The Best Public Parks in Anaheim

Great park that has an amphitheatre and public pool area! Definitely check with them to see when they have free swimming sessions and when they have movie night screenings in the amphitheater, always a fun place to watch the Ducks go around in the ponds and plenty of places to go around afterwards. I've learned to swim during the summer when I was young and I really recommend to anyone trying to take their kids to a swimming place.

I love this park because it is a big park. It's a great place for walking. It has a level area on one side and hilly on the other. There is an area for children to play with benches for the parents. There is a covered area with picnic tables but they have other tables scattered around the park. There is a bridge that goes over a creek that adds to the ambiance of the whole park. There is a baseball diamond for softball and/or baseball. Then there is an area just off to the side of the baseball diamond that is good for group meetings. I think it has something for everybody.

This is my kids all time favorite park. Between the life size jet plane and the 3-story rocketship playscape, there couldn't be a better place to spark my sons' imaginations. They oscillate between fighting air battles to exploring the cosmos. It's over an hour drive from home but they still ask about going when they're in the mood for a trip to a park. Whenever we are in the OC, it's almost a guarantee we will make a detour to visit.
