Huntington Central Park East

A nice urban park good for walks and or picnics with lots of trees for shade. It has a semi-manmade lake known as Talbert Lake, that originally was a natural sump in the 1960’s. The park was modeled to be like Central Park in New York City, so it’s shaped like a rectangle and has access points with parking on all sides. The Huntington Central Library is on its southside and there’s a playground and sports area next to that. The library is the best place to park for getting to the lakes. Another playground is on the park’s northside off Slater Ave. The parking lot for that playground is the second-most used after the library’s, because it also provides access to the park’s walkways. Run by the city of Huntington Beach.
