Alicia Park in Mission Viejo is best for younger kids. There’s a bench right by the playground and a nice covered picnic area for lunch.
Location: From Interstate 5, exit at Alicia Parkway and head towards the foothills. You will drive up Alicia past Jeronimo and turn left onto Via Linda, then right into the parking lot. Once you enter the parking lot, turn left to park next to the playground. (Address: 23650 Alicia Parkway, Mission Viejo) MAP TO ALICIA PARK IN MISSION VIEJO
