Heritage Park

What a great park for kids! The playground is large and the castle/​play fort is great! Lots of parking available and animals like ducks, geese and turtles in the pond. Only downside is the ample amount of bird/​duck/​geese poop everywhere, but I guess that’s to be expected with that many animals around. Definitely a good place for kids to run around and play.

This was one of my favorite parks to visit when I was a little girl. Now it’s crazy that I’m bringing my own little kids to the same park. And to top it off, it’s really cool park; I didn’t know how lucky I was until I became a mom and searched high and low for good parks for my kids.
Surprisingly, Heritage Park is pretty much as it was when I was little girl– except for some improvements via the structures on the island and playground equipment. They keep the island and its buildings well-​maintained, so it’s safe for the kids. It’s a great place to play an ultimate game of hide and seek.
The playgrounds outside of the island are equally entertaining. There is a smaller play area aimed at the toddler age. There is one main play structure which most of the younger elementary, kindergarten, and preschool play on. And there is a third play structure aimed at all ages.
Another fav about this place for my kids is the turtles and the ducks… especially in the spring when the ducklings come out. Unfortunately, I see too many little kids, who are not being supervised, running after the poor chicks and ducks. The people who work at the park try their best to watch over the animals that live there– but it happens.
Lastly, if you like to snap a few photos, this is a great place to do it. From plants and animals to clouds and the sky at sunset, it’s a wonderful place to capture something beautiful.

Very nice park! It has a lake/​waterfalls, bridges, walking paths, play areas for kids, and a basketball court. The park is well manicured and has historic buildings turned into play stations for kids. The only negative thing about the park is that it gets overcrowded with people making it difficult to maneuver through, and there is a lot of duck poop on the sidewalks making it difficult to walk on without staring down at the ground in order to avoid it… but other than that I really like this park and it is located right across the street from the high school.

Great place to shoot for weddings and quinceaneras.

So… Came here based on Unilocal reviews and this park did not disappoint !! Huge playground with a lot of things to do. The water with the ducks and turtles was a nice touch to the whole layout of the park. The kids loved the house structures they could climb through and slide down. They didn’t want to leave. Would definitely come back here :)

An old Boston City playground! Despite horrible parking this park is beautiful. Small sand box for little ones, playgrounds are separate according to age groups. Clean and well kept!

best. park. ever. seriously it’s so spacious and I love the place! It probably must be packed on holidays and weekends!
Parking was pretty empty since I came on a Friday afternoon. But I know there were two parking lots. it seems like it’d be packed on weekends though!
The middle play area is so cute and so cool! There’s so much running around space for kids and lots of slides and obstacles and playgrounds for kids to play on. AND there’s a separate normal playground for kids! Definitely keeps the kids occupied while the adults do their own thing!
The pond water is really green/​turquoise… but there are a lot of ducks swimming around. But just be careful since kids can easily jump in.
Highly recommend this park for anyone! even for a date :) there’s lots of shade and lots of tables to sit and eat at. or you can come play softball on the huge field or play bball on the multiple courts they have! It’s a pretty clean park too.

One of the best parks in the area, located in front of Cerritos High School. This parks is very detailed and has an awesome pond with beautiful architecture. The park has basketball and baseball fields and plenty of free green grass to play football or soccer.
I visited this park yesterday to play basketball with a few of my friends. The basketball courts have recently been remodeled along with the nets and floor. They have a total of 4 basketball rims available, so you must come early to reserve your court.
The best feature of this park has to be the beautiful castle architecture and the pond. I’ve came here on multiple occasions for weeding and prom pictures. The pond and architecture makes a perfect background for special occasion pictures.
Overall, this park is great and consist of lots of cool features to bring the family. the people in the park are nice and they stick to themselves. The basketball courts get full after 6, so come early and reserve your court.

Amazing !!
Heritage park just may be my new favorite park in Orange County! All the little old fashioned buildings connect and inside is just a playa lace, there’s a awesome boat, cannons, 3 slides, and it’s a freakin island! then the park outside of it is just amazing it has the only carousel I’ve ever seen in Orange County (plastic of course, which is why it was broken and hopefully they fix it and don’t get rid of it), a bouncy airplane, and the best part was a miniature drum set up with about 10 different musical items on it! Worth the 30 minute drive to Cerritos from where I live, and the people were even friendly too. I went at a great time around 12 pm because I wouldn’t want to be here when it’s crowded! But a+ on the creativity and imagination behind the design of this wonderful park!

Trying to find a cool park for kids to play at today and came upon this one. It was really fun exploring, and is beautiful! Indoors and outdoors play set. It’s like an old Boston village, complete with cannons, ship, shops, etc. beautiful lake with ducks and swans (but not over run by them)

What a gem! We drove pretty far to see this place! It’s very cute! It’s a mini town of New England!
Very cute buildings… Little adventures in each buildings. Fun slides too!
Find hidden tunnels!!!
Clean park. Well maintained. There is even a boat! And you will see cute turtles hanging out at the pond.
Definitely a fun place to visit with the kids!
The structures were well thought out. Can’t wait to come here again with my kids!

This park is really cool! Came here today to let my daughter play for a little while. The park was really crowded, lots of birthday parties going on. But still a lot of stuff for the kids to do. She had a blast! This park had ducks and turtles cruising on the side in the pond. Pretty interesting how the water is green in the pond.

Such a beautiful park! Love coming here with the family. Perfect place to daze away hours exploring, playing, picnicking. There are ducks and adorable turtles galore. The play equipment is set up to look like historical little buildings it’s cute. Only drawback is at times it can be overrun with bbqs, parties, and quinceaneras. Also the parking lot is smaller than most and gets super overwhelmed when there’s big events.

I love this park! My parents use to bring me here when I was child, and has been my favorite park ever since. There’s a moat (filled with ducks, turtles, & fish) surrounding the center of the park, with many little futuristic playrooms. Besides the center, the park has a huge field, a baseball field, basketball courts, a playground, & picnic tables.
If you’re a parent looking to have an awesome time with your child, I would strongly suggest coming to this park. Perfect for all budgets, free!
The only cons: the High School across the street, & maintenance sometimes closes the center for cleaning. But if you go from 9:00 a. m — 1:30 p.m. Monday — Friday, or anytime on weekends, you should be good.

Awesome park! Visiting from out of town and found this on Unilocal.Several different play areas, moat, ducks, swings, free parking. When we pulled up the kids thought we were at Disneyland ;). Great place for kids to roam. Best part is the Boston Cobblershop and other historical façade buildings for kids (and adults) to explore. Think it was prom, as there were gobs of teens and their parents taking pictures at the park.

My favorite public park in Cerritos, Heritage Park has witnessed many a family BBQ, wedding/​quinceanera/​prom photo shoot & lazy outdoor picnic. Located across the street from Cerritos High & adjacent to the library, civic center & police station, Heritage Park has a little something for the entire family.
My favorite area — the Colonial Town Island
Surrounded by a moat filled with ducks, koi & turtles (unfortunately, people dump their unwanted fish & turtles here and at most bodies of fresh water), the island has an interconnected children’s jungle gym interspersed inside the mock Colonial buildings, including a ship with cannons at the ready. Caution — there is no barrier to keep kids from falling into the moat. I know, I was one of them. I remember going on a field trip from Mary Bragg Elementary to Heritage Park. Towards the end of the field trip, I happened to be throwing berries from the trees to the ducks & fell in halfway, bisecting me like a flukeworm. Half in the water, half not in the water. I quickly got out, showing the water isn’t very deep. Good times!
Other areas of interest are the basketball courts, baseball field & the other playground off the island. Both playgrounds have the safe bouncy rubber flooring, keeping kids safe from falls & from the idiots who would put razor blades in the sand.
During the summer, the City of Cerritos offers Concerts Under the Stars. Free musical entertainment for citizens and non-​citizens alike, with free kids activities like a bounce house and food available for a nominal fee from local businesses & Cerritos Gadabouts. It all culminates with the Patriot Day concert on ⁹⁄₁₁.
Parking is located at the lot on Bloomfield & in the residential area. When I park residentially, I head north on Bloomfield, hang a right on 183^rd, making the first right which leads to the park. After school hours, parking is also available at Cerritos High.
Parks are fun! And, Heritage Park is no exception. It’s a great place to take the young ones and enjoy some fresh air, away from video games, tablet computers & the funky cartoons that kids watch these days. I still don’t get SpongeBob Squarepants. Robotech, The Real Ghostbusters, Gummy Bears, Duck Tales, Garfield & Friends etc. — Now we’re talking! ;p
Highly recommend!

Cute park!!! Lots of grassy area that’s shaded. Innovative playground idea!
There’s a playground in the middle of a pound that’s filled with ducks, turtles, and a few pigeons, that greats you with a statue of Paul Revere at the entrance. The playground is themed to be around the time era of Paul Revere, with little «shops» and a «church» that had stairs, bridges, and slides in and out of the little «buildings.» The playground is big enough for adults to go into and isn’t too tight to run around with the kids in.
Kids not big enough for that kind of play? Don’t worry. There’s 3 smaller playgrounds that are more traditional and not too close to the pond.
There’s also a small baseball field, lots of grass, and plenty of shade. Pack a lunch and bring your family here for a picnic. It’s sure to be a good time.

Loved this park as a kid and it’s still just as great now.
I do miss how 20 years ago they let you climb the rocks and cross the small «lake» where the stream is.
They completed updated the «island» it’s still a great place to take your family or walk your dog. There’s a small parking lot off of Bloomfield across from the high school.

Brought my boyfriend to this cute park to celebrate our 18 month anniversary with a picnic.
ATMOSPHERE: Gorgeous park located in a safe, peaceful neighborhood. There’s a themed play structure area on an island as if there’s a moat surrounding a mini city. So adorable!!! This park is very scenic and it truly is a great spot for pictures or even an amateur photo shoot. We saw a few photo shoots going on. A girl in what looked like a giant, coral loofah was having her Quinceanera photo shoot with her family and friends. Another group of people were having a photo session with friends. The crowd is very diverse. You’ll see Asians, Caucasians, Hispanics, and Africans at the park. It’s beautiful. I love multi-​cultural settings.
PARKING: The parking lot is very small. Fortunately, there’s a lot of street parking available, so parking should not be an issue at all.
RETURN: I would definitely come back for another picnic with friends and family. And of course, to see the cute ducklings.

Of all the parks we have been to, this one is the best per the Mrs.
Pros:
1) Abundant parking.
2) Very safe play areas.
3) The island itself had the two play areas in the buildings. I would have never guessed from the outside.
4) Not only are there several species of ducks, there were abundant turtles in the pond too.
5) Cute little merry go around was a very good exercise for the older kids
6) There were 2 separate parties going on in the park, yet there was enough things to do for Ian at every point if interest at the park without having to wait for his turn.
Cons:
1) The pathway is narrow on the way to the open playground. Pond is not barricaded off.
2) Pond itself could be a little cleaner? But with as many ducks around, I guess it would be difficult to maintain.
