Directions: Mile Square Park – Fountain Valley

Entry: Enter through the main gate off Euclid, then make a left into the first parking lot (Lot PA). Follow that lot to the next section and you’ll spot our cheerful set-up near the playground.

Restrooms: Clean, open restrooms are available near the start line.

🚗 Parking Info

Cost: Parking is $7.00 per car and yes — the rangers absolutely know you’re supposed to pay. Don’t test them… they’ve got ranger senses stronger than Santa’s sleigh radar.

Payment: You can pay cash or credit at the gate, but to keep the line moving and avoid getting side-eyed by a ranger in a festive hat… bring cash. It’s faster, easier, and keeps the jingle in your step.
