Playgrounds and Parks
This park/playground has an amazing view of Laguna Beach! Love that it's mostly locals around and the playground was great for my kids (ranging in ages 8 down to 1!).
There were sports courts, open fields,bathrooms, and trails. I think my favorite t...
Alta Laguna Park
Great park! Two playground areas. One for “bigger” kids and one for “little” kids. There were two bucket swings and two regular swings. Next to a soccer field and some baseball fields. There were also many basketball courts. Lots of parking and very ...
Facilities • Chapparosa Park - City of Laguna Niguel
We have visited this park a couple of times because my boys love the pirate ship! Such a fun idea and it keeps their imaginations running wild.
There is a sand pit and swings as well as those spider climber things.
Definitely a great park/playgroun...
Clipper Cove Park
Absolutely love this park/playground/splashpad! This is right by the recreation facility with the YMCA so parking can get full but in the summer during the day it isn't too bad.
We love coming to the playground which has two sections, more of a big ...
Facilities • Crown Valley Park - City of Laguna Niguel
We love this playground and park and beach! A great place to take all the kids. Can get crowded and parking can be a nightmare but worth it!
Linda Lane Park - Parks & Ball Fields | City of San Clemente, CA
Has a fun playground with lots of slides. There is a swing set and lots of climbers. Great little park that is pretty quiet!
Bluebird Park | Visit Laguna Beach
This playground would be ideal for older kids. The “smaller” kids section is super small—the one redeeming quality for littles is the sand pit (which is also small, but at least it’s something!). The surrounding park is amazing… soccer fields, tennis...
Marina Hills Park
Love this little neighborhood park. It has sand and a climbing thing that leads to a big slide. It also has another little area with a double slide and other playground equipment. There are swings and picnic tables. My kids love the field next to the...
Westridge Park
Probably my favorite park to take my kids to in Aliso. This park has a little kid section and a big kid section. Lots of grass. Lots of sand. But the side hill offers so much imaginative play it’s amazing. It is next to an elementary school and there...
Acorn Park
We have been here a couple of times. My kids like feeding the ducks and playing on the playground. We need to go back with our ride on toys because there is so much space and I know they'd love to ride their bikes/scooters on the pathways!
Laguna Niguel Regional Park | OC Parks
Beaches
This is a beach that has a playground! Parking can get super busy and crowded so I suggest getting their early. You do have to pay for parking here.
This beach tends to draw a lot of tourists but my kids love the playground part so we visit often. I...
Aliso Beach
Hands down one of my favorite beaches in all of Laguna!
You do have to trek down, but it is so worth it. Gorgeous, has Rapunzel's tower...it is just a beautiful place. Love this gem.
Explore Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach, California
This is another great beach in Laguna. Tends to get pretty busy and lots of tourists in the summer, but still a beautiful spot!
Discover Treasure Island Beach in Laguna Beach, CA
I almost don't want to put this on here because it feels like such a hidden gem. This beach is never too crowded and is lovely. We come and enjoy the water, sand, and sea life. Normally locals are here and tbh I would love to keep it that way! A grea...
Woods Cove
I personally like Doheny beach. It can get crowded, but beaches do that sometimes! You do have to pay for parking as it is a State Park Beach. You can rent bikes or bring your own to ride along the paths. This beach is very rocky--so be aware of that...
Doheny State Beach - California State Parks
A fun place for a family night or date or just to play at. It is always fun for the kids to see the train going on by.
San Clemente Pier
I absolutely love this beach. Yes, tourists are always here. Yes, you have to pay for parking because it is a State Park Beach. But it is stunning. The water is gorgeous and the beach itself is clean and inviting. This was the beach I was at when I d...
Crystal Cove State Park
There is just something special about the beaches in San Clemente! Love them. This one can get crowded and busy.
T-Street Beach
I believe people can camp here so it does draw tourists. Great beach though and I love that there are lifeguards on duty!
San Clemente State Beach
I don’t want to put this on my list because it is such a gem and mostly visited by locals but it is one of my favorite beaches to go to. I find myself going here over closer beaches more often than not. Hard to find parking or if you do find parking ...
