Located in the foothills of Orange, this spacious regional park offers scenic picnic areas, playgrounds, and unique attractions that make it a popular spot for birthday gatherings and group celebrations.

Families can reserve group picnic areas and shelters throughout the park, many of which include built-in BBQ grills, sinks, and permanent picnic tables—perfect for hosting food, cake, and party games. Several reservable sites can accommodate larger groups, and some areas have capacities of up to about 200 guests, making them ideal for birthday parties, family reunions, and celebrations.

There are also four playgrounds, swing sets, and wide grassy areas where kids can run and play between activities.

For a more organized celebration, the Irvine Park Railroad also offers reserved party pavilions and event spaces with picnic tables, BBQs, and electrical outlets, along with optional add-ons like train ride tokens, moon bounces, and other fun activities.
