Fountain Valley is a city that has no beach within its borders but is located next door to Huntington Beach, thus enjoying a similar lifestyle to its neighbors. Soft industries such as Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Kingston Technologies, Inc., plus a focus on education and sports make this a highly desirable place to live and raise a family. Award winning schools where gifted and special needs youth both excel, plus sports programs and a world class health club, Los Caballeros, make Fountain Valley a popular and much visited spot.  For those visiting the beaches, you may pass through Fountain Valley without even knowing.  We recommend you enjoy its many offerings of popular chain restaurants, value shopping at TJ Maxx, Costco, Sam's Club and Pottery Plus, to name a few and sports venues with golf, miniature golf and Mile Square Park. 

Heritage Park behind the Civic Center Complex near Slater and Brookhurst Streets is a collection of historic buildings placed in a lush setting for special events and social functions.  In a city where grade schools take on the names of community founders, historic buildings and landmarks scattered throughout town bring an awareness that not all is lost or forgotten to time. Fountain Valley Historical Society is compiling a list of historic sites which will be posted as soon as it is available. Fountain Valley is a sports Mecca, as well. Bullwinkle's features miniature golf, batting cages, bumper boats and a carnival ride.
