Free Things to Do in Huntington Beach Central Park
Central Park is free to walk into, and a lot of what is inside costs nothing to enjoy. These are good places to start. Details like hours and fees can change, so check each page and the official source linked there before you go.
Huntington Beach Disc Golf Course
An 18-hole, par-54 course across a wooded section of the park. Bring your own discs and play at your own pace.
Exercise Course
Outdoor fitness stations along a trail, so a walk or jog can turn into a full workout.
Best Friend Dog Park
A designated off-leash area where dogs can run, and the easiest way to give a high-energy dog a good afternoon.
Urban Forest
A densely wooded section with shade and quiet walking paths, good on a warm day.
Thomas Ridley Bandstand
Seasonal concerts and community performances at the bandstand. See the event calendar for what is coming up.
