At this park you will find playgrounds, a covered picnic area, a basketball court and horseback riding area. There is also plenty of grass to run about or take in a picnic while enjoying the mountains! For me, this park is the entrance to a great little hike, called Coyote trail located within the southwest portion of the park. This trail is a 4.4 mile loop that can be considered a moderately challenging route due to some elevation points. The hike provides the opportunity to see wildlife- coyotes, owls, hawks, frogs and more. Plus beautiful sunsets over the reservoir in the distance. During the summertime, this trail can get quite hot as most of the trail is not shaded. Bring plenty of water during these times. Also there are no bathrooms at this park. Be prepared for this! As for parking, there is plenty of street parking along the park and within the neighborhood. Just be respectful of the residence in this area. Happy Hiking!

Another mom told me about Coyote Hills park and how great it is - and after visiting a few times,…read moreand literally not having my toddler shut up about it I have to agree - Coyote Hills park is great. First of all, it is set in the most beautiful of neighborhoods - the kind of neighborhood that looks like a studio backlot, it is picture perfect. The houses are beautiful and I could just spend all day staring at them and dreaming. Secondly, the park is great - tons of lush green field for kids (or dogs) to run around in, BBQs, covered picnic tables, the scenic backdrop of an equestrian trail behind the park, and two playgrounds that are super close in proximity (a "big kids" one and a "toddler" one.) As of current writing (11-28-2020) the big kids playground does have 2 broken (and boarded up) slides - however the main attraction - the giant swirly slide is still in fine working order. There is tons to climb, tons to swing on (two sets of swings - 4 for bigger kids and 2 for babies/toddlers), and tons of space to run around in. So why four stars and not the perfect five? Well, as the mom of a toddler I automatically reserve five star reviews for parks and playgrounds that have everything - and the one thing that seems to be missing here (I haven't found any) are restrooms - other than that this park would be perfect.

And generally speaking, it's pretty tranquil. On Wednesdays, though they do have the lawnmower people so avoid it then. You also have a great view of a baseball field, and there is a green grass field at the bottom that is relatively flat, though the ground squirrels have done their job by making it not very flat. Is also bridal trail that you can use as a walking trail. I actually hope they install a basketball court where the flat grassy area is because it's never used.

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.

We recently rented Pavilion A at Oak Canyon Community Park for our daughter's 4th birthday splash…read moreparty, specifically because of its proximity to the splash pad. The park itself is beautiful and clean, which is why we felt confident booking it for such an important celebration. Unfortunately, shortly after our event began, the splash pad stopped working and remained off for the duration of our rental. This was the main activity for approximately 20 children in attendance. While a park ranger attempted to assist, there was ultimately no resolution. What was especially disappointing was the lack of urgency and care from park staff. There was no real apology or effort to make the situation right. We had to go through hoops just to get someone on the phone, which was frustrating in the middle of hosting a children's party. If pavilions are being rented out for private events, you would expect someone to be readily available to assist renters when issues arise. Additionally, we were told at booking that Pavilion B was already reserved and that inflatables were only permitted in that space. However, Pavilion B remained empty the entire time. Had we known, we would have booked that pavilion or adjusted our plans to include a bounce house to make up for the loss of the splash pad. While the park grounds are well maintained, the lack of communication, unavailable amenity, and absence of real-time support made what should have been a joyful day unnecessarily stressful. I hope improvements are made so other families do not have a similar experience.
