Ralph B Clark Park

Beautiful park!! Great place for a picnic. Decent amount of shade. You do need to pay for parking $5 but it's worth it! They have volleyball court, tennis courts, etc have multiple playgrounds for kids. It's pretty big big to have different activities like soccer or some other sports.

Trails are awesome.. free street parking is first come first serve..

Fishing is tough... but present..

Lovely park to go on a walk or just enjoy the simple peace hanging out, it’s relatively big, have a small pond, dog friendly, suggest parking outside if you don’t want to pay for parking inside

My family used to come to Ralph B. Clark to fish and have picnics when I was a kid. On a recent trip to visit our old stomping grounds, I was so happy to see the park and the lake still looking so beautiful after all these years. The $5 daily parking charge was reasonable for a southern California weekend, and it was a gorgeous sunny day to walk around the lake and spot fish, turtles, ducks, geese, and even a couple pelicans. A beginner fly fishing class was being held in one nook, while kids played in the play area and families enjoyed picnics along the water, like mine used to do. If I still lived in the area, I would also look into reserving the group picnic area for gatherings, because it accommodates such large groups and allows for the kiddos to run around without getting antsy. This visit brought back some happy memories, and I'm glad that others are able to continue enjoying this beautiful space.

Nice park; deceivingly large. Lots of picnic tables which pretty much all being used. Many bodies of water with one or two oddly enough having people fishing. This was a very busy park but didn’t feel crowded. Trash cans everywhere help keep the area clean. Multiple water fountains along the walking path. Street parking available with lots of parking within the park. Saw pelicans, geese, ducks and squirrels. Lots of plants made for nice photos. Fair number of leashed dogs.

This well-maintained park is one of the many Orange County Regional Parks. You can get annual passes to support the maintenance or per entry tickets, $3 during weekdays and $5 on the weekends. There is a Little Free Library at the vehicle entrance. When you turn left, there is a small parking lot right after a baseball diamond. Lots of school and organization practicing sports-- running, baseball, softball, and even senior exercising groups.

You can stroll along the central ponds (with many bench seatings right by the water), a bigger looping sidewalks (mostly runners, joggers, dog-walkers, and group walkers), or take a hike along the park perimeter.

There are many wild lives, such as the mallard ducks and Canadian geese. I saw many adult geese honking at passersby to stay away from their juveniles. There are small fishes in the pond. Even though there were signs that stated no fishing, I saw someone trying to fish still.

There is also a Interpretive Center for you and your love ones to discover local natural and cultural history. At the day and time I went, it was closed. You can read the other local guide's reviews for their perspectives on this Interpretive Center or go check it out for yourself!

There are several playgrounds, two volleyball courts, pavilions (needs reservation), picnic tables, and restrooms. Playgrounds have raked sands, many swings and slides, and clean seatings nearby. The restrooms are clean and well-stocked with toilet paper.

All in all, I'd visit this park again. Highly recommended to go early in the mornings. You can find parking along the side of Rosecrans. Enjoy!

Great park for exercise... ball park for baseball.. trails for walking and running.. stairs for exercise... clean and friendly. Lovely place to enjoy a family day out.

If you are by the tennis courts, you'll see an entrance for a running path on the other side of the street. It's part of the park, but a trail that travels into the hilltop. Enjoyable hike with great views.

Here's the thing, the place is beautiful. A ton of space. Fishing, hiking, playgrounds.. a ton of area to spread out. That said, the baseball fields are poorly maintained. Weeds growing out of the dirt. Uneven dirt. Our team almost chose to practice on the grass because the field seemed dangerous. Not quite a 5 star experience, but very close.

This park is amazing! It is so beautiful and well maintained. I was so impressed. They have water features, playgrounds, bathrooms, pavilions, and more. It's $3 to enter, and it's well worth it.

Lovely place for camping or bbq with family. Parking is $5.00 per day. No in and out. Parking option has $80 per month. There are lots of site for meeting. Great place for weekdays and weekends. No overnight allowed but its enough to enjoy the nature and refreshing at the park.

Weekend routine includes taking the dog out to this park for a good mile walk. Great, well maintained park in the area that includes a mostly shaded easy hiking trail, walking paths, huge grassy fields, playgrounds, tennis courts, a fishing pond, picnic areas, and parking spots. Pay to park or reserve a picnic area for groups (all goes to help upkeep this beautiful park). There is also street parking which is free.

Large park for hiking, exercising, walking and hanging out. There's a moderate amount of people at any given time of the day and parking is easiest on the side of the road next to the park. There's also a duck pond, baseball fields, restrooms, a gymnasium, and more.

Good park it’s good to take a walk Do a few laps if not mistaken 1 lap is about 1.4 miles very nice walk to clear your mind the times I have been here is not crowded there’s not many people I definitely enjoy walking this park

Entertainment: There are Baseball fields, play grounds and tennis courts.

Museum: there a cool little museum that focuses on natural history from the local area.

One of my favorite places to come for a quick loop. The wild flowers look amazing after rain. My boys love the playgrounds.

really a very nice lake and love the park too. best of all in the winter months California Department of Fish and Wildlife stock rainbow trout iand in the summer months its channel and blue catfish and let's not forget about them largemouth bass they are roaming around in that lake. I've seen at least two that were pushing10 lbs. My best friend and neighbors son got 4-5lb largemouth on a Savage Gear top water spider lure.
