As a nanny, Camino Real Park is one of my absolute favorite parks in Ventura. I've taken multiple…read morekids here over the years, and it's such a great setup for families. What really sets this park apart is that it has three different playground areas, so kids of different ages always have something to do and don't get bored easily. The park is spacious, well maintained, and feels safe, which is huge when you're responsible for little ones. There's also a dog park and tennis courts, so it works for everyone--families, dog owners, and people just looking to be active. I love that it's easy to spend a long afternoon here without feeling cramped. Plenty of space to run around, sit, relax, and let kids burn off energy. It's one of those parks that's clearly designed with the community in mind. If you're a parent, nanny, or caregiver in Ventura, Camino Real Park is definitely a go-to spot.

As a nanny and a self-proclaimed hiking queen, Arroyo Verde Park has been one of my go-to outdoor…read morespots for about five years now. I've spent countless mornings and afternoons here hiking, clearing my head, and getting a great workout in while still enjoying nature. The trails are well maintained with multiple options, so you can keep it light or make it more challenging depending on your mood. The views are beautiful, especially in the early morning or at sunset, and it never feels overly crowded. It has a calm, local Ventura vibe that I really appreciate. I've also brought kids I nanny here for walks and fresh air (sticking to the easier areas), and it's such a great space to reset. One thing to note: when it's hot, be cautious of snakes on the trails--proper shoes and awareness are important. If you're looking for a reliable, scenic place to hike in Ventura that locals truly love, Arroyo Verde Park is a must.

First time visiting this park. It's like a mini valley where you have to large hillsides on each…read moreside. When you first drive it, it's a lot of grass and picnic tables. In the middle of the park is the toddler playground and then at the end of the park is the larger playground area for older children. There is lots of grass and a grass hillside. The highlight for me was the toddler playground. I work with children and often like to meet at parks to see their gross motor skills and work on them. This is one of the few parks left I have seen with sand. The park was very clean and even though there were many dogs off leash running around, pet owners were quite aware of where their dogs were and I didn't see any dog poop in the grass. You also can't beat that gorgeous ocean view. I came on a Friday late afternoon when they don't charge a park fee. Big plus!

If you are there to watch and support your child or someone else's, chances are that you'll crave a little snack. From corn dogs, nachos, hamburgers and chips, sodas and candy, this place will quiet down the rumbly in your tummy. Just don't expect first class, over the top, fancy snack bar. The fields are pretty well kept. With all that being said, it's not a fancy ball park or a fancy snack bar but it'll do. It's run by parents (and pony league families?), so all volunteering, if it's closed probably they had no one to run it. If all fails, there's an elotero (corn in the Cobb lady) that swings by at times

Not sure but I think it closed down (for a few years) due to unknown (to me) reasons. I'll ask the Host Ground Keepers later on. In any event, and be that as it may, a day at the beach, a Park, a Campground is always very invigorating- both for the body as well as the Spirit/Soul. McGrath has what are called "Loops"- three in all. Each "Loop" harbors campsites with varying degrees of greenery providing some semblance of privacy. My favorite spot (so far) is in the middle Loop (spot 47). If I recall correctly, any spot you choose has a wooden pick-nick (SIC) table, a metal drum on the ground- for log fires, a space to park your vehicle, and plenty of tent space. AMENITIES: Easy access to sheltered showers, Latrine, Refuse Bin and such. If I've left anything out, please feel free to write your own review and include my intended omissions. The Beach is gorgeous. It's on the Campgrounds to the Westside. Plenty of sand dunes and knolls to tire you out. Great Caution must be taken if you intend to go in the Ocean, for strong currents, big waves can wear you out pronto. There is plenty of little critters and birds flying around protecting their nests, so be considerate. If you see a nest (of any kind) LEAVE IT BE! THE NEST OCCUPANTS HAVE A RIGHT TO PRIVACY AS WELL. Wouldn't you think? Lastly (for now anyways), if you camp here, you may want to bring along some ANT repellant. That's 'ANT', not 'AUNT', that is. I may see you there some time, I hope!

Many families did not get what they paid for and were not told about it until the season was to have started already. Kids join to play and practice in their neighborhood with friends. Putting them as fillers in teams from different neighborhoods is a bad move that left my kid ignored at practices and treated differently because he isn't from around that neighborhood.
