Wildflower Walk For All

Interpretive
Wildflower Walk For All

The heavy rains of winter have lifted and revealed a beautiful bouquet of California wildflowers. Join us for a casual stroll as we follow the flow of Santiago Creek through Irvine Park. Along the way, we will peruse the petals of some of our favorite blooms currently sprouting this spring season along with some of the year-round favorites.

The walk will begin at the Irvine Regional Park Nature Center and travel approximately 2 miles along paved walkways. This program is accessible for those with wheelchairs or other mobility devices.

Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is recommended.

Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian during the program and strollers are permitted. Sun protection, wearing sturdy footwear, and bringing water are strongly encouraged.

The program is free and parking is $3 per vehicle.
