IRVINE REGIONAL PARK REVIEWS
This is a very popular park and it's huge. You either come here early in the morning or late in the evening, otherwise you might spend some time waiting in the car for a parking space. There are so many to explore. You can walk, rent a bike, or just find a spot for the picnic. There's even a small zoo attached. We love this place a lot.
Visited from Ohio and spent a few hours there in the morning. Rented a 4 person bike, which was a fun way to see the park. We were able to loop the park in 1 hour. Zoo was nice and the kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt. We went on a Saturday morning and there was plenty of parking available. The park had a train ride, fishing pond, pedal boats, horseback riding and more!
A hidden gem near a small ponds with diverse wildlife. A serene retreat where birds fills the air. Great place to connect with nature. Ample seating areas to relax and enjoy nature's symphony or to hang out with family and freinds. Easy parking and convenient access.

PETERS CANYON REGIONAL PARK REVIEWS
Explore this 5.9 miles loop trail with 623 ft elevation gain near Villa Park. It's a moderate, challenging route with an average 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete. The trail is open year-round and dogs are welcome but must be on a leash.
Love this trail! Been coming here for over a year. The different levels of trails for different fitness groups is really cool. I wish the bathrooms were cleaner but you can't have it all. Either way we are sticking to this trail for a while!
Great trails to go with a friend for a work out or with the kids for a stroll. Some trails have incline some have shade and cute walkways over the little streams.

SANTIAGO OAKS REGIONAL PARK REVIEWS
What a nice little trail, nothing to hate. If you love nature, hiking and awesome looking scenery then this is for you. I think the highlight of the trip is the little swamp, so beautiful and unique. The swamps variety of color, lily pads and turtles make for a pleasant experience and totally worth the trip. If you're by the area or need a quick little hike, then stop and explore.
Love this park. There are many trails to choose from. It is February, so the wild poppies bloom like a painting in the mountain, work of art!
First time here and it was a great hike! There are easy to difficult trails depending on which ones u go to. I must say the public bathroom was very very clean- quite impressed! Will be back again ????
