Bonita Park in San Juan Capistrano is a small and dated neighborhood park. A mom friend who lives nearby recommended it for a quick play.
This park is tucked into a neighborhood near where Camino del Avion dead ends into Alipaz. It’s in the vicinity of Marco Forster Middle School and Del Obispo Elementary, The Ecology Center, and the soccer fields.
The San Juan Creek bike trail is also very close to this location.
Directions to Bonita Park in San Juan Capistrano: Turn from Camino Del Avion onto Via Del Amo. Follow it around until you see the park on your right. MAP to Bonita Park in San Juan Capistrano
