I have been trying to make good on my promise to the kids to take them to a lot of parks this summer. The first stop in our Park Tour was Valencia Park in West Irvine. We went before n’s swim lesson to avoid the hot sun. An added benefit to going early is that we had the playground to ourselves. I was also able to get some walking in since there is a nice path circling the playground area.
Although you cannot really see it in this picture, there is a nautical theme to the play structure, which is cute. k and n also like this park because of the large field, which is perfect for soccer practice and cartwheels. It is also pretty perfect for learning how to ride a bicycle since there is a nice wide paved path that circles the field.
