Fairmount Park

This park has a lot to offer! While busier than other parks in the area, I think it is less crowded than a comparable park in Los Angeles county.I believe the lake is man-made, and I didn't make it down to the Santa Ana River. However, the trees provide a great place to walk, and I think there may be some amount of social events. For example, it seemed like there was always someone taking photos in the Rose Garden (on a Saturday afternoon). Also, if you have children, then I believe there are multiple large playground areas.

I don't usually visit this park, so this review is strictly about its potential for photography. We came here for photos, and honestly, I wasn't convinced this spot would deliver. It's not the kind of park I'd typically hang out at, but let me tell you--the pictures turned out amazing.The shots around the lake with the trees? S T U N N I N G. It's a great spot for all kinds of photos--family portraits, birthdays, couples, or even baby pictures. I'm genuinely surprised at how incredible the photos turned out, this park offers a solid backdrop for photos. If you're looking for a beautiful backdrop, this spot is this towns hidden gem.I'd rate it a 5 for photoshoots and a 3 for park vibes--averaging out to a solid 4 stars.

First of all he gave me the ugliest mango out of all of them!!! He then cut the mango and gave it to me once I took a bite I noticed a weird taste then I looked at it close and saw mold!! (As shown in the picture) then I proceeded to tell him about it and he was very disrespectful! never buying from him again!! He lost a costumer !!!!!! If I could put zero stars I would such an a traumatizing experience

Good park for families and lots of stuff to do with the kids. I like that the have vendors that sell stuff they even have pony so cute!

(Went in September for my birthday)What in the world? This park was not what I imagined it would be. It's large and a great location for community engagement; however, that also means a lot of random stuff happens here. There were several homeless people throughout the park. They weren't bothering anyone but I just wanted to put that out there in case that's important to someone.The pond was dirty and looked visibly different compared to older pictures I'd seen online. I feel duped and I wonder if I went on an off day? I actually went on my birthday so it was a good day.There was the typical ice cream truck. There were lots of bikers, a couple get togethers going on and music was loud. I'm not sure I would recommend this park. It seemed kinda sketchy and we left after taking a few pictures.

I come here once in a while to see the cute little ducks. But I recently went and there's a lot of homeless now and lots of trash sadly. Would like to see it be cleaned up a bit more.

This park encompasses Lake Evans. It is not a lake you'd want to swim in but it serves as a beautiful backdrop of wildlife, and people enjoying life. I was surprised to not see transients or riff raff going on but everyday people with their families spending quality time at the park. This park is huge and felt safe.

As a photographer, it's one of my go to locations. The scenery reminds me of Louisiana's bayou and there's a neat boat house as well. It is very pretty but I'd recommending cautious and mindful of some of the folks who live/hang out in the park. The rose garden is gorgeous when in bloom and is a great wedding location.

One playground at this large park out of 2. We go to this park almost every weekend. There are homeless but I've never felt unsafe. I love this playground for my kid, 2 different areas, swings, stepping stones, and a music area. The only downside is there is usually trash everywhere. The park has volunteers daily to pick up the trash and there are a million trash cans. We love seeing the ducks in the lake.

I still have yet to explore the rest of the park. I've only seen a little bit and I've had a great experience. It's clean, Spacious , & we feel safe . Every other weekend I see low riders which is always fascinating to see. Because I get to see the classical cars.The last time I came here with my grandmother. I saw some people roller blading which was very fun. And I heard that there was also a restroom in this park which makes it lovely in case of an emergency.
