    Highly recommend this park. Nowadays it is very hard to find a clean park here in LA with zero homeless / ppl doing drugs everywhere! This park is super clean, private, and overall a great place to enjoy with your little ones, have picnics or do some outdoor exercises.

    Playground

    Calabasas certainly knows how to park! This playground is really lovely. Only downsides are that the little kids rubber ground is falling apart and they are doing a lot of construction nearby but it doesn't take away from this awesome equipment. They have make believe stables, huge bridges and slides, musical equipment, lots of things to climb, swings, and just a lot of area for kids to run around. 9 out of 10 would come again!

    Lagman's favorite playground!

    Brandon's Village..my kids favorite playground! The playground equipment offers a wide range of activities from monkey bars, slides, rock climbing, swings, rockers, sand, etc. The cool thing as well is that the play equipment is made to also accommodate children with disabilities. Very cool! Best part is that equipment are shaded. The park also houses tennis courts, a basketball court, barbecues, picnic areas, and open grass area. Great for spending a fun filled day at the park. Located in the Calabasas area, the park is surrounded by unique views of the quiet rolling hills of the Malibu Canyon area.

    Our son loves this shovel!

    Hands down best park ever been to with our 1 yr old and 2.5 yr old! Our son loved playing with the shovel and in the sand. Plenty of space to run around. Very clean and fresh. Amazing that a park like this is free and open to the public. The rolled bar slide was a huge favorite of our son as was the long ramps connecting to all the slides, and activities. The restrooms are clean and bright. There are tennis courts, soccer fields, baby swings, padded playground area, wheel chair and stroller friendly. And there's an ice cream truck well known by the kids who frequents the area (get ready for the obnoxious music that gets pumped out of that thing!) Love this place! Wish we had something like this near us where we live. We just happened upon this place while killing time waiting to meet family in the area.

    Family-friendly park 15 min drive from route 27. Two playgrounds (one for smaller kids), tennis and basketball court. Plenty of parking and green hills around.

    The best park around for miles! Beautiful park with a beautiful view! We love coming here as it has a playground for bigger kids and one for the smaller tots. You'll find a nice size parking lot, tennis courts, basketball courts, covered tables for pic Nic area and plenty of green ground. There is even a dog friendly side adjacent. Is always super clean and never fully crowded so easy for your family to come and enjoy their day! Just beware of coming during afternoon rush hour bc if you leave and try to hit the 101 South you might be stuck on a little traffic. But definitely worth the visit!

    Great park to take the kiddies. It's clean and there are lots of activities.

    I liked the variety of slides, climbing ladders, tunnels and the absence of lots of sand. There is a little sand for digging, but it's mostly soft ground. Beautiful park with lots of trees and a lovely view. Tables for picnics and grass for blankets.

    Beautiful play structure!!
    Esther S.

    This is by far our favorite park in the area! Whenever we are in town we come here to play. The park is always clean and the play structures have so many choices and challenges for my kids. I love that it is handicapped accessible. I love that children of all ages can access the structures. It was relaxing for me to sit on the benches and watch my kids. The benches were placed in a good location for great whole park visibility. Fantastic park!

    Great park!

    This has been my home away from home for as long back as I can remember. Basically, the park…read moreencompasses El Escorpion Canyon, a sparely wooded canyon on the south side of Castle Peak along El Escorpion creek, Castle Peak and its ridge, and Bell Canyon north of the peak along Bell Creek, all up to the Ventura County line. It is attached to the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve via El Escorpion Trail. There are a number of trails through the park, the best being the entire Castle Peak loop. There is a naming issue with this place. Basically, the two canyons are sometimes called separate parks. But recently Google maps has been showing them both as "Bell Canyon Park," and although I prefer El Escorpion Canyon, I'm willing to swallow my pride and call it all one park. Be careful throughout the park as there is lots of poison oak, bee hives, and rattlesnakes. You can also find some tarantulas and quail if you are lucky! While it is closed from dusk to dawn, this is an excellent place to go chill and look at the stars. Many a meteor shower was seen from these trails. Also look out for a sick BMX area. One of the best things about this park is that it is close to the city, yet remote. You can go out here and no one will usually bother you. But in recent years, that has been its downfall as well. More and more people are retreating out here, and there is a lot more graffiti and trash as of late. The Castle Peak Loop begins at the gate where Vanowen turns into Sunset Ridge. From there, you start hiking up the canyon. The first little part is often called Dog Shit Canyon cause of all the people who walk their dogs on this little part that is closest to suburbia. From there you head right across the creek and then straight up Castle Peak on the south side. Castle Peak is a tough hike. You can do it in less than 30 minutes if you know the terrain and are in good shape. Other than that, take it slow. There are 5 phases up this side of the peak. The first phase is kinda slippery and very steep. The second phase has this red soil and is a little more uneven than phase 1, if not as steep. Phase 3 is basically large rocks and gravel. Very slippery. Phase 4 is the section after the big white chalk part at the end of phase 3. It is rocky and has lots of smaller intersecting trails and is fairly solid. The last phase is the approach, where it gets even more rocky before you hit the top. From the top of Castle Peak is the best view of the west valley you'll find. Watch for different birds over the seasons. The swifts and the hummingbirds both do awesome dive bombs and are my favs. Then head west along the ridge. There, you will meet a fork in the trials. Head straight along the most traveled path and bear right until you end up on a very well maintained wide trail that goes down into Bell Canyon. This part ends at a little park with a baseball diamond and some picnic tables. Get some water at the park and then head down the trail along the creek, this one being Bell Creek, down to the horse trail. This horse trail along the suburban streets will take you back to the gate for the full loop. This can be done in reverse as well, duh. Interesting tidbit, where Bell Creek and El Escorpion Creek meet is the official start of the LA river. Check it out, and please help pick up any liter you see. Let's keep this park clean for future generations. Hope to see you there!

The trail…read moreloops in Bell Canyon take you West into El Escorpion Park and South into the larger Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve (a.k.a. Ahmanson Ranch) and provide miles of trails to walk, hike, and mountain bike among ancient oaks, mesas, caves, and chaparral. In the winter, the cooler temps make the breeze sing through the mesa along the Old Ranch Road trail. There are plenty of spots to stop for lunch, but please remember to pack your trash when you leave to keep it beautiful! Many hikers bring their leashed dogs through and the majority of trails are easy for young children as well. In the summer, don't forget your sun protection and plenty of water as there is very little to no shade on several trail loops. And of course, bring your camera for pics of your visit. I posted summer and winter pics so you can see the changes.

This property is Eco-Friendly with a solar energy system, Bio-Solutions septic system, and compostable toilets for Yurt Accommodations. The floors are beautiful acacia wood, walnut cabinetry & Calcutta marble details with Miele kitchen appliances. Morning, afternoon and evening yoga sessions included flow and meditation as well as pranayama breathing open to all levels. There was also a mysore style ashtanga yoga practice that was so beautiful. The yurt where we practiced is atop the hill next to the house that just elevated the entire experience. I would definitely come back here to recharge & renew and am ready to return year after year.

After taking my nephews baby bump photos a couple years ago we've been back a couple times to camp. Both experiences were wonderful. We were able to try out both sides of the campgrounds. Our most recent camping trip was in the middle of June. Weather was great in the 80's and we didn't really notice with the cool breeze passing by. Our spot was perfect! We had a giant tree giving us shade on our picnic table during the day and a big open field to gaze at the stars at night. We were just a short walk across the field to get to the restroom/showers. We stayed for 2 nights. Everyone there was very friendly and observed the quiet time at 10 pm. Will definitely be coming back again in the future! Only con is I wish that they would post the fire condition on the website so you can prepare before heading out on your trip. We brought some fire wood not knowing that the fire conditions were yellow. Tried calling before we left the house but no one answered the phone. Had we know. We would have brought more propane to cook with. They do sell fire wood at the campground, but that doesn't so anyone any good when fire conditions are high. The closest store is a bit far away so just come prepared for both conditions if you decide to come during summer.
