IRVINE REGIONAL PARK REVIEWS
This was mine and my kids first time coming to this park. We loved everything about it and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest! The zoo, the trails , just everything! We will definitely be coming back! If you want something fun for you and your family this is the place.
Loved the horseshoe loop trail. Quiet and peaceful except sometimes there are many mountain bikers. Amazing place for birdwatching and to bring kids.
We love this park! We enjoy the trails and grass area to walk our dog. It's clean and doesn't feel crowded like some parks in the area.

PETERS CANYON REGIONAL PARK REVIEWS
$3.00 parking fee sold by machine per car. Trails combined easy, moderate, and difficult levels. You can choose the trail based on your own physical strength. Not very shady so it can be very hot for both humans and pets. Make sure to bring enough water with you. Views along the trails are generally nice.
Excellent place for a hike, run or walk. You're definitely able to choose your level of difficulty. I highly recommend you get here at 7am to avoid the crowds as it does get pretty full on weekends. Big dogs will do great but smaller dogs will struggle on the way up and down.
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.

SANTIAGO OAKS REGIONAL PARK REVIEWS
Beautiful, well maintained trail system that goes from mild to intermediate in difficulty for cycling. (Note that I've been riding for 30 years, youay have a different opinion. There is a small fee if you enter from the side of the park for the 55, free from Irvine regional if I remember correctly. Well kept bathrooms and water available at the trailhead. Have fun, be safe and enjoy this wonderful outdoor space.
Nice hike, but I've been on the better ones. I like the views from the top of the canyons, sometimes water from dam is being released so most of the trails are closed. Parking is $3 on weekdays and $5 on the weekends.
Nice little hidden canyon in Orange. It's got beautiful and well maintained trails, group areas, a riverbed, a nature center, and its connected to many other nature areas in the region! Dog friendly. Leave no trace!
