Overview
Citrus Ranch Park is yet another example of the great parks that are located within the city of Tustin. The park is situated among 16 beautiful acres and includes a unique citrus themed playground to match its history. Kids can often be found here sliding down the big artificial turf on cardboard boxes. However, there are signs posted at the playground asking for visitors not to do this but it is incredibly common to see this here. The first thing that jumps out upon arriving at the park are the beautiful flowers and meticulously manicured grounds. A huge pavilion area greets visitors upon entering, before a long orange walkway (lined with lemons) leads to the playground. Additionally, a nice lemon tree orchard is located here. The park respectfully asks that no one pick anything from the trees.

Scout’s Story
My wife and I along with our 1 year old daughter, Scout, decided to make an afternoon trip to Citrus Ranch Park. Scout is just learning to walk, so after walking her around the big kids playground for a few minutes we made our way directly to the toddler playground. Scout absolutely loved riding on the spring riders and seems to get joy out of anything that bounces her around. She followed this up by playing in the clubhouse briefly before heading to the baby swings for a bit. Our favorite part of visiting Citrus Ranch Park on this day was just being outside and walking the grounds. Citrus Ranch Park is a beautiful, spacious park, with immaculately kept grounds and we look forward to coming back.
