South OC – Parks Index by City

 

South OC parks represent over half our blog posts. They’re featured heavily on this site, because we’re lucky to have so many recommendations. If you live in south Orange County, please recommend your favorite parks so we can build on your insider information! We’ve also provided links to city park pages at the bottom of the page.

I’ve marked the following Master List with notations for restrooms or portable toilets. I can’t necessarily speak for the parks we don’t have posted yet, so the info is only correct for the hyperlinked parks.

*=Restrooms
^=Portable Toilets
