📝 Citrus Park Review
Citrus Park in Anaheim is a cheerful neighborhood playground that feels like a hidden gem. I loved that they included signs in different languages — Spanish, braille, and even sign language — which made it feel thoughtful and inclusive.
The structure itself is bright and inviting, with plenty of little sensory features. My kids especially loved the mirrors and spinning objects — great for imaginative play and also perfect for hide-and-seek (a current favorite for my 4-year-old). Even though the sign says the playground is for ages 5–12, my 2-year-old had no trouble climbing, spinning, and sliding right alongside her big sister.
While there’s no bathroom or shade over the playground, there is a large covered gazebo nearby. We kept our visit short since it was sunny, but it’s a great spot if you’re already planning to be in the area — especially with some food or coffee nearby.

Yes. Despite the posted age range, my 2-year-old had no issues here. There are plenty of low steps, sensory elements, and accessible features for toddlers — we just stayed close since it’s not fenced.
🚧 Enclosed / Fenced In?
No — the playground is open with no fence, and one side is near the parking lot.

🧠 Tips for Visiting Citrus Park with Kids
- Bring snacks and water, even for short visits
- Pack a hat and sunblock if you’re going mid-day — Southern California is usually sunny
- There’s no playground shade here, so on hot days (especially during summer), it’s best to go in the morning or late afternoon
- Wear closed-toed shoes — the wood chips can be uneven in spots, and it’s just easier for little feet to run and climb that way
🥪 Nearby Food & Coffee
- Thank You Coffee Anaheim: a short drive away, with great coffee and baked goods
- Anaheim Packing House: family-friendly food hall with tons of fun options
This park makes a nice stop before or after a quick bite or treat nearby.
