Fairview Park mixes Costa Mesa trails with rare habitat care

Fairview Park is a 208-acre Costa Mesa park where public use, cultural resources, biological resources, vernal pools, and restoration planning all meet.

Fairview Park covers 208 acres in Costa Mesa. People use it for trails and open space. The park also has sensitive land that needs care.

The current master-plan update looks at culture, plants, wildlife, vernal pools, and park use. California State Parks also listed grant funding for three acres of vernal pool work and new signs.

Planning documents can change. Use them for the latest public plan, not as a finished promise. The steady lesson is simple: Fairview Park is both a local open space and a sensitive habitat place.
