Liberty Park: I Pledge Allegiance to Shade in Summer

Liberty Park Talega

Liberty Park is another park in the Talega development of San Clemente. It is across the street from the Welcome Center and a bit more centrally located than the Red Barn playground. My kids started playing Spiderman for all the climbing apparatus, including a free-standing spider web.

Location: Centrally located in Talega. Turn onto Avenida Talega from Avenida Vista Hermosa. Take a left on Calle Saluda and an immediate left into Liberty Park. Drive past the pool, tennis courts, and soccer fields until the road dead-ends into the playground and ball fields. Address: 390 Calle Saluda, San Clemente. (The unnamed street after you turn onto Calle Saluda is Liberty Park.) MAP to Liberty Park in Talega San Clemente

Highlights:

  • Shade covers are amazing for cover on the actual structure! The adults played more on the equipment because it was cooler
  • Pinnacle of parks for climbers – many spiderwebs, tunnels, pedestals, cubes, mountain peaks and climbing walls
  • Zip track was very smooth and a bit angled, so the rider glides down (instead of across) to drop platform
  • Fun little sand sink with drain and pipe where the sand shoots out
  • Lots of baby swings

Be Aware:

  • Very steep structures with drop offs – doesn’t leave much room for clumsy kids
  • Potentially busy when soccer games and baseball/softball in session

Checklist:

  • Dedicated parking lot
  • Very fine sand play surface, some recycled rubber areas
  • Bathrooms right next to the playground, identical to Red Barn Park
  • No trees near playground, but shade over picnic area and on the structures themselves
  • Benches right on sand area
  • Nice size picnic area and grills right next to toddler structure
  • More grills and picnic tables up the hill along soccer field
  • Bring sand toys

My daughter loves loves this park! Between the sand and walls to climb and more than enough slides, she didn’t know where to begin and where to end.
