★★★★★Featured review by Aime Nagel

This was a great little stop at the end of our walk through the Anaheim Coves. **NOTE FOR PARENTS: there is no restroom at this end of the Coves.** That issue aside, it is a really nice park with a variety of age appropriate play spots. Bring sand toys for digging for dinosaur fossils or let older kids climb on the rock formations, jungle gym, or rope course. Even the adults have something to do with the exercise equipment. Lovely park at the end of a lovely trail. 👍

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for active families with kids aged 4 and up who want adventure play beyond a standard playground. The zipline and dinosaur dig are the standout draws. Bring bikes to extend the visit along the riverbed trail. Use restrooms before arriving — there are none at the park.

“Very cool park, plenty to do for the kids. Water fountain for both people and pets. I recommend taking bikes so you could ride the river bed trail which leads is part of the park.”

“Hidden gem! My kids enjoyed the zip line part of the playground the most. Several local families there enjoying the day. Great place to bike ride or roller blade.”
