Being in Thousand Oaks with a mom and a little kid this week, we seek out public parks to spend some time in the afternoon to walk around, get some fresh air, people watch other kids and ground to the Earth.
The Conejo Creek Park area contains an equestrian park, a dog park, a community garden and also Waverly Park.
Now I am not certain how a local with more knowledge of the streets would find the proper parking lot for this park, but we drove to the dog park (because it was the paved entrance we found off of E. Avenida De Las Flores and walked West through the dirt lot of the community garden and through the fence to Waverly Park. In hindsight, you could park in community garden lot and walk through the fence there and same yourself a few minutes of walking.
This park is small and partially on a hill overlooking a baseball field, but is charming, quaint and so welcoming. At 5:15pm when we arrived, there was nobody there and that was surprising to me because it is a lovely park and the weather was nice. This park is either relatively new or recently renovated, because it has exercise equipment that looks barely used, swings that look barely used and many sturdy park benches throughout. There is a paved path that would take you around the entire little park if grass is not your thing to walk on or are pushing a stroller.
It has a public restroom, play equipment, dog relief station and trash cans.
We sat on the hill and watched the baseball game occurring in the distance. The mountains and hills in the distance are a beautiful backdrop to see. It was a lovely time in the charming park. read more
