Segerstrom Triangle

A Pocket of Green in Santa Ana

Tucked away near the intersection of Segerstrom Avenue and Shelton Street in Santa Ana, California, Segerstrom Triangle is one of those unassuming local spaces that brings a welcome splash of green to the urban landscape. At just 1.22 acres, it's not going to compete with national parks anytime soon, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in community value.

This modest park consists mainly of grassy areas where neighbors can stretch their legs and take a break from the surrounding urban environment.

What You'll Find There

Don't expect bells and whistles here - Segerstrom Triangle embraces simplicity. The open grass area is ideal for throwing a frisbee, having a small picnic, or just lying back and cloud-watching on a nice day.

The park keeps things minimalist with its straightforward design. Worth noting is that there's no playground equipment, and the park isn't fenced off from surrounding streets - something to keep in mind if you're visiting with little ones.

Community Heart

Segerstrom Triangle serves an important purpose beyond recreation. Friday afternoons transform this modest green space into something special, as local volunteers gather to distribute free food pantry items to neighbors in need.

These regular food distributions have become something of a tradition, weaving the park into the fabric of local community service and bringing folks together in a meaningful way.

Good to Know Before You Go

You can visit Segerstrom Triangle daily between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. - plenty of time to catch both the sunrise and sunset if you're so inclined.

As with most public parks, there are some ground rules to follow. Keep the alcohol and cigarettes at home, and make sure your four-legged friends stay on their leashes. And heads up on parking - there are some "No Parking" zones around the park, so check the signs before you leave your car.
