About Irvine Regional Park

Irvine Regional Park is a large county park in Orange, California, set among mature oak and sycamore trees with foothills nearby. Santiago Creek runs through it, and a central pond with a waterfall and footbridge anchors the grounds. Visitors can use paved trails, playgrounds, ball fields, a lake with boat and bike rentals, a short train ride, and children's pony rides. The OC Zoo sits inside the park. Parking is charged per vehicle, and weekend closures to vehicle traffic can occur when the park reaches capacity.
