This park is located in the city of Buena Park, north of Anaheim. It is another large recreational area with lakes, streams, trees, hills, playgrounds, sports fields, bike trails and a very nice hiking trail.

The park lands range from large open grass areas, to gently rolling hills of native plants, to shear sandstone cliffs to the north.

For sports enthusiasts, the park offers sand volleyball courts, three softball fields and a baseball diamond and tennis courts.

The park also has an interactive center that allows the visitor to explore the prehistoric history of Orange County through displays, programs and guided tours.

You can start your hike from behind the tennis courts. Follow the dirt path between the trees all the way around the park. Towards the end, the hike climbs up sandstone hills with a breathtaking view of Orange County from the top. Along the way, watch out for squirrels and birds.
