Lions Park

This park is legit!! Definitely stop by. Clean bathrooms (especially if you use the ones inside the library — yes, there’s a library 😄). There’s a kids’ area inside, and honestly as an adult, it’s clutch when it gets too hot outside because you have a nice indoor space to cool off. Outside, there are cool zip-line style swings, play areas for both younger and older kids, and plenty of shaded spots. Major bonus points for no woodchips — huge win. The library also has fun music exploration activities, which was a pleasant surprise. Plus, there are easy food options nearby, so you don’t have to overthink meals. Parking was easy for me, though I can see it getting tricky during busier times. And to top it off, there’s a nice boba spot close by, which always seals the deal 🧋 Great family-friendly park with thoughtful details — we’ll definitely be back.

It's a really fun playground for kids of all ages. It has a big slide, seasaw, obstacle course, and zip line. If you have little toddlers, make sure to keep an eye on them all the time so they don't run into the zip line path. It can be unsafe for the little kiddos. There was plenty of parking and it wasn't crowded when we visited. Definitely recommend this playground.

One of my favorite Costa Mesa parks. There’s lot for kids to do and pleasant to take a lunch and have the kids run around. I love the musical instruments and swings. The kids (sometimes teens) line up to use the zip line swings on the play structure so make sure your kids don’t crash into the zip liners. Kids can also enjoy climbing up and crossing the big bridge. We love to end the park day in the library. Lots of books and cute little reading nooks for the kiddos to enjoy a book.

This is an excellent park. My kids were really playful during more than two hours. They really enjoyed the sliding swing. Also, there is a huge plane where kids can pretend they are flying. There is a double swing that is very safe, cause kids can be seated comfy. I give it a 8 out of 10.

A uniquely themed park around airplanes with clear sightlines to SNA take offs out towards the ocean. Bouncy rubber covers most of the park with a small sand pit area. 3 restrooms - used one that was less than ideal for family or changing a baby diaper and couldn't see any hand wash sinks. Not very shaded either save for one covered seating area on the far side. The main attractions are the swinging zip line and full scale jet to climb around. The zip line is a lot of fun, but requires adult help to get back up to the top and careful supervision to avoid collisions along the path. There is a marked area on the ground but no physical barrier so it was a bit nerve wracking having younger unaware kids wandering through the area. Overall a decent park worth visiting once.
