Cabot Park in Laguna Hills is small, but good for younger kids. It’s near the Crown Valley Costco and a great little place for the kids to get out their wiggles.

-
Perfect for new walkers with lots of places to explore and steps to conquer

Moms can actually have a conversation while watching the kids

Lushly landscaped
Be Aware:
