David Sills Lower Peter Canyon Park

This is a pretty park, and it’s great for the kids. There’s a picnic area and a playground for families and their kids. I come here mostly for the tennis courts, so my review will be based on that.
I only give these courts 4 stars because they face East/​West and at Dusk towards sundown the glare from the sun is pretty brutal when you’re trying to play tennis. The courts are nice and well spaced out. I believe there are 8 courts and they’re open to the public, just so long as there isn’t a class or league. The leagues/​classes always get priority on the courts.
This park is adjacent to Beckman highschool. I like to run on their track, it’s brand new and also open to the public. In comparison to other parks in Irvine, this one is pretty small and intimate, but I don’t really have any complaints other than the fact that the sun burns through my sunglasses in the evening. Haha.
They have a bathroom, it’s usually pretty clean, but most bathrooms in Irvine parks are kept up pretty well. The picnic area is small, but covered, there’s a small playground area for the kids, and plenty of tennis courts for all the tennis obsessed like me!
Check it out!

Beautiful spot that is right off of the freeway! Really loved the small playgrounds for small children and one for older children. The bathroom was okay, nothing exciting to say but it wasnt totally gross either. Just down the street on the opposite side of the freeway is a Starbucks, plus a nice selection of places to eat. We used this park to meet up and while it is small (when soccer season is in), it was beautiful.

Unused to bring my son to this park often and he loved it.
I like the fact that they have a bigger and smaller park for older and younger kids.
It’s also never too crowded so that’s a plus!
The park is attached to the schools soccer field, baseball court and tennis courts. When the soccer field was empty, my son loved running freely in the large grassy area. We also watched the softball games together sometimes.
They have a nice size private parking lot.

We love this local park on culver/​Bryan because it has two playgrounds (one for bigger kids and another for younger kids) separated by a small plot of grass. The playgrounds have lots of slides and ways to climb, providing lots of entertainment for my little ones. Plenty of picnic benches too!

This is a great intimate park that has something for everyone. There are ample fixtures for children to crawl and run around, as well as a large softball field and tennis courts for the older ones. Yet, the best part of this park is that it has clean bathrooms and plenty of parking spaces. Yes!
It’s a winner in my book and did I mention that it’s free and open to everyone (unlike some of Irvine’s other gated community parks), hooray!

This park has everything that you’re looking for in a park. Good parking. Softball field. Small playground for children. Soccer field. Tennis courts. You’ll find it great for you and your family or friends.

This park is pretty rocken. Its great for the munchkins, the sporty folks, or those that just want to picnic and chill. However it is a typical Irvine park I think.
They have a huge cluster of tennis courts here. These are lit up like Christmas trees so you can smack that lil neon yellow ball back and forth with a partner till you are bored off your azzz. Or you can view it as trying to get your buddy to lay out to get that ball only for you to drive it the opposite way as hard and fast as you can! Hey, I thought it would be a friendly game, but is that ever really the situation? Is it volley day or kill the homey day hmmmmmmmmmm…
They have a couple of softball diamonds errrr baseball diamonds… wait is there really a difference? Bleh, they are the same in the end I think. So yay… go get your _​_​_​_​ball on. Just don’t forget your bat glove and a ball or you have to go home since you cant play =P
Pro Tip: This park has easy access as its next to the freeway. Literally a city block (granted Irvine doesn’t know what a city block really is) off the freeway on Culver.
They also have a jungle gym playground thingie here that I think every kid will see and exclaim in sheer excitement at all the ways that they can run and fall and try and get injured without doing so, we hope… its got that rubber matting and high railings so that the kids cant just eject over the top easily… but lots of monkey bars, slides, climbing accoutrements, etc Definitely a kids paradise. I like that they have a park benches for the parents to sit and watch their kids exhaust themselves. Honestly this works better to knock kids out than anything since… dang I am drawing a blank here… just run your kids to weariness, it works wonders and is always awesome!
Overall this park is rocken. I don’t know why its lower peters canyon park since its nowhere near upper peters canyon park let alone the streets are way off as well. *shrugs* Its plasticland what do you expect?

Came here for the Irvine Premier youth soccer tournament in August 2013. The soccer field is extremely well maintained — properly watered, mowed, and level. Such a pleasure after playing on so many sub standard fields all over Southern California.

Great park. It is very huge with tons of swing and slides.
My daughter loves to visit here occasionally.
It’s a great place to meet her other friends.
The park is well maintained and clean.

i play softball here on Tuesday nights once in a while depending on the season. The fields are nice and parking is ok.

Clean. Spacious. Not too crowded. MANY tennis courts. God, I miss Irvine.

This is another example of the city of Irvine’s efficient planning.
This is a perfect spot for games of all kind, or just a nice BBQ or picnic in the park.
Easily accessible by bike (why drive to the park??), we like to relax here.
