Huge area ! Parking around on streets. Swings and slides for kids. Sand area as well . There's some shade around, so that's good for hot days. The grass isn't maintained that well. Fox tails around, not safe for dogs. No bathrooms. Water fountain works , tastes okay. read more

Lazy J. Ranch Park - Parks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A friend recommended this park for our doggy dates and honestly this is def a favorite. It's huge, clean, with the park establishment itself looking relatively new and modern. It is isolated in the residential area so there aren't many cars that pass through and parking is easy. It isn't entirely fenced all around, so dogs are meant to stay leashed (there are also several signs that state this). There are many dirt holes/mounds throughout the grassy area, so be mindful if you aren't wearing the right shoes. Also there are lil spiky balls that fall from trees so have ur pups be careful! Areas of suggestion for improvement: addition of park lights, doggy stations (e.g poop bags), stronger running water fountain read more

Small park and great for an hour play. In a safe area and with not many people. We also had lunch as there were tables.

Best place to teach your kids how to ride a bike. Super smooth sidewalk, with a teeny-tiny decline. Soft grass on both sides to fall on. Our street was too bumpy with tree roots lifting the sidewalk. If your street is the same, come to this park. My daughter was riding her bike within an hour. read more

A nice little neighborhood park with slides (one for smaller kids and one for bigger), sand pit, swings. A lot of parking all around on the street. However if you are planning a trip on a hot sunny day - the Toby umbrella on top of the slides doesn't provide enough shade and slides were very hot (the kids didn't want to slide down). Sand pit is located in the tree shade, so was the only place my daughter and a few other kids enjoyed. read more

Lazy J. Ranch Park - Play area - Parks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My friends who live in West Hills like to go here often. It is gigantic with a lot of grass. I like to park on the side where a lot of cars park on the street. There is a playground for older kids and a smaller one for the young ones which I like. There is an area in the center where the parents can just sit against, like a fountain without water. There's a lot of space where people put on their own events like a 5K. read more

A few words about Marcy Perron. Marcy grew up in the San Fernando Valley. She was an avid horsewoman since childhood and attended the "Lazy J Ranch Summer Camp" as a child. As an adult she had her own horses and taught horsemanship to youngsters for many years. Just prior to her death she had suggested that the newly constructed park on Valley Circle Boulevard at Ingomar be named Lazy J Ranch Park, as it was on the location of the old "Lazy J Ranch". There is a memorial to her memory at the entrance to the park. (see photos) Marcy was very active with the committee for the formation of West Hills in the 1980s. She was a co-founder of "The West Hills Property Owners Association" and served on it's first board of directors as chair of the membership committee from 1987 until the time of her death. Although she rarely mentioned it, her grandmother was silent screen movie actress Loretta Blake Deverich, and her grandfather was Nat Deverich, jockey, silent screen actor, director, and partner of the prestigious Hayward-Deverich Talent Agency. read more

Swings, an older kids playground and a younger kids. It's is well maintained and quiet. In a nice area and very clean but wet in the early morning. A lot of people walking with dogs but it's nice and shady. Parking is only street parking, whatever you can find. My son enjoyed eating the sand the most. read more

I award stars to parks mainly based on how the space serves its community. Except for a few picnic tables, Lazy J Ranch Park has no amenities except for kiddie play equipment and a large grassy area. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/y-Ib6h1puRb19UB0My5tog/l But there are views of the Chatsworth hills and I love this area. I thought it was West Hills, but no, it's Canoga Park. The park is located deep in an attractive, quiet residential neighborhood. I assume that's why there are no lighted ball fields, the homes are right next to the park. I almost bought a house next to this park, several years ago. I've often regretted making the decision not to buy that house. This is a beautiful area, hot in summer though. The entire park space is fenced, and there were a couple of families enjoying the kids playground on Labor Day. But mostly the park was empty, and the whole neighborhood was peaceful, no traffic. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/IoAHX9pZDza70mtzn1U68g/l I was far from the city, having a lovely adventure, on a beautiful day that didn't get away. read more

Lazy J. Ranch Park - Parks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Having four legged children requires two things...Walks and Food, and yes housing as well. I have two of them and they know their parks. They love this one! For one, its gated and two, there PLENTY of shade for them. There is room to walk around, and the people are great. I have not run into any insane, crazy, or mildly nuts individuals at this park. The dogs always get there groove on and the main mission is accomplished...GET THEM TIRED....Yes, they always have fun as well. For us two legged folk, they have great bike paths and running trails that you can take advantage of. So after that meal at the deli place down the street, come to the park, bring your two or four legged children, and get your run, bike, or both on! Great park in West Hills! read more

Quiet area, spacious park, many trees for shade and a picnic. Came here on an evening, laid a blanket out and had some snacks. Overall enjoyed this place. read more

Nice neighborhood park. Nice playground, and grass. Free running dogs with the masters telling they are harmless could get uncomfortable sometimes. Overall good place to relax daily. read more

Great neighborhood park with plenty of room for play! My kids and I often come to this park during the school day to lay on a blanket and get our studies done and love how quiet the park can be. Even though it is right next to Valley Circle, Lazy J is not busy and there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy an afternoon on the grass. I do have to take a star away for the lack of parking and absence of a bathroom. But, it is a neighborhood park, so most people walk here and can run home if needed for the potty. read more

There is a nice path around the whole path for young beginning bikers. New jungle gym is quite extensive and popular with the under 10 crowd. Sometimes, soccer practice or kids playing a pickup football game can be found on the nice grassy areas. Park is also popular with dog owners. read more

My most visited park in the SFV mainly because I live nearby, the dogs have lots of room to run around, and there's a nice walking path throughout. Plenty of grassy area used for soccer practice, picnic, parties, etc. There's not a whole lot of picnic benches, but that doesn't seem to deter people from bringing blankets to lay on the grass. You'll even find several mature and younger trees to provide just the right amount of shade you desire. It's nice that the entire thing is fenced in, but the speeders along Valley Circle are always worrisome. It would also be a bit quieter if those cars weren't zipping by all the time. But other than that, it's a clean and green park with lots of stuff for the dogs to sniff along the way. read more

Nice park, not too busy. I think it was remodeled recently. The kids love the playground and we also take our scooters here. There are two big grassy areas split by a walking path in the middle. read more

This is a beautiful, big park. Very clean. It's a little drive but so worth it to make the kids happy. Fun jungle gym and a lot of fresh green grass to run on. They also have a walk way around and in between the park to walk. Dogs are welcomed on leashes. They have a gate around the perimeter of the park. People are friendly and the kids seem to play nice while we are there. read more

Been taking the kid's here since they were young. Playground is nice but the people here seem a little snobby. I practice Soccer here now and the fields have gotten really bad. Full of gopher holes and getting dangerous for the kid's. Pretty safe area but the cars on Valley Circle are going way too fast. read more

I love that they updated the playground! Handicap friendly is always a plus! Playground is shaded as well. I like how they kept a portion of sand too. read more

Great park but no bathrooms. We get there and play for hours or just 30 minutes depending on when the first kid needs to use the bathroom. A seriously great park with play structures and lots of grass but the need to leave as soon as someone needs to go to the bathroom makes it a tough park to go to. Dogs welcome and are everywhere. The park is also very safe and patrolled often. read more

As I live not far from this park I look for any possibility to ride my bike or to go for a walk in my free time. I like to spend time on fresh, it's calming me down. This park is very nice and clean, but unfortunately it's too small for cycle rides. However it's good for walking and doing some training on the grass. Lovely place. read more

My kids really love the new play structures recently put in this park. The new umbrellas and the old trees provide good shade too. Love this park! read more

This park is fairly large with a lot of open space. It is fenced all around. They have a jungle gym for kids and a few benches throughout the park, but with all the open space, I think this park is really good for people with dogs. read more

One of the best parks I've ever been to. They have a very long trail for Sunday morning strolls or bike rides, two playgrounds, tons and tons of nice grass for sports, a few trees for shade, and an overall peaceful and bright atmosphere. It does not have a basketball court or restroom facilities. read more

Love this park. Great place for the kids nice and quiet. Plenty of grass so you can play sports or just relax while the kids play

Nice local park. in WEST HILLS. Plenty of shade and lots of grass area to play on. There is also nice hard scaping for the kids to ride bikes on. We have always had a great time at the park with lots of kids to play with. read more

This is a fairly nice park with a large grassy area. There's also a nice "bike path" that the kids love. The only I don't like is that it is bordered on one side by Valley Circle Blvd. While this street isn't extremely busy, it's still a main thorough fair for the west valley. I usually prefer to go to Taxco Trails Park nearby. read more

Big Park - Has a great playground. Parking is on the street which can be really busy and the cars go fast - so be careful with the kids. The park has a fence surrounding it. Overall good park. read more

Nice neighborhood park. Brand new play equipment for the kids. Suggest keeping dogs on a leash, citations are given if caught off leash.

My family's favorite park! The only reason I knocked off a star is because it has no restrooms, good thing we live nearby . It's beautiful and just got revamped. So spacious, quiet and clean! There is also a Pokemon Go pokestop for those that play.. Lol read more

A nice place to have a picnic or small summer gathering. I suggest the park for your her kids on the jungle gym or if you want to take a nice walk around the park. Dogs are allowed there as long as you keep them on a leash. If you take your animal off of its leash you will get a ticket for $100 or more dollars. Otherwise it's a nice park read more

A nice, quiet, clean park with good playground equipment for kids, picnic benches and some shade trees. Has a paved path through it and side walks around. Drinking fountain but no restroom. read more
