Best Park

When one thinks of a park in Orange County, it usually brings up images of finely manicured grass, perfectly placed shade trees and a nice man-made pond with some intrusive ducks. These types of green spaces have their place of course, especially when it comes to family outings, but they are a dime a dozen. Yet parks that can offer a real natural setting are few and far between, especially when you consider how many of those places are being hoarded by the darling Irvine Co. Ironically enough, Irvine Regional Park offers both sides. Do you like ponds and swing sets? It has those. Do you enjoy riding bikes? It has paved sidewalks and a bike trail along the riverbed. Or do you enjoy meandering along dusty trails where critters scurry about? Half of the park is composed of such wilderness-esque areas. This is all before we even talk about the railroad, the horses, the lake, the zoo and the ridiculous amount of peacocks pecking around. With 477 acres, you can have the quintessential American picnic, or you can try to get lost, if even for a little while.
