Costa Mesa Parks - Fairview Park

Costa Mesa Parks - Fairview Park

 
Fairview Park is located on Placentia Avenue next to Estancia High School and is near the end of the Santa Ana River Trail. Fairview Park     Aside from being a great place to just bike, this park offers many incredible amenities. It has room up top for kids to run and fly kites, kick soccer balls, and generally have a great time. In the summer Fairview Park hosts Costa Mesa's Free Concerts.  In addition, there is an area to fly remote controlled airplanes.  There are also hills that frequently have children and adults alike enjoying mountain biking and jumping.  With 208 acres, there is lot of space in Fairview park for everything from walking your dog, to flying your RC plane, to riding model trains, to just getting out and expending some energy and enjoying a beautiful day.  In addition to the activities we enjoy today activites, the park was once home to The Indians of Lukup. Fairview Park has both an upper and lower mesa and can be used to access the Talbert Nature Preserve and the Santa Ana River Trail. Over the last couple of years, there have been improvements made to Fairview Park via Fairview Park Wetlands and Riparian Habitat Project.  These include the restoration of approximately 17 acres of riparian habitat. Once completed, the project will include new trails from which we can enjoy the natural habitats. What's your favorite thing about Fairview Park?  Please let me know in the comments below.

Lions Park Costa Mesa

Lions Park Costa Mesa

Lions Park is located at 570 E. 18th Street in Costa Mesa. It is home to the Lions Club Fish Fry each June and is also sometimes called the Airplane Park.

 

The term "Airplane Park" comes from the large concrete airplane that is a centerpiece of the playground. It has been there for decades. When I first played there, it was unpainted concrete. Today, it is painted blue. Regardless of the color, the kids love to jump in the cockpit and climb on the wings of the airplane.

Lions Park also features two playground areas. One for older children and one for younger children with slides and climbing areas appropriate for their ages. Lions Park is located adjacent to the Costa Mesa Aquatic Center and library.

 

All in all, there are a lot of great things for kids to enjoy here though parents will want to attend with their children as there are sometimes people loitering nearby. Lions Park
