Best OC Birthday Park Ideas in South Orange County

Play Parks visitors often seek suggestions for the best OC parks for a birthday party. This is, by no means, a complete list. However, I combed through ALL the parks on this website to find those that fit my criteria. Make sure you visit the park before you send invitations to make sure it’s appropriate for your needs. I’d also suggest, calling the city for info on special permits or instructions. Please add your suggestions for SMALL parks and playgrounds, listed in no particular order.

Criteria (amenities required for birthday parties):

• restrooms
• covered picnic table area (with 2 – 4 picnic tables)
• dedicated parking lots
• FREE
