Abundant community parks and local hiking trails
At the eastern edge of the neighborhood are the Newport Ridge Community Park and the adjacent Newport Coast Community Center. At the park, locals can find athletic facilities, including tennis, basketball and pickleball courts, paved walking paths, and playgrounds. The next-door community center offers recreational programs for all ages, an indoor gymnasium and two reservable rooms. Craig notes that the Newport Ridge Community Park is privately owned by the HOA and is separate from the Newport Coast Community Center. Between Newport Ridge and its neighboring communities are a handful of unpaved walking trails, such as the El Capitan Trail. Directly across the street from the neighborhood is Canyon Watch Park, which has additional trail options and a scenic lookout point.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
