Ronald Reagan Park

Park Overview

Found in the Anaheim Hills area, Ronald Reagan Park spans 18.3 acres of recreational space. If you're wondering about the name, it was actually called Toyon Park until 2011, when it was renamed to honor America's 40th President.

What strikes visitors immediately about this park is how impeccably maintained it is. The clean, serene environment makes it a wonderful escape for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy some quality outdoor time.

Trails and Paths

Lace up those walking shoes! The park has some seriously well-kept walking paths and trails that are perfect whether you're a casual stroller, dedicated runner, or avid hiker.

If you're looking to extend your adventure, check out the East Hills trail - a 1.5-mile path that runs along the west side of the park. It's perfect when you want to go that extra mile (literally).

For even more exploration options, the park connects to the Weir Canyon Trail and several smaller neighborhood trails. These connections are great for hikers and off-road biking enthusiasts wanting to venture beyond the park's boundaries.

Sports Facilities

Ronald Reagan Park has a variety of athletic facilities, catering to sports lovers of all types.

You'll come across baseball diamonds, soccer fields complete with netted goals, sand volleyball courts, and a lighted basketball court that allows for evening games. These facilities attract everyone from casual players to organized teams.

The expansive grassy areas are meant for impromptu games of flag football or just tossing a frisbee around. Just note that on Mondays and Wednesdays, you might find the Canyon football association holding youth practices on some fields.

Children's Play Area

The playground is a big hit with kids. The modern equipment includes a zip track, climbing structures, spinners, twin tall slides, and oversized swings that children really enjoy.

Thoughtfully designed with different age groups in mind, the playground has separate sections to ensure safe play for everyone. The equipment is relatively new and well-maintained - excellent for children up to about 12 years old.

Picnic Areas

Looking for an outdoor meal spot? There are two covered gazebos and plenty of picnic tables scattered throughout the park. Some areas even come equipped with grills for those who want to cook up some outdoor delights.

Planning a birthday party or baby shower? The covered picnic areas can be reserved for special events. These spots offer great views of the surrounding park while providing much-needed shade on sunny California days.

Restrooms and Amenities

No need to cut your park visit short - the centrally located restroom building has multiple stalls and sinks. They're generally clean and well-maintained, however you might notice the water pressure isn't always the strongest.

You'll find drinking fountains within the park, and dog owners will appreciate the provided waste bags. While your four-legged friends are welcome, they need to stay leashed at all times to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment.

Accessibility

Ronald Reagan Park is designed with accessibility in mind, including thoughtful elements for visitors with varying needs.

The park features accessible swings and offers ample parking with 236 car spaces. There's even designated parking for horse trailers, highlighting the park's connection to local equestrian trails.

The spacious parking lot easily handles multiple events happening simultaneously. When evening falls, good lighting extends from the parking areas to the playing fields and playgrounds, ensuring safety and extended hours of enjoyment.
