Looks like a good place to visit if your activity is allowed. Restrooms are near the Tennis courts, some areas are taped off but it appeared that a soccer game or practice had just ended. Parking was convenient as well.

Parking is plenty when I was there early in the morning. There are two parking lots, one located on Bryan and the other one is located on Yale which is closer to the tennis courts.Soccer field, two gated tennis courts, two tennis walls, tracks, beautiful playground structures and clean toilets are a few great things about this wonderful park.

This place is expansive and there are many things to do here, from watching the kids play in the playground and play in the huge playground, to having a neighborhood basketball match and exercising at the many stations around the place.

The community center is quite nice but the parking situation is not a good experience. There are not Nearly enough for a full day use of the park on the weekend.

Definitely one of the better parks in Irvine for kids. Its huge and they really feel like its a castle. My only complaint is there isnt a ton of shade so Id youre coming in the summer, be prepared

A very popular park! I visited it on a weekday. It was filled with what looked like day campers and a large group of adults doing Tai chi. We used it as the start of a bicycle tour of local class 1 bike paths. I give those paths five stars -- especially the Jeffrey open space trail which is almost ostentatious! The Hicks Canyon Trail is also very nice with over or under passes that allow trail users to avoid intersections. Or, if you need to get to the street, just take a convenient exit path.

Love the castle park!! Me and the kids could spend hours here. Bring lunch or snacks. They do have a vending machine for water.

Nice gem of a park, playground, and recreation center. The sand the children play in is cleaned and leveled every morning! The park is well maintained and used by many families for soccer, tai chi, walking dogs, toddler and preschool play, and more.

Thank you. I stayed at the Hotel across the street. The $42 parking was out of my budget. The park offers overnight parking for a small fee. This park has Volleyball, Yoga on water, Gondala boat rides & other activities & its a short scooter ride away from Venice Beach

We chose this park because of the memorial they have to honor our fallen service men and women. I love when cities recognize the sacrifice those young people have made.

Great playground. My kids have nicknamed this park Castle Park. The Castle and multiple bridges are fun for older kids to play on. Also has smaller equipment that is great for small children too. Soccer fields, Softball backstops, picnic pavilion, handball courts, etc. The new community center is also very nice with restroom facilities. It can be reserved for community events or birthday parties. Military monument is a good place to remember those from Irvine that have fought for our country.

If you classify parks in Irvine as small, medium and large, this is medium sized one. There is not much of lawn area, but many structures to play for age groups 2-6. Definitely a place worth visiting and checking if you are in near Bryan Yale. For tourists, it could be a place to hang out with kids to take some break.

Northwood community park is referred to most as NCP. It has a large play structure. This place also has 2 parking lots, located at the front and rear entrances. A clubhouse type building is there, which is where many occasions are held.

Recently came here for a family member birthday party and had a great time with my wife and kids! The park has a huge castle type play area. The park has mostly sand and also the soft asphalt type ground. small med and large play areas for all ages. Swings for babies, toddlers, little kids and big. Handball court, half basketball court, tennis court, baseball/softball/kickball field. Lots of grass areas for soccer or volleyball (if you bring a net). There are two parking lots and some street parking. Large picnic areas for parties (you have to reserve ahead of time) The park is really great lots of fun for everyone.

I give it five stars just for being clean and it’s a busy park. Grandkids liked the castle type structure and climbing on the large rocks around it. Had regular playground scruff also. I have never seen such clean playground sand.

This is a review for the playground only:What a huge, beautiful place to play! Mostly sand so dont forget your sand toys. I would say its 75% in the sun, so wear sunscreen - it was super hot the day I went and it was somewhat difficult to find shady areas in the playground. Will definitely go back on a cooler day. Worth checking out.
