Anaheim Coves Park

Anaheim Coves Trail is a 26-acre nature park located along the Santa Ana River between Frontera Street and Ball Road in Anaheim, California. This scenic recreational area was developed through a collaborative effort involving the Orange County Water District, Orange County Flood Control District, and Southern California Edison.

The park features a 2.5-mile multi-use trail system that caters to various activities such as walking, jogging, and cycling. The trail is paved and accessible, making it suitable for visitors of all abilities. Along the path, users can enjoy views of the adjacent reservoir and observe local wildlife, including various bird species.

Anaheim Coves Trail incorporates educational elements throughout the park. Visitors can find interpretive signage providing information about the local ecosystem and native plant species. The landscaping consists entirely of vegetation native to the Santa Ana River Watershed, which has significantly increased the natural habitat area.

The park offers several amenities to enhance the visitor experience. Two staging areas, one at Lincoln Avenue and another at Ball Road, provide parking lots, restrooms, and drinking fountains. The Lincoln Avenue entrance also features a horse hitching post and water trough for equestrian visitors.

Anaheim Coves Trail includes fitness zones with outdoor exercise equipment, allowing visitors to incorporate strength training into their trail activities. For families, there's a nature play area called Explorer's Cove, which includes an archaeological dig site and a zipline.

Since its opening in 2011, Anaheim Coves Trail has become a popular destination for local residents and visitors alike, offering a peaceful natural environment within an urban setting.
