda Park

The soccer field sucks!!! There have been so many injuries to the kids because of poor field management!!! It truly is a liability to the City of Mission Viejo!!!

I walk down to this park with my dog every so often when I’m feeling up to it. It’s an easy place to walk to for me from home. I walk around the field with my dog and then walk back home. We normally meet another dog or two at this park. It’s a nice clean park that has undergone some nice changes over the years. This has always been my go to park as a kid growing up. It’s clean and never too crowded. There is a area with picnic tables under a big roof where people sometimes celebrate birthday parties. I think you need to reserve the area though if you do plan a party. The bathrooms here are pretty typical for any park, not the best, but it’s convenient that they’re there. There’s also a drinking fountain and a basketball court. This place holds a lot of memories from my childhood. It’s a nice little peaceful place and I’m happy I live right by it.

It’s an uphill walk from my home, so quite a journey, and with 3 kids many rest stops. However once we are there they love this park I do get a little overprotective as it is a little bit and 3 heads to keep track of so sometimes I don’t care for the busy times. Other than that it’s a beautiful and relaxing park to sit on a blanket in the grass as the kids play… If your lucky and have extra eyes a nice book or quick nap would be heaven on earth

Love coming here! There are always so many great families to share a play date with. It’s a great big park with a huge field for my little one to run a muck on. He’s full of energy and loves coming here. Bonus? He sleeps like a newborn baby after a day here! Love Melinda park and have recommend to many of my mom friends.

Yet another beautiful, clean, well kept and manicured park located in Southern Orange County is the Melinda Park located at the corner of Santa Margarita Parkway and Melinda Road. This large approximately 8 acre park within the Mission Viejo community offers a large picnic gazebo structure with multiple large picnic tables and a barbecue, which are available for rental for parties along with multiple play structures for young children as well as a softball field, football field and basketball court.
There are steel mesh benches scattered throughout the park, which provide a great view of the kids from all angles. The playground is located on sand with recycled rubber under all of the equipment, so don’t forget to pack some sand toys for your little ones. It is a little noisier compared to other parks in our own neighborhood because of it’s location between two busy streets, but still a nice option if you’re in the area.

LOVED the park. I had my son’s 1^st birthday there. $ 25.00 for the covered area was a great deal. I had about 50 – 60 people and it accommodated them nicely. The city worker came and emptied all of the trash from the group prior to ours which was nice. The restrooms are clean and well maintained. The park is not too big or too small and offers a variety of things to play on at all different age levels. The perfect place for his 1^st birthday.

Suki and I have been hitting up most of the parks in the area because of her obedience level 2 class which required us to be outside at the park amongst distractions. We met her classmates here a few Saturdays ago. Immediately we observe that there is a little parking lot to park in but there is plenty of street parking as well. The place is obviously dog friendly because there are doggy bag dispensers at various points around the perimeter. Suki was really good with all the soccer playing kids but had trouble with the ones on skateboards. There’s a small playground, picnic areas, and plenty of grass to romp around in. Suki isn’t allowed to be off-​leash but we’ll have her on the long line so she can run around still tethered to me. Pretty quaint little neighborhood park.

Clean and relaxing park for your fun adventures. I didn’t really get too stay too long. Nice little playground for the kids and all..
