French Park is a popular place to meet up with friends while you relax on a bench in the shade and appreciate the view. It's just a small triangle of grass and trees at the intersection of French, Minter, and Vance Streets, but it's a favorite destination among neighbors thanks to its anchoring position within Santa Ana's surrounding French Park neighborhood.

Despite its small size (don't plan on a baseball or soccer game when you visit!), French Park is part of Santa Ana's city system, so you can count on the same level of maintenance and care you expect at city parks. Use it as your home base the next time the surrounding neighborhood plans a historic homes tour of the stately homes along the street, or just stop by with a picnic lunch and a book any time you'd like to relax.
