One of the best places to escape the hustle and bustle of Orange County life is the quiet and serine Tri City Park in Placentia, California. The park is a true hidden gem nestled in the area where the towns of Placentia, Fullerton and Yorba Linda border one another. The park is rarely crowded and it is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy the water, grass and several species of birds, some of which are not from this country (refugees from when Lion Country Safari closed in the 1980s). I was blessed enough to have lived within walking distance of the park in the 1990s and it used to be my Saturday morning ritual to spend the early hours decompressing from the week's stresses there.
The Skinny:
The 40-acre Tri-City Park is located in the City of Placentia, is bordered on two sides by the City of Fullerton, and is within a quarter-mile of the City of Brea’s border. It includes a lake and three reservable picnic shelters. A variety of recreational opportunities, including bicycling and walking, model sail boating, fishing and playgrounds are available.
An 8-acre lake is visited by many annual migratory waterfowl. Fishing for catfish and bluegill is allowed with a California Fish and Game License. Launching of model radio-controlled sailboats is also permitted.
The park is also a wildlife sanctuary and is very popular as a bird watching destination.
Three picnic shelters provide shade with tables and barbecues. In addition there are picnic tables and park benches scattered throughout the facility.
