Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

five star views with an easy dog-walking path or mile of beach at low tide. we live 2 miles away and it is a vacation any day. picnic tables with million-dollar views abound; end with a perfect if pricey glass of wine at the Montage lounge.

The expanse between Las Brisas Restaurant and Laguna Trolley stop #36 (by the octopus-like kraken sculpture on the sidewalk). It is cliff-top park with paths meandering through the length of it. Public art sculptures are enhanced by the natural beauty of the landscape (or it could also be the other way around).
The views down into the coves and beach area really are impressive. Benches and picnic areas dot the walkways. Lots of grass offer families places to sit and enjoy the beauty of Laguna. Painters always find a vista to memorialize in their artistic creations.
A gazebo near Las Brisas hangs out over the edge of a cliff, showcasing some spectacular views of tide pools and beach activities. It is a favorite gathering place for tourists and their cameras.
This park is named after Howard G. Heisler, one of the three main players in the Laguna Company circa 1905. This land (and much of Laguna) was bought from the Irvine Company for development but this jewel passed from Howard Heisler to the City in 1905. Once open space is gone, it is gone forever. This treasure was preserved and became the beauty it is today.
Monument Point lies pretty much in the center of this linear park. It is a memorial to the armed forces and the sacrifices made to defend freedom. There is also a section of the World Trade Center steel girder which visitors can touch and reflect upon.
The park has restrooms and is part of the Coastal Trail system (as displayed in the sidewalk's inserted medallions.

Great place to walk around - gardens, beach access, artsy sculptures and murals here and there. One could walk for an hour or two or just watch the water for a few minutes. Good bathroom access and felt like a very safe place to spend some time outdoors.

You must stop here in Laguna Beach. We spent 4 days in Laguna and I’m mad that I didn’t see this till our final day. It’s a gorgeous park with green space, pathways, and many spots to picnic, see the ocean, visit tide pools, and view the sunset. From the walkway or down at the tide pools we could observe surfers and huge waves crashing onto the rocks below. It was so peaceful. Must see! Street parking is metered. If you don’t find a spot at first, circle the area a time or two till something opens.

What a great park, some areas with statues and great views of the cliffs and ocean.
Easy walking for most areas, some picnic areas blocked off because of covid. would be a great place to have a picnic. Most people masked and free masks being given out.

A mile long walking path with lovely lush gardens and overlooking the cliffs and ocean. A lot of benches to appreciate the ocean or just sit on the sloped grass to enjoy the view. Has toilets available along the way. The north end of the park is where you can watch the sunset.

Stopped here for an hour on our drive down to San Diego. Parking is a small metered lot so you may have to circle around a few times to find a spot but people are always coming and going so spots open up. The views up and down the coast are beautiful and the steps down to the beach are great.

My wife & I wandered through Heisler Park & walked down to the beach by Diver's Cove during a day trip to Laguna Beach. Very impressed by the cleanliness of the grounds & the facilities (we always appreciate clean public restrooms); and the Park plantings & decorative features make for a pleasant place to relax. The ocean views from the Park walkways above the beach are beautiful. Thanks to Laguna Beach & its residents for this public treasure - and for affordable street parking.

This easy waking path leads you right to the water’s edge if you so choose. Many different spots to picnic or rest and just look at the amazing ocean waves. My family and I enjoyed going down the steps to the water and looking at the tide pools that are along this unique stretch of shoreline. We parked on Cliff drive north of where the path officially starts. It was free in this location. Many spaces along the route were taken and they had a meter. FYI.

My hubby and i love going here if we want to do some walking and fresh air. This park is well maintained. There are picnic areas for families, benches along the walking path for when you get tired and more importantly has many beautiful spots to just simply watch the ocean. Highly recommend this place to bring your visitors from out of state. Street parking and structure parking behind the restaurant rows are available. There are also parking lots far from the beach and just take the free trolley to go around Laguna beach.

Hi, from UK.
How do I reach this by public transport from Anaheim?
How do I get to San Diego from here too?
PUBLIC TRANSPORT - NO CAR. Thanks

Check local buses. It will be a convoluted route since any other city than NY is drive city most of the US unlike Europe. I'm really not sure because we always drive. Can probably combine with uber.

The walkways along the bluff are wheel chair navigable. Those leading down to the sand and water are not. I would say that a handicapped person will have lovely views of the rocks and waves and should not be deterred from visiting this attractive park. There are numerous handicapped parking spaces along the bluff.

Mentioned free trolley. more info please.
.
Written 7 February 2018
The website for this service shows:
"The free trolley runs daily from 9:30am-11:30pm, June 30 - September 3, 2017 (limited hours on July 4th). It will return to weekends only after September 3, operating Fridays 4pm-11pm, Saturdays 11am-11pm, Sundays 11am-8pm."
Saturday and Sunday, as you can see, offer the most hours and are peak times/days for visitors to get out and explore. If this info does not answer your questions, try doing an internet search for the Laguna Beach Free trolley.
We have taken it on many occasions and love that it runs up to the Ritz where the hiking/walking trails brought us up close and personal with such lovely scenery for no cost!
If we can help any further, send us a P.M. and we will do what we can to help. We ued to live in Laguna Beach for many years before fleeing California for paths less traveled (thankfully and happily).
Happy travels to you!
