Ralph B Clark Park - Buena Park, California

Zach Steadman

Great, clean and fun!

Parking is only $3 on the weekdays. They accept card. No re-entry, so you'll have to pay every time you leave and come back.

Playgrounds are fun for the kids, and they have a really cool prehistoric museum of everything not only found in Orange County but also in the park itself.

Volleyball and tennis courts are available. Also, baseball fields.

* At the time of this review, they are surveying to add pickleball courts*

5/5 hiking experience. free parking at the side of the park. love the uphill and the view on top is amazing! the trail goes around the park and ends on the other side, but it doesnt circle around, so you either walk through the park or sidewalk, or walk backwards from the trail. a lot of people walking with dogs or jogging.

I love the wildlife you can find at a park in the middle of city like Fullerton. It’s an excellent park to visit for all ages

Beautiful park!! Great place for a picnic. Decent amount of shade. You do need to pay for parking $5 but it's worth it! They have volleyball court, tennis courts, etc have multiple playgrounds for kids. It's pretty big big to have different activities like soccer or some other sports.

Beautiful green space respite despite the drought of 2024. Here’s one of the few local parks where visitors can step into nature, as if trail walking thru a forrest!
The horseshoe configured dirt trail surrounds this beautiful park which includes a small pond. There’s lot’s of shady spots for picnics, holistic exercise groups, meditation, lawn sports and volleyball in the sand!
There’s several ball fields for playing baseball and soccer, including to the north side across Rosecrans Ave., where parking is free, as is street parking where available.
At the main entrance to the park, users can have their vehicles close to chosen spots for their convenience with paid parking.
Restrooms are available all throughout the park and are usually well maintained.
There’s also an Interpretive Center, open on Tuesday and Saturday.

Nice park; deceivingly large. Lots of picnic tables which pretty much all being used. Many bodies of water with one or two oddly enough having people fishing. This was a very busy park but didn’t feel crowded. Trash cans everywhere help keep the area clean. Multiple water fountains along the walking path. Street parking available with lots of parking within the park. Saw pelicans, geese, ducks and squirrels. Lots of plants made for nice photos. Fair number of leashed dogs.

One of our favorite parks! It is $5 to park but you can get an Orange County park pass for a fee to get access to a lot of parks without having to pay for parking each time. Support our parks!!

The park is clean and not too crowded in the morning. Lots of geese / ducks minding their business and there’s a lake / pond to go fishing (catch & release). Keep in mind there is a lot of wild animal poop but not as bad as other parks in my opinion.

My family used to come to Ralph B. Clark to fish and have picnics when I was a kid. On a recent trip to visit our old stomping grounds, I was so happy to see the park and the lake still looking so beautiful after all these years. The $5 daily parking charge was reasonable for a southern California weekend, and it was a gorgeous sunny day to walk around the lake and spot fish, turtles, ducks, geese, and even a couple pelicans. A beginner fly fishing class was being held in one nook, while kids played in the play area and families enjoyed picnics along the water, like mine used to do. If I still lived in the area, I would also look into reserving the group picnic area for gatherings, because it accommodates such large groups and allows for the kiddos to run around without getting antsy. This visit brought back some happy memories, and I'm glad that others are able to continue enjoying this beautiful space.
