Oak Park is a nice spot off Wood Canyon in Aliso Viejo. We visited around 4pm and the shade was heavenly. It’s also near Soka University. I’ll definitely be coming back to this spot for family picnics and more play.
Location: Aliso Viejo is a bit of a “Bermuda Triangle” to those who aren’t used to driving it. I took Pacific Park (a main road running through AV) to Wood Canyon (another main road) and turned on Oakgrove. If you are coming from Interstate 5, take the Oso exit and follow it until it turns into Pacific Park and crosses Aliso Viejo Parkway. Turn left on Wood Canyon and take an immediate left on Oakgrove. You’ll drive down a hill and around a curve. The park will be on your right and you’ll park just past it. But there are so many other ways to get there – so look at my MAP TO OAK PARK IN ALISO VIEJO

Highlights:
- Kids of all ages played together on our visit
- Little kid and big kid areas separated by swing set in the middle
- A highlight for my kids was the zip track and fun slides
- Easy for parents to supervise
- Good variety of slides and monkey bars
- Bring sand toys for some play in the shade
- Lawn area is beyond the playground so the kids can do their running around away from the street
- Small landscaped hills (grass and trees) provide a natural barrier to the road
- 2 baby swings, 2 bench swings
Be Aware:
- NO real restrooms; only portable toilet near basketball court
- Street parking – not right in front of park
