The Yorba Regional Park is 140 acres of grass, lakes, trees, and trails. There are 6 playgrounds, 4 little lakes to fish in, bike and paddleboat rentals, 200 bbq stands and 400 picnic tables. There are also places to play volleyball, soccer, baseball, and horseshoes. It seems a popular place for families to gather in the the summer! They have free parking in one lot which is an added bonus. It is on the western-most end and its called the Anaheim Play Fields entrance. There is a dirt lot and a paved lot here that you can park in without charge.
The park runs along part of the Santa Ana River. If you follow the Santa Ana River Trail it will take you all the way back to Huntington Beach! Its a great route for a bike ride.
Sim and I decided to take a walk through the park on one of those rare Friday mornings that I have off from work. Its a nice place for a pup to explore. The trails are short and flat and great for a jog or a really easy, casual walk. Like one after a delicious, gigantic breakfast.
Its a very pretty area, especially around the lakes and creeks. There are wooden bridges over the streams that connect the larger bodies of water and even lily pads floating in the still water. It would be a nice place to sit down with a coffee and a good book.
