Max Berg Plaza Park

Nice views and good for walking.

This very small park serves as the outdoor recreation space for a large portion of neighborhood families that are living in rental housing without yards. It is very well maintained with a special shout out to the lady who polices the area for litter every evening. Since the city installed cameras, more lighting, and removed the high hedges, the area is much less hospitable to occasional gang activity. The structure at the center of the park, which replaced a water feature in the 1980's, serves no purpose, and it would be nice if it could be replaced. Also, a permanent area for volleyball and soccer practice would help protect the grass. I enjoy living near Max Berg Park and feel the city really gets its money's worth in use by the neighborhood community.

This was the biggest playground we found in San Clemente. We enjoyed the shade and polite neighbors.

I used to work at the park on weekends and holidays as a security officer and for the most part it was routine . Had some problem with skate boarders at times and loud boom boxes and yes it got messy with litter on weekends but a lot of families used the park for picnics and birthday parties and there were
a lot of informal soccer games. Overall a fairly decent little neighborhood park.

Park is great, surrounding neighborhood can be uncomfortable, however people who live right around the park are good! Lots of multi-cultural families right around the park. Can be dirty on weekends due to over usage. My kids grew up playing here and we're perfectly safe!
