Irvine Regional Park

Yesterday afternoon, my parents and I went to check out Irvine Regional Park, which is really close to our house. The park is fairly developed with a small lake, train ride, pony ride for kids, horse rentals, several large group areas, and lots and lots of picnic table/BBQs. The (very small) Orange County Zoo is also inside the park.


Small lake. There were people fishing but I didn't see anything swimming in the water...


... not counting people on paddle bikes.

Train ride. The ride looked really short but there was a line to ride it, even at $4/person.


Pony ride for kids ($4). Adults can also rent horses to ride around many trails inside the park for $40/hour.
