I love this park! I meet families from all over the county that come with their kids to use the water feature area. The picnic area is well shaded and can be reserved for birthday parties and such. Large BBQ area, nice mix of playground equipment, grass and sport court. Makes an easy stop when hiking the peters canyon Mountains to the Sea trail as is Cedar Grove and Citrus parks, which are easy walks South of Pioneer Park. Enjoy!

Literally, a hidden gem! Secluded, clean, and has some pretty awesome amenities! This is one of my favorite parks in OC. Came here on one occasion for a birthday party and it felt like we had the entire park all to ourselves. The water feature was such a popular amenity with the kids(water shuts off at 4pm) while the basketball court was a hit with the big guys. I like that their jungle themed playground is huge with a mini zip line that even adults can play with. Their swings are ample(2 for toddlers and 6 for the older kids/adults). The covered wagons are pretty cool, too. Great for photo ops! Our second visit to this park was over the weekend. The weather was nice so we decided to hang out there with the kids. There were two other families while we were there. One was having a picnic on their grassy section while the other family was taking pics by the wagons. I love that it’s not crowded even on a nice day. The covered picnic area is great for parties and can be rented for a fee. There are several picnic tables(with no shade) all over the park and lots of concrete seating available. We finally found the perfect venue for our daughter’s birthday in the summer and we are nothing but excited! Restroom facilities, check! Parking, check!

Beautiful Park! Love it for so many reasons! 1. It’s off the beaten path. You need to drive a bit down a residential street to find it. 2. Gorgeous yellow flowers in bloom! 3. Play area is well maintained. Monkey bars are lower for smaller kids. 4. Covered wagon themed play area is awesome. 5. Covered picnic area is cool and shady. Lots of stone and concrete. 6. Water cannon and fountain area is FUNFUNFUN! 7. Lots of swings available. No siblings fighting over them! 8. Plenty of parking. 9. Lots of trees. Makes you feel like you’re somewhere in the country. 10. My nephew loved it! And he’s a playground connoisseur! Please add this park to the list of «must visit’s» This summer. Pack your little one’s swimsuits and let them go crazy in the fountain area. There are 3 water cannons to play with, which randomly alternate in water pressure. My nephew had a screaming good time! Do note: Bring some band-aids and antibiotic crème juuuuust in case they run and bite the dust in the water area. Unfortunately, its not equipped with the foam flooring, rather hard concrete. My nephew remained standing, but I can see accidents happening if they’re running around in there long enough.

We had my son’s first birthday here and it was wonderful! A nice quiet little neighborhood park with all the amenities you would need. Bathrooms are pretty clean for a public park! 2 electrical outlets at the party shelter. Perfect spot!
