This is an amazing trail with numerous paved and unpaved paths. Perfect for a stroll, hike, or jog. I just keep coming back. Great for the whole family. Beautiful for a photo shoot, full of scenic views and artistic flare, including a garden labyrinth.

This park and trail are pretty awesome. There is a really cool playground that my daredevil 2 Year old was all over. The trail has some pretty cool sights that she enjoyed finding. Clean area and easy parking.

Very peaceful and quiet. Saw some ducks, a heron and plenty of lizards. Shady, paved trail with gems like a maze and community art

It so relaxing to bring food and having them under the shades on those tables then stay a while to read or just enough to enjoy the nice cooler air under the shades of the trees...

Fun and easy park for a walk. Signs said there is a butterfly area there but we could find it. Still enjoyed sculptures along the way and beautiful landscape.

Really great local park consisting of multiple trail paths with various stops. Theres a maze, a butterfly garden and art contributed by the city. It isnt very vigorous or demanding. It does have great scenic areas.

I play PokèmonGO, Wizards Unite and Munzee. Tons of stops, gyms, inns, greenhouses and fortresses for the first 2 games along the trail. And its just a great paved trail to walk on.

I was walking my dog there for the first time, wondering why it took me so long to find this gem right in the middle of the city, so close to my house. I walked by the pretty, babbling brook, really enjoying it. But then I saw a huge snake laying almost across the path. I thought it was dead...I warned another dog walker coming the other way. She took pictures of it, but walked by. I warned a bicyclist heading toward the snake. She wasnt worried and sailed right by it. So, after much deliberation, I decided to just walk my dog quickly past it, which I did. It isnt a long trail at all. I havent been back...

Gorgeous, well kept but still very natural setting. Paved and dirt paths. Would love more easily accessible restrooms as we have young children. Maybe at least in one place near the trail? We really enjoy the art and seasonal decorations. Great place for family pictures.

This is a hidden gem in the Mission Viejo no matter age, shape or orientation. Gorgeously preserved area great for walking and running and everything is near by, the library and civic center are within a mile away. Dont miss this favorite spot for children of all ages.Its best to go at or before sundown.Thats when the fairy magic appears.

This trail is a nice easy trail to take your kids or your dogs to. The missing star is because a few places on this trail smell like raw sewage, but only fleetingly

Between the park and the beautiful Oso Creek Trail it gets no better . How blessed are we in S OC to have this and Laguna Niguel Community Park as two of the best nature areas to explore for hiking and bringing the kids too .

Great trail for a quick run or nature walk. Trail is Mega Dog friendly as there are multiple drinking fountains with dog dish’s for your 4-legged companion. Just be aware that coyotes are common when the sun sets.

I walk here quite frequently in the morning with my puppy. This trail is really nice and you feel safe walking along it give. The number of others who use the space. On the south side of the creek the trail is paved with plants, art pieces, and a good amount of shade. It connects to Norman P. Murray and the playground by a somewhat steep paved walkway or stairs at the further end.

Review №50

Absolutely gorgeous and serene nature space and trail within a developed surrounding. However you feel far far away with the babbling Creek, forest of oak, maples, eucalyptus, pine and beautifully maintained trails. Cross the bridge and end up at the labyrinth, or peace tower, or the butterfly garden. The sculptures and mosaics scattered about are perfect places to rest and meditate. Absorb all the living green and listen to the birds, and reset your inner mindscape to match this tranquil landscape.

Oso Creek Trail is a beautiful location. There is not a intense hiking trail there, just so you know. It is just an extremely well-maintained trail in Mission Viejo, CA. It is a great place to play Pokemon GO. It has multiple trail entrances, so choose which one you want to start with. If you go a certain route, there is a outdoor playground by a building called The Norman P. Murray Center. Norman Murray was the first mayor of Mission Viejo. It is also a good area to walk your dog. There is no one that ever says they dont like Oso Creek. There is a place with a little maze, artwork on then ground in certain areas, and if you come from the Jeronimo entrance to Oso Creek; there is a big paved hill and if you go up it, you see the Norman Murray Center. There are really cool exercise stations there, too. I would really recommend Oso Creek. I am David Parsons, a Local Guide in Orange County, CA. Hope you liked my review! You can see my reviews & ratings on my Local Guide profile. See you soon!

Review №73

Theres really no better place than this in South counties. This place is just pure magic. Beautiful expanses and trails to traverse, top notch parks and playgrounds and always something fun to explore. Currently theyre running their fairy home hunt, which was fun for me, but enchanting for the kids. If youre looking for a great place to spend a few hours, look no further.

Review №77

I live right next to this creek, only a 20 second walk, and there is frogs and salamanders!! The inky problem I have with it is that there is INSANE POLLUTION!! And by pollution I mean ripped up couches in the water, cigars, chairs, tables and litter!!! Also, poison nettle on the paths! I got stung by it! The saddest and worst part is the pollution. This is a huge reason why animals are going extinct. It would be nice if you guys can catch people littering this much. Anything for an animals safety! There should be a HUGE fine for littering. The world needs us!!
