Clarington Park is in a Laguna Hills neighborhood situated in the triangle formed by Alicia Parkway, Paseo de Valencia and Los Alisos.
It's a tranquil oasis with large trees for shade and very manageable play area - even with multiple kids.
My favorite time to go is in the late afternoon and evening. It's also a great diversion when you need outdoor time after a trip to errands nearby.
