South OC – Parks and Playgrounds Index

South OC parks and playgrounds represent over half of my blog posts. They’re featured heavily on this site, because I’m lucky to have so many recommendations. If you live in south Orange County, please recommend your favorite parks so I can build on your insider information!

I’ve also provided links to south OC regional parks and city park pages at the bottom of the page.

Our regional parks require a $3-$5 entrance fee – but they are worth every penny!
