This park literally has everything. There are 2 different paths to walk around it. One is a soft dirt trail, while the other is a cement path. It has 2 bathroom locations at either ends of the park. It has a beautiful tribute to Veteran's and Soldiers who have lost their lives at different wars. There is a lake you can walk around with plenty of ducks to observe. It has tennis courts and Pickle ball courts. It has a nice workout area with different exercises explained. It even has a Free waterpark for the young kids to cool down. It has 3 Boce ball lanes to play on while the squirrels gawk at you from the trees. The parking lot is covered with trees if you want to sit in your car in the shade. There are historical statues and basketball courts on the other side of the park. Dogs are welcomed, and they have disposable placed randomly all over the park. They have a few picnic areas for big parties with outdoor grills.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families who want a single destination covering active play, nature walks, and sports in one trip. The splash pad draws the biggest crowds in summer and makes warm-weather visits especially worthwhile. Year-round the courts, trails, and playgrounds keep all ages occupied.

β€œI don’t visit Simi Valley very often, but whenever I do, I always make sure to stop by this park. I was there recently for a baby shower, but I’ve also been with my kids countless times. The park has plenty of parking and large open spaces where everyone can run around and burn off their energy. There are also several bathroom facilities, making it convenient for families. In the summer, when the heat kicks in, they have a splash pad to help stay cool, and there are always plenty of ducks to watch, adding a little extra joy to the experience.”

β€œHolding my 2 year old in my arms while he fell asleep under the water at the slash pad, from teaching the older one how to put his legs out to touch the sky, and back to touch me; back & forth on a swing. And the rocket ship with the bridge, steering it through space, traveling past plants and meteor showers; 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1….blast off, down the slide. Most of the Parents, Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles & their children have been nice and courteous which makes the overall playtime awesome!πŸ’•πŸ˜πŸ˜ŽπŸ€ͺ”

β€œLarge park with many facilities including playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, bocce ball, plyometric training area, and softball/baseball field. It even has a ball rental kiosk at the West side bathroom. Just keep an eye out for off leash dogs as some people can't follow rules and want to ruin things for everyone else.”
