Fred Barrera Park

Playground Features

Walk into Fred Barrera Park and you'll discover a rubber surface playground that keeps the little ones safe while they play their hearts out. For the little ones, there are baby bucket swings. Older kiddos? The kid swings are popular with older children. It's a well-kept play area that neighborhood families seem to flock to - and for good reason.

Picnic and Recreation Amenities

When hunger strikes, head to the covered picnic tables and BBQ stations - ideal for everything from impromptu sandwiches to full-on family cookouts. Need to work off those burgers? A walking path near the playground connects to a larger loop walking path that's just right for a casual stroll or your daily steps.

The park's open grass areas offer plenty of space to toss a frisbee, kick back with a book, or just let the kids run wild. It's nicely balanced between designated play spaces and open green areas where you can do your own thing. Just a heads up - the park doesn't have many shade trees, so you might want to bring a hat or sunscreen on sunny days.

Visitor Facilities

You'll discover a parking lot that serves both the park and nearby hiking trails, making it easy to visit without circling for street parking. And unlike many public parks, Fred Barrera boasts restroom facilities that are actually clean and well-maintained - a small but significant perk for families with young children or anyone planning to spend a few hours here.

Surrounding Area and Trails

Nestled on a hillside among residential neighborhoods and near Anaheim Hills Elementary School, this park is a place to play that's also a gateway to adventure. Hikers and mountain bikers can access a network of trails that connect to Edgewood Ridge, Robber's Roost, and Santiago Oaks Regional Park. On those crystal-clear Southern California days, the surrounding trails even offer views of Catalina Island - a lovely reward for those willing to venture beyond the park's boundaries.
