Castle Park in Irvine is # 2 on the list of the 10 best playgrounds in OC. Very cute park!
Plenty of parking, clean restroom, and lots of different play equipment for all ages. The main feature is a large “castle” – thus the name Castle Park – which is a fun structure for running and climbing.
Surrounding the castle, there are two sand levels for castle making of their own, that is the sand type! It is a large playground, and a good mix of that squishy ground cover, along with sand. I happen to prefer the squishy ground cover (does anyone know what that is called??) Especially in flip flop weather.
Some of the equipment was covered, which I really like in the summer, and there were plenty of trees surrounding the area to pull out your picnic blanket and have a snack. Definitely worth checking out. Your own little knights and fair princesses will have great creative play opportunities at this park!
This is a great park to keep all ages happy – my 3 year old and 6 year old both love it!
