Confirmed from Memory Lane Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Exercise area and playground nestled along the Santa Ana River trail.
What runners say about Memory Lane Park
“This park is clean and new, with very cute leaf/butterfly climbing features and some toys I haven't seen at other parks, including drums, a steering wheel that clicks, and more.”
“Where was the parking so I parked Inside the complex for a few minutes to walk around and take some pictures and this park is beautiful.”
“Has a lot of places for kids to play great place to jog or walk.”
I was looking for a park nearby to take a walk and this is the park that popped up on my maps. I drove over here. It’s right next to an apartment complex and cross is the golf course. One thing I found it.
Well maintained Long And lengthy bike paths Recently the county of Orange has clean up this area and it is safe to travel for miles on end There are very low few locations for rest stops such as restrooms or locations for Water fountains .
I walked the riverbed for excersis. I don't want to get a membership at a gym that I probably would go to may a couple of times a month. At the end of my walk one way is this park. It has everything a gym would have for free. I couldn't ask for more.
It's just up the street from where I live and it has w/out equip.also right on the santa ana river trail nice spot for walking and working out...
