Turtle Rock Community Park

We had some free time on Saturday morning, so we decided to check out Turtle Rock Community Park in Irvine.  We started out by checking out the small Nature Center.  There is a short trail that is accessible via the back of the Nature Center.

First we consulted the trail map.

Then we headed toward the right, and found the rock maze.

Then we looked at the human sun dial.

I enjoyed reading the quotes along the way.

This is the perfect “hike” for really small kids—even toddlers could do it.

Next the kids played in the park.

We snacked on mini bagel chips—aren’t they cute?

There is also a small stream with ducks.

I enjoyed exploring this park.  It is always good to spend some time outdoors, and we are fortunate that such outings are possible in the middle of winter.
