Mile Square Regional Park

Mile square park is like my backyard. I’ve grown up here; I’ve always remember when I was younger, my uncle would take me here just to go biking. And sometimes, we would sit by the lake and try to catch fish with a cup. I’ve attended church event gatherings, vietnam reunions, and vietnamese tet festival. I’ve done so many things at this park including playing on the playground, renting and riding bikes, playing football, volleyball, and running the whole mile square. The thing I like the most about this park though is that they have public basketball courts for u to play at. I love basketball so you know this is where I chill at most. The only thing i would criticze about this park are the restrooms and water fountains; they are a little bit dirty at times. Other than that, I would recommend going here, u could throw birthday parties and maybe have a nice picnic date.

I wish I could rate this place NO stars. Poor animals live in GROSS environments, I will never spend another dime here. The lions water looked like it had been there for months. Other animals had no water at all, we are in Arizona people it’s FREAKING HOT!

Great baseball fields here. Just come early if you are here for a tournament as parking is limited

Really nice playground for young kids. Right in the middle of Fountain Valley
The Fountain is awesome!!! 3 Par Golf Course. Golf Driving Range. Fishing. Basketball, Tennis Courts, Soccer Field, and Water Slide at the beach. Great family-​fun Park.

I love this park! It’s good for the entire family.
The only negative thing I have to say is the city needs to clean up the bird poop around walkway of the pond. It’s REALLY bad. You can’t walk on it or see the cement because of all the bird poop; but other than that, this park is great.
Baseball fields, basketball courts, soccer fields, archery, & a four mile track… It is a beautiful versatile park. I come here once or two per week for some exercise.
There is also a lot of good food places around here. Grab some food to go & head over to the park for a peaceful picnic.

mile square park is perfect for just about everything. You can throw parties. you can feed the ducks with your kids, if you have any. You can go for a mile run. You can do short runs in the park that stop you to bust some exercises at certain stops. There is a trail that is a mini hike. They have basketball courts, soccer courts, baseball, handball courts and archery. There is a playground. A mini island to enjoy the view. Overall it is a great local park. Sometimes there is carshows !!

This is a great local park, it’s 1 mile on each side of the square. Golf course, archery, on-​site lake, picnic tables, and more! Haven’t been here in over 10 years, but used to go often when I was younger! :) It’s crowded in the summer.

As a runner and avid outdoors lover I was a fan of this place. I originally came here with my dog to run the full four miles around the park but was disappointed to see that the outer «miles» of the park were adjacent to busy streets. The real beauty of the park is in the smaller trails and sidewalks that curve around the center of the park. Tons of people with dogs were walking and it wasn’t even that nice of a day out. There are a few ponds and seating areas and even workout stations for pull-​ups, crunches, lunges, etc. Definitely coming back here for a nice walk with the pup!

I have lived on two different sides of Miles Square Park these past 5 years. The Warner/​Euclid side and now the Brookhurst side. If you do street parking, you will not need to pay any parking fees. The cons about the street parking is that you have to watch out if you are in the right lane of any of the street because people can suddenly come out in their cars or they will stop abruptly when they see a spot open and it causes traffic at times. See some accidents due to this sometimes…
Let’s move on to some other stuff about the park!
Some pros are that are lots of activities and sports to do such as walking/​jogging/​running, pets, bball, golf, pedal boats, tennis, bird watching, several playgrounds for kids. My favorite playground is by the basketball courts towards the back with the rubber ground. It can get crowded sometimes with lots of kids, so it’s best to go during weekdays or early. A friendly note to parents… please watch your kids especially if they are under the age of 5! My 2 year old son got bullied earlier today by some 4 year old boy and his parent (s) were no where around! Our son was at the slides first and already sitting down when this boy told him to move and pushed my son out of the way and told him «THIS IS MY SLIDE SO GO AWAY, DON’T TOUCH ME» WTF? Excuse me but I was so in shocked, I was about to say something when my husband stepped in and calmly told the boy and his sister to play nice and take turns. Some kids really need to get taught some manners because this kid acted like a total spoiled brat and like he was so privileged. Ugh…
Other neat stuff you can do is you can always have parties here for free. Just make sure to clean up because it’s not cool to make a mess and leave. Don’t be a jerk. Also don’t go running at night time, it is dark and it is not safe as I’m sure lot of the locals know about the tragic incident that happened years ago… I really feel like they should have more lights around the park.
Overall besides the cons, this park is a good park and I think it can even be better if some of the things are improved upon.

Great spacious park with fantastic views! I go running here with my pup when I have time and he and I both love it!

It’s a great place to go for a walk/​jog/​run whether it be alone, with friends or with your canine friend. On the outer skirts of the park, the walks are great, but if you try to go near the ponds or the kids play ground, watch where you’re going! Poop galore! Which you can’t blame the park… there are hundreds of birds coming in and out.
There’s a place you can rent paddle boats, bikes, multiple seating bikes, etc. (towards the corner of Edinger and Euclid)
I believe there are three ponds (between Euclid and Edinger and Euclid and Warner) at mile square park and two golf courses one on Edinger, the other on Warner,
Once you start your four miles, you pretty much have to finish it, unless you can find hidden paths (;

Mile Square Park is an Awesome park!
I go running here every other day. I force myself to start on one side and circle around the entire park which makes it 4 miles. It gets me about 50 to 60 minutes to complete the task and although it is tiresome, you feel accomplished afterwards! You can spot squirrels very often or everywhere especially early in the morning. By afternoon, the squirrels are all gone. I know this because I used to walk my dog there whenever he behaved well so that I would reward my puppy in seeing squirrels.
The park is filled with open grass fields to play football, they also have volleyball and soccer fields so you can have fun doing sports with your friends and family. They also have playground for kids from here and there including sections for picnic tables. It really is a place for all ages since the park has free outdoor exercising machines throughout the park, which the elders take advantage of using.
My dad loves to use the golf field here. He used to go every other Sunday to hit some balls.
Overall it is a family-​friendly park.

This is my favorite park in the OC. You can spend your whole day here and absolutely enjoy it with the family. There are numerous things that you can do here, as others have mentioned. It’s also an ideal park to hold one’s birthday party. Lots of room to move around without feeling overcrowded.

extremely large park, name says it all. There’s indeed lots to do here. We came here for the Asian festival they were having. Parking is tricky on the street, if your great at parallel parking, it’s a walk in the park.
Lots to do for sure, including going to their decently sized golf course.

Mile Square Park is one of the jewels of Orange County. You can do so many different things depending on your interests from golfing, softball, or basketball. There is a lake, tennis courts, and plenty of play areas for kids as well.
If you park on the Brookhurst st. side of the park, you avoid having to pay fees for the regional park, although it is a walk to get over to that part of the park. If you like to golf, check out their twilight specials, they are some of the best in Orange County. When parking, avoid the Warner st. side, you don’t want an errant golf ball to land on your vehicle.
I like to bring my kids here for the play areas – other parents are very friendly, and the playground has a rubberized mat under it for any slips or falls.

What more can you ask for? Green landscapes, paddle boat rentals, tennis courts, basketball courts, archery targets, plush and green grass w/​a running/​walking trail along the outskirt. There’s a pond w/​ducks, a playground for the little ones and so closeby to coffee shops and grocery stores. Mile Square Park is perfectly nestled in Fountain Valley and offers something for everyone.
Parties and events can be held here, or you can just find a spot by the pond and zen out. :) Free tai chi classes are held here as well.

Mile Square is the perfect place for the whole family to enjoy. Whether it’s biking, barbequing, or befriending the ducks with bread crumbs, this park really is the ideal location to catch some rays and chill out on the green lawn.
Additionally, there’s a YMCA on one edge of the park and a private golf club on the other side. I’ve seen many parks, but this one is definitely a crown jewel in Orange County.

I love Mile Square Park! I Have been going to this park for almost every morning over the past 8 years since my Retirement!
It is a beautiful great Oasis for jogging or just taken a leisurely walk, enjoying nature or watching the many different kind of birds and ducks and even seeing coyotes close up once in a while!
My favorite part of the park is called «Nature Habitat» with many cacti and various desert plants!
it is actually a park within the park and is fenced in and padlocked on weekends!
On weekends this park can get very busy with all sorts of junior baseball teams, soccer teams, archery contests, family outings or even the special Olympics!
The park is very well maintained and kept very clean!
I enjoy Photography and this wonderful park has also provided me with many great photo opportunities of landscapes, trees, flowers, birds and nature in general!
I would like to share my images with my Unilocal friends and will be posting them now and then.

Great place for almost all needs.
Place includes:
–Golf
–Kid play areas
–Running
–Basketball
–Special Function Areas
–Bike Rentals
–Boat Rentals
And a lot more.
Place is always kept clean and feels safe to be at.

I am in love with this park! This review is long overdue. If I lived in Orange County, I would frequent this park as much as possible with my man and my dog. My boyfriend and I decided to take an afternoon stroll here on Christmas Day just for kicks and it was absolutely lovely. Mile Square Regional Park looks like something straight out of a movie. It’s that picturesque. From the looks of it, you can do just about anything here — basketball, fishing, soccer, barbequing, biking, paddle boating, and even archery. I would love to spend the entire day in this park, and that says a lot because I’m not the most outdoorsy person in the world.
— I’m not sure if we were just lucky, but street parking was relatively plentiful and easy to find along the park’s vicinity.
