Page "Villa Park, California" Paragraph 2

Perhaps ironically, there are no public parks within the entire City Limits.

Many homes have pools or tennis courts, or both.

Unlike the urban areas of Orange County which are situated west of the City, Villa Park has winding streets and it is known for having a rural feel with few sidewalks and limited street lights.

Throughout the City are many trees and flowers located in planted medians and parkways that contribute to a rural, green-belt like ambiance.

Surrounded by the City of Orange, Villa Park appears as an enclave or " perforation " within the city of Orange.

This is due largely to the fact that Villa Park's early unwillingness to annex land beyond Santiago Creek, to annex the lands east of a Southern California Edison Power Line Easement that sat between the City of Villa Park and Anaheim Hills, eventually being annexed by the City of Orange.
