Langenbeck Park is a runner's paradise. There's a paved path that stretches  the length of a park, scattered with picnic tables on green lawns.

Langenbeck Park
Garfield Avenue and Magnolia Street
Huntington Beach, CA

Langenbeck Park is an L-shaped greenbelt that sits under the right of way for power lines. Accessible from either Garfield Avenue or Magnolia Street, it contains a cement sidewalk that stretches the distance of the park, over half a mile from one end to the other. Runners pass by but don't normally stay and sit under the shade trees for picnics.  The park's most popular activities include jogging, bicycling and walking along the paved causeway. Curbside parking is available.

Situated in a pride-of-ownership neighborhood with well kept houses, Langenbeck Park is named for Vernon E. Langenbeck who served as mayor of Huntington Beach from 1950 to 1952. Directly across the street from the park on Magnolia Street is another public park, Talbert Park.

The City of Huntington Beach (California) is the caretaker and steward of the Huntington Beach public park system.
