Reviews
It's really amazing to learn the 300 acer filter area is cleverly disguised as a nature preserve. Great for bird watching !! There are various easy walking loops which you can decide how further you would like to go. Definitely a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset, too.
The variety of birds and the changing seasons are beautiful here. I've been coming a couple years. I love to go take pictures of the many birds in the marshes and the riverbed next to it. From raptors to lizards there is so much to see. Take the kids and print out the bird list with boxes to check what birds are seen. There are so many different species I really enjoy!
This place plays an important role in purifying the water, but it also seems to provide peace of mind.
It was a calm park for birdwatching.
Went around noon and saw few birds. The trail is well marked.
A breathtaking 300-acre coastal freshwater wetland with 200 bird species and 12 miles of walking trails. We enjoyed stunning bird watching and discovered historic buildings. It's a hidden gem perfect for a peaceful outdoor activity in Irvine. Check it out!
Nice to walk about peacefully and birdwatch. Seems to be a photography hot spot as I saw many people with big lenses and tripods walking about. I personally like walking in the back bay more thus far but I’m sure I’ll be back over here for another trek at some point.
Plenty of parking and easily accessible which are positives for many.
Quiet and peaceful environment. A garden perfect for meditation, bird watching, walking, education, butterflies, trees and flowers.
Very nice preserve , you can get close to the water and watch the water birds.
Quite and relaxing walk.
