One of my favorite places in OC has always been Gum Grove Park in Seal Beach, More of an undeveloped chunk of land/dumping ground/wetlands than a park, it backs up to Long Beach, LA County and the San Gaberial river. It Has traditionally been kind of sketchy and as kids we wern't really supposed to go up there unsupervised, but we would ride our bikes up there after school and build forts, bikeramps, treehouses, and sneak past the old barbwire and onto the Bixby property next to it. It is a glimpse of what this part of OC used to look like, 100 years ago. MAP

I also went to Gum Grove as a child. Our family used to have picnics there, at one time there was an old camp fire ring and picnic bench, it felt like you were in a campground. I still go there at times, bird and wildlife watching is great. Took a lot of photos, some which I've posted on my webpage at www.caopenspace.org/loscerritoswetlands.html and my pictures are scattered throughout the internet, including on the City of Seal Beach's Gum Grove Park webpage, free pics for anyone to use. It's a nice place and has much potential to be even better.
