This large park is right in the middle of Huntington Beach and is bisected by Golden West which is a major street. On either side there is about 1 square mile of very nice improved parkland with a restaurants. The Huntington Beach Library (which is quite large) sits on its western corner. There are large ponds with plenty of bird... More

This park appears out of nowhere and you feel like you have escaped the cares of the city. Beautiful ponds filled with birds and ducks and geese galore. You can even spot owls asleep up in the trees. Great place to walk or picnic with friends.

This is one of my favorite places in HB. Around every turn of the paved walkway through the park there is something different to see. It never feels crowded because it's so vast. It has a fun fitness trail too.

Very entertaining to watch the congo drummers and other musicians and just people watching was so great.

A great place to get away from it all. Usually very quiet and serene, especially in the mornings. The lake is teeming with ducks, geese, cormorants, blue herons, egrets and oftentimes white pelicans.

Most people think of Huntington Beach as a surfers' paradise, which it is, but there is so much more to HB than the beach. A visit to Central Park when we were house hunting sold us on this town. The park is huge, with acres of walkways, gardens, and ponds. The crowning gem in the park is the Central Library,... More

Camped with the boy scouts. Such a beautiful patch of green. Lovely big trees, large lawn areas. For the less adventurous a nice little place to get food is near by.
