Twila Reid Park

It’s not easy to find a park with a playground for toddlers. This park is clean and inviting. We used to see a lot of homeless and high schoolers here, but Anaheim City has done an amazing job cleaning it up, and keeping it clean! Beautifully landscaped.
Great park for walking/​running. Lots of markers to know your distance.
Frisbee golf, horseshoes, and basketball in addition to a well kept playground. Plenty of parking and a really nice gazebo and picnic tables all over for events.

Awesome with the new playground, really no more homeless? I still saw a few but not something like before.

I used to be homeless at this park back in ²⁰⁰⁹⁄₂₀₁₀. When we were there the people showed my husband and I so much love and support. The community was kind hearted and openly accepted us. Since then we now have a home and life couldn’t be better.
While we were there we met a few homeless people there that basically became our family. If anyone has seen a man named Jason (long hair, Caucasian, skinny & calls people brother) please let me know. His lady at the time was named sarge but I don’t know if they are still together. they used to stay in a van. My email is

I’d love to find him and help him out if possible.

The only reason we continue to come to this park is because it’s convenient. There are almost no water fountains in the area to accommodate the children that are playing on the playground, there are homeless people and crackheads at every corner, especially when it starts to get dark, and the restrooms seem to not be maintained at all.

There great play equipment and its very spacious. Good for riding bikes and having picnics. Its surrounded by nice houses and everything looks clean and friendly.

Vapers, smokers, unsafe and unsanitary items all over the park’s grounds, homeless people, and rude individuals among this area. Saw a group of teens blasting their ghetto music and smoking in front of little kids and parents. Very bad influences EVERYWHERE.
My sisters and I did not feel safe running around this park.

We were so excited when we read that Disney renovated this park. We excitedly took our daughter to play only to be disgusted by the trash, cigarette butts, and poop that littered the play area. There was even a razor blade on the ground next to where we parked. It’s a shame that so much money was spent on something that isn’t respected.

It’s beautiful with a nice disc golf course BUT, why is the city allowing it to become a homeless camp?

I used to come to this park as a kid since I attended Twila Reid…
I decided to come and see how it would be to switch up my morning walk with Brooklyn, my furbaby. We aim for 2 miles and I figured 2 trips around would do the trick… WRONG! 1 trip around is only ½ a mile… What normally takes me 20 minutes to walk 2 miles took me almost an hour because I was walking around trying to get it in. It was ridiculous.
On a brighter note, its different terrain so I for sure felt the difference between where I typically walk and here, it was nice.
I went around 5 am and as it got closer to 6am, the interesting people started coming out. Some guy on his bike was yelling at the people in his head to, «…get out, I don’t need you in my bleeping life…» needless to say, I headed back to my car and left, luckily I had gotten my 2 miles in right at that moment.
No need to worry about light though, lighting is perfect along with plenty of trash cans to toss the poop bags. People, please make sure to remember, its your responsibility to clean up after your furbabies! I ended up stepping in someones lack of keeping up. Also completely ruined my moment, thanks!

STAY AWAY FROM TWILA REID PARK! Homeless and tweakers everywhere! The city needs to address the issue and get rid of the hobos and stoners invading the park benches and tables. And don’t come to this park expecting fresh air because you’ll just get dirty, musky smoke clouds. The playgrounds are filthy and covered with graffiti. The bathrooms are too and there’s always something funky going on in there! Don’t forget to mention the creeps lurking in their cars in every parking lot. Please please please avoid going to this park! It’s the worst!

Nice park the community along with the city have chipped in to remodel the playground area and have a lot more activities for kids and grownups.
