Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Murrieta

"You will feel like you have reached the top of the world when you arrive at this playground with breathtaking views of both the Pacific Ocean and Laguna Beach on one side and the far stretching valley of south Orange County on the other. The playground is nestled under some old oaks with a small bridge crossing a “creek” which is the only remnant from the old play equipment. The new structure has a climbing wall, slides, and swings that delight children."

"The playground here features climbing equipment, sand, swings, and nearby picnic tables. It is located in one of Laguna Beach's most popular parks, a hilltop gem in Laguna's Top of the World neighborhood. While your little one plays, you can enjoy spectacular views of Laguna Canyon, the Pacific Ocean, and north Laguna."

"One of the famous parks in Temecula, the Duck Pond Park, is a beautiful location with a petite pool and a memorial to war veterans. It is a peaceful place just to sit, relax and watch the ducks and turtle swim their way into the pool. The Park is famous amongst visitors of all age group and specifically for the variety of waterfowls enjoying in a family-friendly setting."

"Temecula Duck Pond and Park is an easily accessible urban park providing a laid-back environment to sit back and rest."

"As soon as my kids saw the rope nets of this new play structure, they were off and running to play “spiderman.” They created obstacle courses out of the steps, ropes, and nets that led around the play area. While they explored, I tried out the new exercise stations along the path that led up and around to a large soccer field at the top of the hill. I enjoyed the walking path that was bordered by California native plants and had views of the Pacific Ocean below and south Orange County on the other side."

"The 7-acre expanse in a quiet neighborhood high above the city is accessible only by steep, curving roads. Undeveloped, it has the feel of a wilderness park. Built on several levels of bluffs, it offers numerous aloes, broad lawns, overgrown bushes, shade trees, as well as ocean and mountain views."

"The Sam Hicks Monument Park is a small 1.8-acre park situated in Old Town Temecula right at the end of Front Street. The Park is filled with a lot of lush green shaded trees, a tall granite monument with names of 56 early pioneers and a small museum. Both the monument (made up of 150 tons block of white granite) and the museum are noted as historical and are craved for honouring the early settlers of the city."

"Located in the heart of historical Old Town Sam Hicks Monument Park, this quaint chapel has been meticulously restored...Read more and renovated to represent its early 1920's origin. The historic non-denominational chapel has a beautiful open beam ceiling, wooden pews, stained glass windows, and an organ for..."

"The Peltzer Pumpkin Farms is one of the top attractions in Temecula during Autumn. Aside from its pumpkins, it also features many engaging attractions."

"West Street Beach is another one of those must-see beaches in Laguna Beach. Access to the beach can be difficult to find as it is “hidden” between houses, and there is a long and steep stairway to the beach. Therefore, this beach does not get crowded like some of the other beaches."

"Popular with the gay and lesbian community, West Street Beach attracts a wide range of visitors to its clean sand and great waves. Body surfers like the spot. Access is via stairs at the foot of West Street."

"South of central Laguna, this beach has long been a hangout for Laguna's (and the OC's) LGBT community (with an emphasis on the G). The eye candy can be considerable."

"Located on the grounds of the five-star MONTAGE LAGUNA BEACH, TREASURE ISLAND is a pristine, oceanfront beach park, set right in the backyard of a beautiful resort. Set up your easel on the cliffs, picnic on the grassy bluffs, or access the sand via the southwestern corner for sunbathing and even skimboarding at its southernmost end."

"Treasure Island Park surrounds Montage Laguna Beach and is one of the most beautiful places to take a stroll in Laguna Beach. With sweeping views over TREASURE ISLAND BEACH, GOFF COVE and a long clear view north to Main Beach, there are endless photo ops to be found here. Try this one looking out over Treasure Island Beach."

"Treasure Island Park in Laguna Beach, Southern California, is one of the best places to visit in Laguna Beach. Treasure Island Park got its name from the movie Treasure Island which was videotaped in 1934 in the same place."

"Thanks to its off-the-beaten-path location, Wood’s Cove is a mostly local beach. Wood’s Cove isn’t a private beach, but it’s so hard to find that it draws mostly locals. To get here, follow Diamond Street to its end at Ocean Way, then take the steep staircase down to the sand."

"You can find stunning tide pools all along the coast of Laguna Beach, but the ones at Wood’s Cove are unique because they’re deep enough for swimming. Part of a rocky outcropping called Cactus Point—which is also home to Orange..."
