I don't visit Simi Valley very often, but whenever I do, I always make sure to stop by this park. I…read morewas 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.

Just wanted to update that the splash pad is currently up a running. It shuts down for one hour…read moredaily from 2p-3pm but operates 11a-7p (could be 10a but I haven't been out here that early) The playground has also been fixed for the longest time they had slides that were blocked off for being broken.

My daughters loves all of the different play equipment, from your traditional slides and swings to the zip lines and sports (there was a group of guys playing handball and they'd never seen it before but enjoyed watching). The biggest issue we had was that there wasn't a bathroom anywhere, so we had to make another stop before getting back on the road. It was a nice spot otherwise, tucked behind a quiet neighborhood.

If I were solely grading on the park itself it would be 5 stars for sure. The park is well planned…read moreout. There are multiple areas that can be enjoyed by different age groups. There are lots of mature trees for shade as well as plenty of open grass (though it's very hilly). The park has sand, jungle gyms for kids of various sizes, a handball court, a basketball court, benches and tables. My favorite part of the park is the zip lines that can totally be used by the average adult too . What I don't like: * It's right next to a freeway which gives me concerns about air quality. * I don't think that there's a bathroom (I wasn't looking for one, so there may be one but I didn't see it.) * There's a bridge to go from one side to the other. However if you have someone in a wheel chair there's a post that would keep them from being able to get through. * Parking can be a bit scarce. It's tucked in the middle of a neighborhood. So there isn't a parking lot or anything like that. Another thing of note, we have visited this park twice. The first time we visited people were friendly enough. This last time, I got some weird vibes from the people who were there. No one really said hello. Then my son was playing on the playground while I changed my daughter nearby and some kids came over. When we left, my son told me that the kids didn't want to play with him and threw some sand at him. Unfortunately he told me as we were leaving or I would've addressed the issue with the mothers. I get that kids will be kids and I know how to talk to my son about not taking things like this personally. But I think it's important to add as one of the big parts of bringing your child to the park is getting social interaction. Of course this will totally depend on who's there, so YMMV. No

We…read moredrive by it on Royal Avenue multiple times a week, so knew that it was there, but we'd never been there before last Saturday evening. Dear Hubby and I attended the Water Lantern Festival event there, thus experiencing the environment of the park for the first time. The first thing we found was a good-sized parking lot on the west side of the park grounds. Because the festival boasted food trucks to feed the guests, part of the parking lot was devoted to their space. We still had an easy time parking (for free). From there, we walked east past a soccer pitch toward the amphitheater / duck pond area where the festival was in full swing. I didn't realize that the park hosts live music during the summertime. With the natural bowl of the sloping lawn area it would be a nice place to listen to a concert. Bring a blanket, some lawn chairs, and a picnic, and you'd be all set. Am not sure of the restroom situation. The festival brought in porta-potties and free-standing sinks, which were plentiful. There may be actual flush toilets and fresh water sinks in the park, but I didn't see a building for same in the area where we spent time. The duck pond would be a great place to bring kids, but please leave bread at home. It's bad for the digestive system of water fowl. Signs announcing this are around the pond. I'd have to research what better alternatives there are, but bread is a no-no. This park is home to tennis and basketball courts, plus the community swimming pool, too. Centrally located in town and convenient for most residents, it's one of the pluses of living in suburbia to have spaces like this available to get outdoors and play.

Upon arrival, I came across a couple of people that just finished. They pointed me to the first hole which is right off the street but it's not well marked, except for the short cement launchpad. I've never seen them so short, but still, I'm glad they have them. This is a 12 hole disc golf course. Some holes aren't marked at all. Fortunately, I was able to ask a couple of friendly locals for help and I used an app called UDisc. Even then, I searched for a while to find several launch pads because they weren't marked. One hole had no launch pad at all, just a bent yellow marking pole. You'll need a good imagination to figure out where you should launch your disc from that one. I'm pretty sure the disc golf course is maintained by volunteers so I think they've done a terrific job laying out a great disc golf course and maintaining it as best as they can. Some of the drives are from on top of high hills that will give you chance at some really sweet, floaty drives and you get a great view to go with it. You'll get some decent cardio in walking amongst the hills. Bring a decent pair of shoes for trekking the hills. Unfortunately, there are some signs of vandalism here and there which is a total shame. Didn't expect to see that in Simi Valley. The weeds and brush aren't thick in the hilly part so losing a disc or having trouble locating it is highly unlikely on this course. Also, there's aren't too many trees to hinder your drives or approach shots. It plays pretty well. If you're a seasoned player you'll have plenty of opportunities for birdies and maybe even an ace! There's a nice big grass field to get some practice throws in before you start your round. FYI, there are no restrooms, so keep that in mind. It was a great experience. Definitely worth checking out if you're into disc golf.

So much history here with the old tv and movies that they used to film. At one point they had a watering hole set up to film underwater scenes and you can see the remnants of where they did it. The one main loop is very shaded which is nice, especially if you want to hike on a warmer day. They have beautiful rock formations with some caves. They also have park benches and picnic tables along the way to sit and rest and take in the beautiful scenery. I found a nice shaded picnic spot and had a surprise Mother's Day picnic with the trees and stream as a beautiful backdrop. My mom really enjoyed our day here. The only downfall is what it used to be. It's sad that a fire went through here and burned a lot of the set buildings they used to have . I wish I had seen it before that all happened. Too bad they didn't rebuild it.
