Spacious, well maintained with a large playground with play equipment for toddlers to older children. Love that they have inclusive swings and wheelchair friendly areas. My kids also enjoy the lake and squirrels, ducks, geese and other birds. They have shelters to use to throw parties and decent bathrooms but they are still park bathrooms.

Lots of shade, ample parking. Great spot to set up a picnic and enjoy the lakes and water features. Tons of Geese (and I mean *tons*), Ducks, Squirrels, and a few Turtles, so keep that in mind when you're choosing where to lay your picnic blanket. Lots of winding paths and bridges for lovely walks, rocks for climbing, large grassy areas, athletic fields, picnic areas, restrooms, and a playground.

It is a beautiful park, it has beautiful sighting, lakes, ponds, squirls, ducks, cute small bridges, hills and the playground is perfect for little kids. I have a 21 month old who is so energetic and daring. He isn't afraid of heights, and this playground was perfect for him. I didn't have to be all too cautious and worried. I was able to get on the playground with him. And so did many other parents. The only thing is the restrooms were very dirty and the diaper changer was broken.

Our favorite park in Costa Mesa! Lots of grass, tons of ducks and geese. Nice (huge) playground for the kiddos. Walking pathways that are fun to walk. Lots of trees for shade (great for pick nicks with the family)! One of the few places to see Mandarin Ducks!!

This park is definitely beast mode as far as parks go; skate park, rock climbing hill that's gotta be irresistible to bmxers, sprawling greens the fountain the duck part and the several sports venues stuffed in next to it... All patroned by the surrounding neighborhoods inhabitants giving the feel of a family community even down to the local confections vendor. The music, the laughter, the levity the happiness all add to create a feel that this gem of a park Will be appreciate it by all the generations to come aesthetically pleading to the eye and so much greenery that it seems to stay in a constant state of coolness. I've been to a lot of States, lot of cities and towns. Places seen a lot of parks, but the Tewinkle park should be used as a standard in family entertainment. Bring the ice chest, the football, the dog, and the BBQ slathered staples... Bring a blanket, lay in the cool, soft grass... And breathe in the this grassy knoll, and breathe out the bustle of Costa Mesa.
