Fountain Valley

Located within easy driving distance of Disneyland and several other major Southern California attractions, Fountain View can also claim some local points of interest. Mile Square Park has asphalt paths that allow cyclists and hikers access to all of its 640 acres. Two lakes in the park are stocked with bass, bluegill, carp and catfish. Every July the park hosts a five-day festival complete with carnival games, rides, live concerts, food and fireworks. The Fountain Valley Skating Center features roller skating on an old fashion wooden rink. The Fountain Valley Golf and Recreation Club is a family amusement park with a go-kart track, mini-golf course, kiddie big top, and a large video arcade. The Casa de Tortuga ("House of the Tortoises") is the private residence of Walter Allen, whose yard and aquariums house more than 500 turtles and tortoises. Also part of the complex is a network of pools and waterfalls comprising part of the tiny ecosystem for his collection.
