Heritage Park in Irvine comes highly recommended by a Fun Orange County Parks visitor because of its beautiful lake, community center, Fine Arts Center and Irvine Heritage Library. It’s a great place for strolls and picnics. The playground is getting a huge makeover and I need to check if it’s complete and get some photos. One of the main draws before they fenced it off was the unique water tower slide.
Location: From Interstate 5, take the Jeffrey Road off-ramp and turn towards the west. Turn right on Walnut and turn right into Heritage Park Circle near the library. Drive to the back of the lot for the playground and lake. MAP to Heritage Park in Irvine
Highlights:
- Big lake with ducks
- Fine Arts Center, Irvine Heritage Library, Community Center all in the same area
- Stay tuned and we’ll post the park after its improvements are complete
Be Aware:

- The rest of playground is fenced off for construction
Checklist:
