    In Newhall, on the corner of Lyons and Avenida Rotella.
    John E.

    Old Orchard Park in Newhall. This park has its ups and downs it seems. The overall park seems okay. It provides a maintained baseball field - day use, no lights. Also you will find a lighted basketball court. Two kids play areas with your typical slides, swings and monkey bars. They all look maintained and clean. Picnic tables with charcoal BBQs are peppered all around near Lyons with mature trees to provide shade for the park. Plenty of trash cans and even restrooms. Pathways are lighted too for evening walking and security. Grass is patchy at places - drought maybe, probably not. There is also a community all purpose room used for various community and city programs. The YMCA and Santa Clarita use this for summer camp programs. The park atmosphere is where it can get sketchy. In the morning hours it is very peaceful. Older people walking around. People taking their lunch breaks. Families on the swings and running around. Nice! Just what you would do at the park. Relax and have fun. On pretty much every occasion I have gone here in the afternoon the park has had all sorts of visitors. Some of the morning type crowd, and then also several - mmmm lets say interesting folks sitting near the bushes drinking beer in paper bags. Now I'm not one to judge but it does become a little uncomfortable when there are dirty dressed men somewhat peering from the edges of the park with their bag of booze. Just kind of a weirdo vibe. I don't know maybe they are just relaxing in the shade or maybe they live there. Honestly it is unclear by the looks of it sometimes. Not one of my favorite parks to hang out in, but nice to have parks in the city.

    Park - #5/50 My goal…read morefor now til the end of the year is to review 50 parks. We frequent new parks and I hate when I can't find any updated photos for them so that's how I started my instagram @thatabcsquad to share. And now I'd like to contribute to Yelp as well. I've had my eyes on this park for a while now but whenever I would put it into Google Maps, it would say it's under construction so I didn't wanna haul three kids to a park that 'may' be closed (we live 40 mins away) But a friend passed by and saw it was open so we had to go check it out! We loved every second of it!! - huge fully shaded playground!! Three sections, bigger, middle and smaller. - BIG slides for those who love them! - lots of climbing and crawling areas - plenty of grassy space - baseball fields - shaded picnic tables - clean bathrooms - water fountains - parking lot close by to playground If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend this park!! We were told there's also a little nature trail too! We gotta check that out next time.

When we run errands, or go to lunch, we now look for a nearby neighborhood or park to explore. Today brought us to Valencia. When I searched for "largest park", Heritage appeared. After running errands and before dinner, we went walking. After parking in the large, free lot, we went towards the restrooms to prep for our hour long constitutional. We set a timer for 30 minutes and off we set towards the San Fransiquito Creek Trail along the northwest edge of the park. We had no idea how well paved, well marked and how, well...LONG this trail is! We walked for 30 minutes north, past homes and communities, then turned back before we could even see anywhere NEAR the end of the trail at Copper Hill Dr. Along the way we passed many a happy walker, jogger, puppy dog, and cyclists enjoying the final golden minutes of the day and this lovely area preserved for our recreation. By the time we returned to the actual park, soccer practice and flag football began occupying the fields. Many more youths had taken to the playground and a few adults had settled into the tables at the picnic area. As we left, we agreed it was a great walk and a beautiful location we look forward to traversing again, next time following the trail in the opposite direction. Cheers! "CC"

    What another beautiful and HUUUUUGE park in the SCV! Something for everyone here. Lots of great…read morehiking trails in the adjacent hills, many soccer fields, baseball/softball diamonds, basketball courts, Disc Golf, Community Gardens, TWO dog parks(small and large pups welcome to their own space) and for avid stairclimbers, who enjoy (???) walking actual stairs, a DEDICATED exercise staircase. The staircase was the first feature I noticed the first time I passed by at night. I could see something in the distance that resembled the Mulholland aqueduct cascading down the Newhall Pass near my home. So on this beautiful Wednesday evening, we headed to Central Park to "investigate" the lights at the back of the park. How cool! We arrived just as the late afternoon sun was descending o're the horizon and the clouds were moving from white to pink, to grey, to pink, to peach, to orange. Gorgeous! Perfect timing to see the beginning of the "River of Lights" that caught my eye. A beautiful array of 214 programmable lights that seem to "flow" in ever changing colors from the flag pole at the top of the exercise staircase down, down, down the 172 steps and into a main plaza, lined with benches and trees, to encircle a lovely 2025 art installation entitled "When Cloud Met A Cloud" by Sujin Lim. The overall effect is rain falling, cascading down and evaporating into the clouds to cycle again. It's so pretty! Along the plaza are educational displays from the SCV water Agency, highlighting the importance water has in our lives. It does INDEED resemble what we in the SFV see on the "other side" of these hills, as the aqueduct flows into our valley. I may not attempt this staircase walk anytime soon, but we did enjoy walking the forged trail around the park and seeing all the people - and lots of free parking! - utilizing this space. Signs are posted to remind you to watch for rattlesnakes, so hike with care. Cheers! "CC"

    It's a great park, but if you're allergic to dogs, have trauma related to dogs, have little kids or…read moredogs who don't do well with other dogs, or want to get some exercise undisturbed, be prepared to deal with the many inconsiderate dog owners of the neighborhood who do not leash their dogs, use retractable leashes and effectively have no control over their dogs. The review from 2017 wasn't kidding. These dog owners see their dogs get increasingly agitated and still won't leash their dogs even after they give chase. Add to this the soccer moms and football dads with folded up chairs who block the pathway and its entry points and this park is truly not usable much of the time. People will stand, stationary, on the path and look right at you as you are walking, running, or biking, and not simply take one step so that you can get through. Better you roll an ankle than ask them to share. I've seen the fencing by the trees broken apart, bathroom stalls cracked, toilets made inoperable, even paper plates with food left directly on the paved path. It's a community park with no community feel. An alarming number of people are there for what they get from the park, and give nothing to maintaining it for all to enjoy. Considering how many arrive by car, it's likely many don't even live in the area, which isn't a problem in itself but they seem to forget that they are visitors and that other people wish to enjoy the park too. The migrant labor hired by the HOA (or city?) to keep the park as nice as it is must be invisible to them. If you go early enough in the morning, late enough in the evening, and can predict the sprinkler schedule, it's a good park with a gorgeous view, especially at sunrise and sunset. If you go on a sunny day, know that the playground recently had shades installed which is a nice addition, but there isn't much shade throughout the rest of the park, as it is a lot of open space. If you go pretty much any time between 8am-8pm, there's a likelihood you will encounter the problems I have brought up. 5/5 park 0/5 etiquette from visitors
