    A nice park with walking trail and kids play area. You get to see lot of lemon trees on way to the view point. From The view point , you get a good view of Mt. Baldy and the golf course. Family friendly place with restrooms.

    Hi I'm 9 years old and this park is pretty cool👍😎 in my opinion, I think this park for kids like my age would like to play here. If you ever stop by this park with your kids let them play for a while and they will like it a lot.

    Love visiting the citrus garden, great place for a nice walk. Nice thing to do with the family. Small shaded area to sit or do a picnic. Lots of lemons!

    Quiet, secluded and welcoming of a park! We were here for a kids birthday party. Everything from the shaded cabana to the kids playgrounds was great! The hiking trail is small but decent to walk, jog or just observe nature aka: limon tree's. Perfect for pets alike! Only complaint is restrooms "men's" was filthy and no soap!? The overall experience surpass that disappointment!!

    Really hidden treasure, easy trail to the hilltop view, so amazing, felt like 360 view of California with Great Park’s orange balloon up in the air, golf course, mountains and ocean view (Catalina Island on a clear day). Kids playgrounds, free parking, surrounded by so many other nice trails!!

    Awesome land on the northeast side of Tustin just about where the suburban city meets the rural, open space! Here the Peters Canyon Hiking & Riding Trail passes thru along Portola Parkway. It’s also a great place to take the kids, family, friends or the dog and go for a walk! There’s random picnic tables throughout the park, with some under gazebo’s for covered protection. A playground contains slides, swings, a rock wall and a bridge. Colorful citrus art tiles adorn that side of the deck, where there’s more gazebo space and a public restroom building. I like the walk up the hill along the bordered dirt trails, passing up thru the lemon grove, up to the gazebo and back down around to the north side of the park. The meandering may seem roundabout, especially if inadvertently going thru the maintenance trails between the lemon trees! Better to stay on the designated paths and avoid the working grove trails, cross-laden with irrigation, equipment and fallen lemons. The north side of the park has been left as an open field. It wasn’t as manicured as the south end. This end seems to be popular for field sports as is, or for taking the dogs to play. There’s perhaps more dog clean stations and trash cans than any other park I’ve seen, so user’s can pick up and help to keep the park looking nice!

    Highly recommend park , it goes on top of a hill . Nice view of irvine from top. Place is full of citrus as the name suggests , and you can smell the aroma light citrus 🍊 smell. This place use to be a private property like 20 years ago and has been developed gradually over last two decade and only few locals seems to be aware of the changes . It overlooks the golf course where Tiger woods stated his golf career. 🤫.

    Great place to walk around. There is a kids playground area and walking trail for adults and teens. The trail loops around the center of the hill and there is a small roofing area at the very top. Seating avaliable for hangouts and parties. Beautiful area that is usually not crowded.

    I was there in a rainy day. It's a beautiful citrus garden but not that much big. You can walk around in 10 minutes.

    This was a small park that we decided to visit. There were a decent amount of parking spaces, several long and winding sidewalks for walking and scooters, a playground area, and a small (apx 1/4 mile) trail that spirals through a pleasant lemon tree grove, leading up to a small pavilion. Public bathrooms are available and a small picnic area that is nice for hosting an afternoon gathering / small birthday party. Unfortunately, visitors often like to pick lemons and discard them throughout the park grounds. We came in springtime and there was a noticeable presence of flying insects that influenced our decision to depart a little bit earlier than we had anticipated. All in all, a nice peaceful park that was an enjoyable first visit for us.

    I love this park so much! It is beautiful. go up the trail, you will see an array of beautiful trees and so much nature. They have a lot of lemon trees that are so beautiful on their own. This would be a great place to take wedding photos, or have a birthday party! Also another really cool thing about this place is that everyone here has large dogs and they walk their dogs on this trail. I have large dogs it is hard for me to find somewhere to walk my dogs, so if you are the same than this is definitely some or you should bring your dogs!

    A beautiful old orchard of about 900 lemon trees, quiet nooks and crannies between fruit trees, few people, the rustling of leaves and a wonderful citrus scent in bloom. Although a number of trees are slowly losing the battle with the advancing invasive pampas grass, this battle nevertheless creates breathtaking scenery. If you like citrus trees, this is the place for you.

    A beautiful park with hundreds of lemon laden trees and aromatic air that rejuvenates the morning walkers. An easy climbing path with lemons on both sides, takes you to the top from where very nice view of hills around.There is lots of parking area and also children’s play zone, benches to relax and picnic area too.

    Great park. Clean, public restroom, shady benches, drinking fountains, and tables. This park is divided into 2 parts. A little kid side for 1-4 years old and a larger size for 6-12 years old. The larger side has many far fall opportunities which is fun for the bigs but terrifying for the littles. I have a brave 2 year old a careful 4 year old. We were too big for the little side and too little for the big side.

    Absolutely wonderful walk through a working lemon grove. Vista points include Mt. Baldy, Catalina Island, and the Great Balloon in Irvine. Nice playground equipement for the younger ones, too.

    My daughters love this park. Has a small hill where people like to go for a walk and has very beautiful views. I love the trail myself. Great for pictures. Typically after the walk me and my daughters go down to the playground.

    Citrus Ranch Park has so many lemon trees, it's amazing. There are nice paths to walk through the whole hill with great smell.

    Great little park, not too crowded on the weekdays. Park is kept clean and it was reasonably a pleasant experience. I'm not from Orange County, I'm coming from Riverside and I'm amazed by how they've kept up here too. Far different than LA parks lol

    A small park, good for a very short morning stroll. One side is a large flat grassy area and on the other is a hill covered with citrus trees with a wide sandy walkway cutting back and forth through the trees, up the hill. At the top is a small covered area with a shallow view. Great for a short stop with young kids who like nature.

👍👍 Probably my favorite trail in Irvine! Its so beautiful here and peaceful. Although, there are always people here and can sometimes be a little busy for a hike.. other than that, there are lots of mountains with good incline. You can really work up a sweat. The scenery is very pretty, and the size of...

👍👍 Fun little park with a lot of different things to climb on and one of the tallest (and safe) slides in Orange County. Parking sucks when it is busy, but definitely worth it if you are within 3 miles.
