Wow what a preserve! Parking seem abundant and there are some many beautiful flowers in this garden and the art mixture really offers something for everyone, outdoors, which is great with COVID-19. The grounds keepers helped navigate us through the labyrinth which is really a small patch of land landscaped to offer quite the space for a hike/ walk.I think this spot would be perfect for outdoor photos or a wedding with the mixture of gazebos, archways, and seating.Plus the YMCA and community center are so close but dont get confused the preserve is at the entrance of the lot, nearest to the main road. Dogs are welcome and its super kid friendly.

Need to have a map somewhere along path. Loved they had markers by most plants. Very pretty. Spent a good hour or more walking but would have liked to know what paths there are. We may have missed something just because we didnt know the path was there. Loved the Boy and Girl Scout gardens. Very well done.

This review is about the Enchanted Lights show. It is so other worldly and beautiful you will experience true holiday spirit. A light and sound show with lovely, calming music and well thought out interactivity for children. It was so wonderful we had to go back a second time. This will definitely be our new annual holiday tradition. Wish I had known about it sooner! Tip: book in October if you have younger kids because weekends and early time slots go fast.

Sooo beautiful well maintained so many different trees, flowers, insects, trails..My son n I love this place we can hang out all day here.Lots of space shade green grass nice breeze lovely scented flowers its like paradise so peaceful

Beautiful botanical garden. Lots of meandering paths with lovely vistas and well-marked botanical information. While an easy garden, it is very steep and not ideal for anything with wheels.

I come here with my dog every week. The botanical park is gorgeous year-round and changes constantly, always something new in bloom. Many trails to walk and very serene place.

The plants are awesome at this place, I highly recommend this place.

I love it here. Such a peaceful and beautiful place to walk and enjoy nature

There are so many different trees and flowers and the trail is not complicated. There are also butterflies and birds singing all day long..

Beautifully maintained, Realxing environment, free to go in. Looks small but it really is not. Cool spots to take pictures too.

Amazing park!I’ve never seen such a great combination of flowers and plants in a small local park.I couldn’t stop taking pictures...

Nice walk...be prepared to climb up lots of steps on uneven ground. Cool (literally) good to walk on a hot day. People driving in the parking area keep asking where it is. . I point to the whole hill side

Just such a beautiful arrangement of all sorts of plants, flowers, trees and an atmosphere that is perfect for meditation, relaxation, reflection, quiet calm. In the past I played music for a book club once when I was a music student. I like the place a lot and hope to have my own small event there in the rose garden.

Nice place. Not big hills, many flowers. Have been there Wednesday 4-6 and empty.

Nice little walking area and it looked like dogs were allowed as well

Beautiful place to walk around and look at all the different flowers in bloom.

MUST VISIT! Its beautiful and a great place to get away from crowds!.

There is a lot to explore and I keep wondering if Ive missed anything. Ive come here with my mom, Ive come by myself, Ive come with my dog and my camera. This is a good place to learn about different flora and get lost in nature in the middle of the city.

Simply beautiful to walk around and see how native species of California can come together in a fantastic garden setting. There are plenty of places to sit and rest and lots of artwork from local artists and local donors that make walking through the garden very interesting.

A beautiful garden with great exhibits of California natives. Summertime is hot and a good time to see the dormant period. Yes, we do have seasons in California - our winter is summertime ; )A beautiful walk. Check out the cool Boy Scout/Girl Scout gardens. Very nice, well done exhibits.Connects to the Laguna Niguel regional park and the Crown Valley park, so a good hub to park and walk or to go to the playgeounds or splash pad.

Wow! What a beautiful place to walk. More elevation than we had expected, but amazing views.

Beautiful gardens :) dont drink too much water on this challenging hike. I would describe it more as a steep stroll

Beautiful lots of different plants and flowers. I recommend visiting here.

Great place for families to visit and dog friendly!!

Lovely place to explore. Cant wait to see it once everything is done.

This place is so beautiful and a great place for a hike! I loved all the little trails, each one is like an adventure.

How could I have not known this was here? So much to explore. Great for a stroll with a partner or buddy. Beautiful!

This place is awesome. There is a cool park for kids to play. When that gets old there are a bunch of trails with tons of different plants and wildlife to check out.

Beautiful & peaceful place, needs some

Its was good to refresh scientific names plants and enjoy the environment.

Fantastic hidden gem just off Crown Valley.

Beautiful place to sit or walk in nature

Great place to walk around in the morning.

Love this place, relaxing walk, nice garden, photo shoot friendly

Sweet hidden spot to relax and have lunch and enjoy nature,... NOT a STRIP MALL in sight.

Absolutely breathtaking!!!

Great botanical garden I have been there many times already

Not worth taking a trip just to see it, especially if compared to other botanical preserves in the region. Pleasant as park but very disappointing as botanical preserve. Upper parts of the park do not seem to be cared for or mantained. I do not recommend.

Beautiful tranquil place to gather your thoughts and enjoy the beauty of nature. Easy free parking and comfortable benches.

Beautiful, well maintained preserve. There is a nearby playground which is actually impressive. The hills provide a challenging hike so wear sneakers and bring water. Public restrooms are available. Parking is under construction but there is ample space.

I love this place! very peaceful!

This is a nice place to take a walk while enjoying various plants. There is a also a nice playground and a swimming pool.

Really good gardens to walk around anytime. Parks for kids and a splash park (closed during construction right now but looks AMAZING)

Wonderful place to visit!

Beautiful place

Great place

This is by far one of my favorite places to take my kids. They have hiking trails with labels for all the different types of plants and trees. Plus there is a water park a YMCA, soccer fields, baseball fields, free shows and movies, and a playground. Its an amazing comunity park to hang out at. #1in my book.

Its a great park five star when construction finished

This is a pleasant and wonderful garden area that we are extremely lucky to have in our community. Most impressive is the size. Such a large walking area for being a community garden. It clearly requires a lot of work and effort from a great many volunteers and professionals. It is devide up into sections including a rose garden, plants from Australia, sections dedicated to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, etc.As with pretty much all botanical gardens, things change. So a plants name plate may not always be near a plant that is there, as it may have long since died or never taken root. That doesnt take away from the educational aspect of the reserve. It may even add to it as your student digs through his or her guide books to find each plant.Of course, this reserve is only one section of the park. Nearby is the outdoor theater, pool, kids area, and sports areas. Each of these worth their weight in gold for our community and fantastically installed and maintained.

Stumbled upon this place! Very nice little hike thru the garden

The guy who was touring us was very friendly and I was with Outdoor Ed classes and I love how he stop and let people ask questions.

STUNNING

Great spot for a walk. We took our dogs with us and walked up and down all the paths there. There is a lot to see and if you take the time to stop and admire everything youll be there for hours. The bonus was it tired out our crazy min pin and he slept for HOURS after we got home.

Nice variety of native plants

Great when not being worked on

This place is great. Love the trails. The botanical garden is beautiful. Very tranquil.

Amazing, I went on 4th of July and they have this amazing show, I really nice band, some really good snacks, the people very kind, and of course, the fireworks at the end of the day were a fantastic and amazing show, they where my first firework show and I can tell you, that it was probably the best thing I have presence in a very long time.

I wish..nah I didnt. Was just passing through. Maps mishap

Theres a PokemonGo gym there

Magical

A relaxing place to wander around. Lovely plants and views.

Very peaceful

No signage. Couldnt even find it.

This place is something special. Walk and around and relax to be away from busy streets of laguna niguel. This place preserved what laguna niguel used to look like. I recommend this place to spend time away from big cities.

Nice place to walk and enjoy a bit of tranquillity near the city.

Fun, no as many trails that they say

This place is a hidden gem. It consists of 18 acres of delightful and relaxing paths, trails, gardens, statues, benches, and all types of trees and plants. An absolute must-see!

Help out the boys and girls club. Visit regularly.

Its beautiful and well maintained.

A polished sophisticated botanical garden - park with plants from all over the world.

Delightful gardens, trails and staff.
