Vista Park

A Breath of Fresh Air

Tucked away in Irvine's University Hills community, Vista Park truly lives up to its name. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views that stretch from California Avenue/Anteater Drive all the way to downtown Irvine and beyond. The park's open green space creates a peaceful retreat that feels removed from city life.

Perched atop California Avenue/Anteater Drive, this elevated spot provides an excellent view of the surrounding landscape. The sunsets here are quite impressive - the sky fills with colors that change with the seasons. And there's something special about the park after dark too, when the city lights begin to twinkle below.

What You'll Find

Need a spot for an outdoor meal? Vista Park has a welcoming picnic area where you can relax and dine while soaking in those impressive views. Thinking about a cookout? The grilling facilities make it easy to prepare a delicious meal in the great outdoors.

Just a heads-up - there are no restroom facilities at the park itself, so plan accordingly. While the main area focuses on open spaces for relaxation, families will appreciate the playground conveniently located across the street, giving little ones a place to burn off energy.

Local Connections
