Whenever my friends and I want a break from the beach crowds, Huntington Beach Central Park is our go-to. There's plenty of room to spread out with a picnic, walk the trails, or just sit under a tree and talk for hours. The park is clean, well maintained, and has lots of benches, restrooms, and easy parking, which makes spending an afternoon here effortless. We even grabbed coffee after an appointment at Farsio Dental Specialty Group and headed here to relax. Between the ducks, squirrels, wide-open green spaces, and peaceful atmosphere, it's one of those local places that never gets old.
MoreJust wanted a place to walk around after visiting a shop in Fountain Valley. Sunday afternoon, not crowded. There was Revolutionary War re-enactment going on somewhere in the park that afternnon so a bit of cannonfire noise. Nice walking path to a smallish lake with a restaurant overlooking. Large senior center on a hill overlooking the park was closed. Strolled around for about an hour, lots of families jut enjoying the park.
MoreCivil war reenactment over Labor Day weekend in Central Park is fantastic and brings history alive. Tents are clustered together or the rebels and the union soldiers and all of the different services they required. Women with huge hoop skirts seem to float over the ground, and all sort of soldiers and scouts wander around. There is a band that plays Dixie and other songs of the era. President Lincoln was there both days and gave his famous Gettysburg address as well as answering any questions the visitors had. Ulysses S grant also was in attendance. There were four battles with cannons and rifles and it was clear that war is hell. Around the periphery are vendors with clothing and trinkets of the 1860s and food. The event is free.
MoreIf you walk to the amphitheater area, you will be able to see the Monarch Butterflies winterizing in clusters in the trees. The butterflies migration begins in November and will last thru February. I was lucky to see about 200 Monarch butterflies in clusters in the trees, right above the walkway, they look like dry leaves!
MoreA nice park but not a great city park, surrounded by housing developments, feels like a neighborhood park, and no too large.
