La Mirada Regional Park

Great place for going for a walk, bbq and disc golf

Favorite park ever! So much to do! And if you need outdoor basketball just go across the street to the high school!

This is one of the closest parks to us. We are either here or at Vista Del Valle Park in La Habra just to keep Ian engaged and not get bored of the park.
Pros:
We have been here for many summer weekend events, July 4^th fireworks, Easter egg hunt events etc. The City of La Mirada does a phenomenal job organizing all these events (+2)
Ample parking (+1)
The park has a very wide variety of things to offer to everyone. 2 different play areas for toddlers, and young kids. Tennis courts, BBQ areas, Fishing, baseball playground, some weird racquet/​hand ball courts, and a Frisbee golf path all through the park. I had never heard about Frisbee golf until watching people play that here. (+1)
Cons:
Our only observation is how the toddlers play area has a slope that directly slants into the lake. We have seen many kids wander off and accelerate quickly down the slope. Yes, parents keep an eye on kids, but if there was a barrier here, it would be very safe (–1)

Great place for the 3^rd of July, wonderful food and fireworks! The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that they never have enough bathrooms and the porta pottys always end up full and over flowing with no where else to go.
Great disc golf course and duck pond. Lots of benches and a couple of play ground areas

La Mirada Regional Park is my favorite place to take my dog for a walk. It’s quite large and offers a lake, tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, and handball courts. There are also ducks and geese all over the place (please don’t feed them) and fishing available at the lake. Great location to host kids’ birthday parties and have get together with friends. It is also conveniently located next to the Splash! water park, library and community center.

This park is the best!
As a college student across the street, it is the cheapest, nicest, and most convenient way to get off campus.
It is always very clean and the grass is nice to lay a blanket down in.
My only warning is that if you try to feed the ducks they will get very aggressive! My boyfriend and I brought some bread to feed them and they were not hesitant to walk right up and take it straight out of our hands! This park also has a frisbee golf course that is nice to do if you ever just need to get outside and have fun!
Highly recommend picnics, cloud watching, long walks, frisbee golf, and a quiet outdoor study get away!

Best place for frisbee golf, exercise, softball practicing and playing, tennis and all around fun for kids. This place is huge!!! Hill galore and loads of trees. Geese and ducks surround this place as well. La Mirada takes care of this place very well.

My children attended a private summer tennis session with Joseph McConnell. (562) 889‑8053. He was a true tennis pro. Both in his expertise and teaching. My primary school age kids loved him. Their game improved. Nice park setting. I highly recommend him!

Went 4 days in a row with kids age 6 – 15 and they all had a blast. The bathrooms were locked in Saturday and Sunday.
The playgrounds:
One had all kinds of weird imaginative things for the kids to climb on and play with.
The other had smaller things for the little ones and is very well shaded.
I would recommend anyone to go with family or even by yourself.

I went here for the first time a couple days ago with my boyfriend. The pastoral beauty of it is amazing. I love all the trees & the green grass.
Of course, I’m sure most people visit this park for the pond. There is a path that winds along the perimeter of it so it’s a great trail to go for a stroll or a jog. In the pond, there are ducks! The ducks are pretty friendly & they don’t run away even if you get near (I guess they’re used to people). When I went there, I saw a gentleman sitting in a lawn chair with his fishing rod. I’m not too sure if that’s allow but I found that really neat!
The other people at the park all minded their own business. There was no trash thrown around so I’m assuming people are considerate enough to toss their own garbage. However, I wasn’t too fond of the duck poop on the walking path. On the grass, I don’t mind so much, but it was frequented by duck poop in several places along the path.
Even so, this is a very nice park to relax & have some quiet time with nature. Plenty of trees to protect you from the summer rays & a gorgeous setting for a picnic.

This park is huge and beautiful! A park for everyone. it has tennis court… and quite a bit of them, frisbee golf, playground for the kids, basketball cour, and lots of greenery for picnic or for kids to run around with the ducks and geese (i think they are geese), ponds surrounded by trees along a very long walking path for a romantic walk, or benches around park. Nice!

I come to this park pretty regularly since ours right across the street from my sister’s school. It’s a kinda big park… not overwhelmingly large like El Dorado park in Long Beach, just larger than the little neighborhood parks that I’m used to. Anyways, beyond the size, I love that there’s more than one playground so that my one year old doesn’t have to be trampled by older kids when he is playing. I have had a few instances of people still not watching their kids at the little kid playground, but overall this park is pretty awesome.

ATTENTION DISC GOLFERS: Come here for a competitive and full disc golf course. There aren’t too many disc golf parks. This one has a HUGE course with I believe over 30 courses. The layout of the park is nice and inviting. There are several available tennis courts. It’s surprising this is just a local park in a residential area.
They even have a tennis/​disc golf shop at the park in case you forgot to bring something.
The only thing that reminds me that this is not a disc golf country club but a local park is the restroom. Yes, it’s the nasty, smelly, «Where is my Purell?» kind of bathroom.
Nevertheless, you’re here for the sports, not the bathroom. And, the course is well laid out so that there is plenty of green land to play without interfering with a different group of disc golfers.

«Parks are idealizations of nature, but nature in fact is not a condition of the ideal.» –Robert Smithson
I am seriously going against the grain here with a 3-​Star review. Allow me to explain.
Although it is truly a beautiful park with well manicured lawns, a lovely lake filled with geese and ducks, and a sizable children’s playground, it is rather plain. For such a large plot of land (100 acres according to the city website), I would say that a great majority of it is just plain grassy fields.
I do fully appreciate that kids can play soccer or baseball games here. There are also tennis courts and I saw a couple of frisbee golf chain-​link catchers, but considering the space they have, the park is so very underutilized! I saw one covered picnic area.
The kids playground, although large, is located at the top of a hill, on its backside and is very difficult to find if you’ve never been there. It would have been nice to see multiple smaller playgrounds made available to the little ones who’s families are spread throughout the park for different activities.
The restrooms, also in the far back area of the lake, reeked of urine and bleach as I walked by. I didn’t dare enter.
Still, it is a great place to walk your dog, or go for a jog. La Mirada Regional is A-​OK in my book.

Noteworthy: The park butts up against Splash, a small water park that seems like a heck of a lot of fun:

La Mirada, you are impressive.
With a local swimming pool and A WATER PARK, a lake with ducks, a playground with the typical jungle gym things and super fun spinning ones, how could one not give this park a 5 star review?
There was ample greenery to run and be kids. It was an amazing experience and sort of makes me want to move to La Mirada, just so I can call this park my own local park.

Across from Biola University, this «regional park» makes ones in my neighborhood look subpar (k…heh). It’s clean, provides ample *free* parking, and has jaw-​dropping facilities.
Fancy pool with its own water park?! Check. Random artificial lake with over-​friendly ducks and geese? Check. Super cool playground with spinning contraptions and an awesome jungle gym? Check. Tennis courts? Trees for climbing? Grass for playing soccer and cartwheeling? Check, check, check.
Oh hey, and a city hall, too! It’s hard to believe that this park is even public, hence this raving review. La Mirada, I’m impressed.

Lots of parking, tennis courts – first come first serve, large jungle gym area so at least 15 kids can be playing Lord of the Flies and still have room to move. For the more «shy» kids, there’s swing sets, a teeny «hut», and benches/​play areas under the jungle gym.
Frisbee golf is usually going on around the duck pond. Dog doo doo is scarce, so their owners are picking up after their pets. Pets are leashed.
Lots of picnic benches and trees to refuel or shade your weary self after chasing kiddos. OK to BBQ; I say bring your own Master grill otherwise you’ll have to charcoal up. No cigarette smoking allowed.
You’ll end up being there for a while because the kid never wants to leave once they «make friends.» So bring a snack, beverage, & maybe a blanket to sit on while soaking up the sunshine and giggles.

This park is nice.
Lots of parking. Spacious. has it’s own water park… WHAT?! yes, it has it’s own water park!!!
I like La Mirada because I feel safe there and the surrounding neighborhood seems clean and quiet.
I will def. come back to ride my bike or take a nap under the shade here.
Also, the playground is cool! if I was little, that would prob. be one of my fave play places!
