Started my morning with a 1.2 mile hike at Ralph B. Clark Regional Park in Buena Park; a nearby park I’ve driven past and never visited until today.

The well marked dirt and sidewalk trails are dog friendly with lots of trees offering shady relief along the way.

Besides hiking trails, there’s picnic areas, tennis courts, baseball fields and a small lake that is stocked with fish you can catch and release. The museum, amphitheater and play equipment are closed off.

Discovering new parks to explore and open spaces where we can keep a safe distance from others has become a new pastime during the pandemic.

Hoping your day brings joy as we all adapt to a new way of living. Continue to be mindful, remain safe and stay informed.
