The lines crawl. You spend more time watching tubes float by than actually riding them. Kind of wild that a Season Fast Lane is basically on vacation the moment you walk through these gates. The staff is... interesting. Mostly younger employees. Nobody seemed in a hurry. Ride ops moved at the pace of a lazy river. You start wondering if they're getting paid by the hour. Oh wait.

We tried to get a locker and the scanners on the lockers were broke. So everyone had to use the kiosk. Problem 1. We got on a slide that was awesome. Perfectly dark. Short line but should have just stayed in that area because we got lost trying to find the entrances for many rides. There were no entrance signs or directory signs besides the first crossroads sign. The raft rides had no rafts so we had no idea where to wait when there were no lines. We decided to go to guest services and asked for a map and the kid working looked at me like he had never heard of a map for a theme park before. We then asked how to get on the slides directly behind his kiosk and he actually said "I dont know the park." ?!? Lol Their main food building had the longest line of the entire park and no coverings for the line as well. Just the hot sun. All of this was minor compared to the fact we waited in a line for a single person raft ride for an hour while people with "blue rafts" continually went on the ride over and over because they get to skip the lines...no where in my purchase of season passes or upgrades was I offered this option but paying as much as we did and watching people who paid $18 skip us was the sign it was time to leave. So we left. Do not recommend

The staircase was the first feature I noticed the first time I passed by at night. I could see something in the distance that resembled the Mulholland aqueduct cascading down the Newhall Pass near my home. So on this beautiful Wednesday evening, we headed to Central Park to "investigate" the lights at the back of the park. How cool! We arrived just as the late afternoon sun was descending o're the horizon and the clouds were moving from white to pink, to grey, to pink, to peach, to orange. Gorgeous! Perfect timing to see the beginning of the "River of Lights" that caught my eye. A beautiful array of 214 programmable lights that seem to "flow" in ever changing colors from the flag pole at the top of the exercise staircase down, down, down the 172 steps and into a main plaza, lined with benches and trees, to encircle a lovely 2025 art installation entitled "When Cloud Met A Cloud" by Sujin Lim. The overall effect is rain falling, cascading down and evaporating into the clouds to cycle again. It's so pretty! Along the plaza are educational displays from the SCV water Agency, highlighting the importance water has in our lives. It does INDEED resemble what we in the SFV see on the "other side" of these hills, as the aqueduct flows into our valley. I may not attempt this staircase walk anytime soon, but we did enjoy walking the forged trail around the park and seeing all the people - and lots of free parking! - utilizing this space. Signs are posted to remind you to watch for rattlesnakes, so hike with care. Cheers! "CC"

It's a great park, but if you're allergic to dogs, have trauma related to dogs, have little kids or…read moredogs who don't do well with other dogs, or want to get some exercise undisturbed, be prepared to deal with the many inconsiderate dog owners of the neighborhood who do not leash their dogs, use retractable leashes and effectively have no control over their dogs. The review from 2017 wasn't kidding. These dog owners see their dogs get increasingly agitated and still won't leash their dogs even after they give chase. Add to this the soccer moms and football dads with folded up chairs who block the pathway and its entry points and this park is truly not usable much of the time. People will stand, stationary, on the path and look right at you as you are walking, running, or biking, and not simply take one step so that you can get through. Better you roll an ankle than ask them to share. I've seen the fencing by the trees broken apart, bathroom stalls cracked, toilets made inoperable, even paper plates with food left directly on the paved path. It's a community park with no community feel. An alarming number of people are there for what they get from the park, and give nothing to maintaining it for all to enjoy. Considering how many arrive by car, it's likely many don't even live in the area, which isn't a problem in itself but they seem to forget that they are visitors and that other people wish to enjoy the park too. The migrant labor hired by the HOA (or city?) to keep the park as nice as it is must be invisible to them. If you go early enough in the morning, late enough in the evening, and can predict the sprinkler schedule, it's a good park with a gorgeous view, especially at sunrise and sunset. If you go on a sunny day, know that the playground recently had shades installed which is a nice addition, but there isn't much shade throughout the rest of the park, as it is a lot of open space. If you go pretty much any time between 8am-8pm, there's a likelihood you will encounter the problems I have brought up. 5/5 park 0/5 etiquette from visitors
