Tucked within the "(thousand of) oaks forest" and a few hiking distance away from civilization is this oasis called "Old Meadow Park"! Very tranquil, somewhat isolated with lushes of greenery, and pocketful of picnic areas for many families to lounge around, relax and rejuvenate. It is also a kids friendly park. I believe, you may reserve for group events. Contact the local park ranger office for more detail. Have a nice relaxed expedition! read more

This is the cutest little park and all the employees here are so kind and patient and helpful. We have hosted many events here through school and our families always comment on how great the staff is and how the facility is clean and beautiful. We love Old Meadows! read more

This review is solely in reference to the magnificent landscapes and absolute beauty that make up the wonderful city of Thousand Oaks, California. Great park for photo opportunities. --------------------------------------------------- Back in November 2020, we decided to do a family photoshoot to capture some beautiful moments of a year we'd never forget. Our photographer friend picked Old Meadows Park for this particular shoot and we couldn't have picked a better location for the shots taken that are now proudly displayed on canvases in our home. Being a resident of Thousand Oaks for over 23 years now, I am still amazed by the parts of the city I still come across that have so much untapped serenity. On the day of the photoshoot, we drove through a residential neighborhood only to suddenly make our way down the long road that leads to this wonderful park surrounded by absolute nature. Once we parked, a variety of picturesque backdrops were available for us to choose and we utilized the different backgrounds to get all of the shots that we wanted. From the mighty Oak Trees that have such character and seem to tell their own story to the rustic and rural landscapes that make for the perfect background shot which seem to encompass everything that I love about this city. Other than the surrounding beauty from nature, this park has an area for children to play and of course lots of areas for photographers to capture that perfect picture. And apparently, we were not the only one that got the memo because I recall seeing multiple photographers with small groups of families all dressed up for their own family photoshoots. For those that live in or near Ventura County, I highly recommend this park for that next photoshoot with your loved ones. Recommend for Engagements photos, Maternity shoots, Graduation announcements or holiday family pictures. read more

Perfect park!! Love the variety and that it's clean, plus it's gated in which is great too! read more

This playground was amazing! Designed specifically as an inclusive playground and to promote sensory play, our kids had a great time. It was clean, bathrooms were accessible, and there were some different features that made it interesting! There were two areas with instruments, hammock-style swings, sand tables, equipment for younger kids and older kids. Just plain fun! read more

This park is absolutely amazing. It is probably best for under 10 but we all found things to do- kids and adults alike. There a lot of unusual pieces of equipment to keep kids occupied. There is a soft spongey cover under the equipment so kids don't have to worry about bark in their sandals. The whole Playground is fenced so you don't have to worry about little ones running off. Bathrooms are in an odd place-our of sight on the backside of a building away from the park. Easy parking. Very nicely maintained and clean. read more

What a great park! Not only is there a ton of shade, but this has sand, the soft surface under the structure areas, and tons of different options to climb or explore. No wood chips!!! Best part is that the park is completely fenced in! read more

Unspoken rule of mom, the best parks are the ones within walking or short car ride distance from your home. Well, here's the thing about this park. It is so amazing that I drive the FREEWAY for this park, I leave my HOMETOWN for this park! Are you clutching your pearls from the shock, because you totally should. This park is AMAZING. It's gated, has a soft rubbery ground flooring, tons of unique play equipment and actual honest to god clean bathrooms with changing tables! This is the holy grail of parks! The only downside is that it's filled with fancy moms who look cute so if you're like me and are rocking the homeless troll look when out with your children then step up your game here or thou shalt be judged. read more

Discovered this park for the first time today, and glad we came by. Lots of fun things to explore, enjoyed the seesaw, and plenty of shade & tables to sit at. Indoor community room to use too. read more

If you are a mom of toddlers, this is the park for you. Bathrooms are close, there is plenty of shade and sunshine and the best of all... THIS PARK IS FENCED. Like, completely fenced in. So, yes.... you can chat with a friend and let your little one wander. Plenty of parking. Saturday mornings can get a bit busy. This park is a must visit! read more

Love the field here, always flat, not bumpy and very well maintained. There is also a hike path on the upper portion of Old Meadow Park, it's very scenic and if you continue to the top, you can see the whole of TO, just about. Hike very uphill, and very narrow trails however. Also it is free if you are wondering. Wish they had more amenities like a swing or a slide, or maybe a basketball court, like Oakbrook Park does (Northern TO, near Erbes(?)) but oh well. read more

This is by far the best park in the area. All enclosed area so kids can run wild! Tables for picnic, restrooms (which are clean and flush!!) and even a sandy area for play. The area is at the end of a dead end neighborhood street but keep going and you will be so happy you did! Enjoy the shade here too! read more

We love this park. It has great shade, clean bathrooms, it is fully gated, there are 2 round picnic tables and plenty of fun things to do for the kiddos. Some of the sensory stations are very unique and my son always seems to enjoy something different each time we go. There aren't very many swings (3 I think) but I have yet to see a line since there are so many other things to do. read more

Merry-go-round, shade, soda machine, gated play area, benches. What more could you want? read more

Old Meadows Park - They have an honest-to-Rod merry-go-round, enclosed play-space, and bathrooms. - Parks Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Its look like old and sadly, I think if they rebuild this place it will be more even..

Really nice and beautiful park. There is tons of parking and gives me peace of mind because the entire park is fenced in! It's 3x bigger than most of the parks in the area and offers a lot of developmental play throughout the playground. My 18month old is still a little too small to enjoy it fully but I think we will be making frequent visits here for years to come. read more

I have checked most parks out in CV and this is the best so far.
