Birch Park

Park Overview

Nestled at the corner of 3rd and Ross Streets in Santa Ana, Birch Park offers a cozy 2.66-acre green retreat from the surrounding urban landscape. This nearby park provides a welcome breath of fresh air for locals looking to unwind or get active without venturing far from home.

Facilities and Amenities

At the heart of the park stands the Santa Ana Senior Center, a vibrant hub where the community's older adults connect and engage in various activities.

The park's outdoor exercise equipment gives you a place to work out under the open sky. There are also several picnic areas complete with shelters, ideal for everything from family lunches to casual get-togethers with friends.

Recreation Spaces

Sometimes you just need to sit and watch the world go by, and the park's scattered benches offer exactly that opportunity. The open lawn areas invite impromptu frisbee games, picnics, or simply stretching out with a good book on a sunny afternoon.

Security and Safety

Your safety matters here. The park is enclosed by perimeter fencing with gates that close after hours, and regular patrols by local police and park rangers help maintain a secure environment.

It's worth noting that, like many urban parks, the atmosphere can change throughout the day. The park tends to be busiest during daylight hours, and some visitors have expressed safety concerns about evening visits, so plan your trip accordingly.

Visitor Information

The on-site parking structure provides convenient parking for visitors. You'll also find public restrooms available for when nature calls.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy this community space whether you're an early bird or night owl.
