People don't do much reviews on parks. Why? I don't know. I have been to this park 4 times in the…read morepast. I truly like this park very much. It's close to home and offers a lot of activities to do. It has children's playground equipment, 2 basketball courts, 4 BIG, tennis courts, a dirt track, clean bathrooms, picnic area, nice spacious landscape and the most important, it's kept nice and clean. This park is one of my favorite parks in Studio City. They have recreation areas and can let you sign up for sports/classes that interests you. Recently, I had taken few classes with couple of their teachers/coaches and they are WONDERFUL! Earlier this morning I went to play tennis with one of my friends. Tennis is one of my favorite sports to watch and to play. We don't keep score. We just like to play and have fun. You can walk, jug, people walk their dogs, kids, they have picnic areas and do a lot of kids birthday parties.. or you can just simply sit in silence and enjoy nature, the sunlight and have a good, peaceful time. Private lot parking, or street nearby parking. They are closed on Sundays. Kind of weird, but it's their rules, not mine. That's when people usually spend time with their families. I am not going to dock a star for that since it meets all the other amenities & requirements.

Not squeaky clean, but a public restroom in LA. It's not Santa Clarita so don't expect much as far as newness and cleanliness. I would definitely come back if ever I am in the area and wanted to take a walk. It's near the freeway so it's not going to be peaceful, but if you're looking to get some steps in or place to lay on the grass and maybe read a book, this is a nice place. There is a solar-themed playground which is under repair right now. You'll find a large parking lot and parking along the perimeter. Not sure how busy it gets during the weekend or warmer weather. I would definitely return and like that it's not exposed to a major street.

I have been going to this park for so many years. When my son was 2 years old, I used to take him…read morethere like twice a week. He is almost 29 years old. Believe it or not, this park is not only for kids. I also love having fun in the sun or during twilight. It has so many different activities to do. I love to get on the swing, even slide on the slides and be a kid and be young at heart. It has a nice grass area with some workout equipment closer to the street. I have worked out in the past on those machines. You can jog, walk, walk your dogs and just chill and relax. I have also done yoga 2 or 3 times in the past. It is pretty big and beautiful. Nature is always beautiful to me. Nice trees, benches to sit and relax and eat a light meal or have a birthday party. I have seen families held birthday parties there so many times. It is a good getaway from home when you want to be alone or take your kids there to play. Plenty of parking on the streets to park your cars and just walk right into the park. Recently they have done a major and nice renovation to the playground and made it more durable and safe for the kids to play in the playground. Upgraded the place, structure and the ground surface. Which is a major PLUS FOR SAFETY!! Love this park and is so close to my house. I can even walk there. Also very CLEAN!! The reason I am giving 4 stars is that it has no bathrooms. I mean most parks have at least 1 or 2 bathrooms. Why doesn't this park have a restroom?? It is so IMPERATIVE to build a bathroom somewhere in the park!!! Where are we supposed to go when mother nature is calling us?? Doesn't matter whether you are a kid or an adult. When you got to go, you got to go. I could have given 3 stars, but since this park brings back a lot of good times and memories, I don't want to duck a star for that. If you build a BATHROOM/RESTROOM, my 4 stars will turn into 5 stars!! Think about the restroom situation and please do something about it.

Nice oasis in the middle of the city! There's a parking lot…read morenear the entrance which is a major plus. ColdwaterCanyon Park isn't your typical one, but it has easy hiking trails (connects to Fryman Canyon), benches and beautiful views. Another bonus is Tree People with their nice plants, picnic benches and clena restrooms. Sometimes I like to bring a book and read, relax, enjoy the peace (when not interrupted by leaf blower at some house in the hills). There are water fountains and a snack vending machine with healthier options. This is a great place to take a walk, exercise, hike, depending what you are in the mood for. The views are amazing and it's great to be surrended by nature, so many trees and birds (I have seen many blue birds around). Keep your music to yourself (bring those earbuds), there are many shady spots and cute flowers, depends on the season. Enjoyable spot in LA if you need to recharge, exercise, get away, be in the nature!

Today I took the path less traveled that leads to the main path at the center point, and it was intense but good. Highly recommend pants if you do that path. Views aren't spectacular but cool. No animals on our route today thankfully as there could've been snakes given the heat!

We got easy parking right in front of the playground on a Sunday at noon. The park was large and the playground was nice, tons of space for kids to run around, and structures to climb when the mood struck. Toby's parents took over a sizable area with picnic tables, where they set up a buffet lunch and, later, cake. My three-year-old will remember this party for the orange soda ("Why are you letting me drink this?"), but I appreciated the ample, well maintained neighborhood park. I'd recommend Valley Village Park for your recreational needs in this part of town.

Updating my review as I did come back to this park with my dog to attend the Larpbo pack walk this…read moreevening. The park is very beautiful with soft grass that seems well maintained and cut and there are zero foxtails which is a big plus. I can tell everyone respects the park as there's zero trash on the ground and everyone is picking up after their dogs. We did some excersizes with our dogs in the park and then we walked around the neighborhood and then back through the park along the nice dirt trail to end. Similarly to last time, again I noted ALLOT of off leash dogs. They seem well behaved but one did decide to run away from its owner and did a full circle around our pack and the owner was chasing it. This caused several dogs to react and get riled up and it really could have been an issue if that off leash dog had decided to run at any of us, thankfully it didn't, it was just happy to run in circles until its owner caught it. Overall despite this, these distractions were actually really helpful for practicing training with my dog, and she did amazingly. There were so many other distractions too such as loud cars or motorcycles and kids and people running or biking. I guess maybe my dog leveled up because it was a very successful walk! I was very happy today with the experience. All the people who live in the neighborhood next to this park are so lucky to be so close to such a beautiful and well maintained space.

I have been to many parks in my life, but this Moorpark Park is really NOT one of my favorites…read more It's somewhat safe to be there, not at night time. A lot of homeless, and weird people are around and staring at you and your children. Be cautious and careful. They usually have some events going on and recently attended a Mother's day type of an event where they sell all types of things. Mostly jewelry, artwork/sculptures and paintings. Some clothes too. The playground is safe for little children and the spongy floor is fun to play on. It is also safe if a child falls and will not hurt themselves. The park is full of squirrels and they can be dangerous at times. Watch out for them and your kids. The park is not well MAINTAINED!! A lot of trash is all around. Last but not least, they have NO BATHROOM! It's a bit of an issue for us and our children. Please, take the time and get some sort of a portable bathroom there. It shouldn't cost that much; and, consider the fact when people need to go, THEY NEED TO GO!!! No parking, and plenty of parking on the side streets. Take yourself and your kids to a better park.

What an amazing oasis in the middle of the SFV! I'm so glad this garden has reopened to the public…read more The grounds are beautiful and serene, and I really appreciate how they've integrated nature with sustainability by using reclaimed water to supply the garden's pond. We visited today and were lucky enough to catch a performance by the Taiko Project. Their performance honestly gave me chills! Love that they also talked about the history of taiko in Japan and US and they even had volunteers at the end of the show to try taiko drumming! There was also Kamishibai storytelling in the tea garden, which the kids really enjoyed. They also have Japanese Garden "I Spy" sheet for the kids to do and Clean Water Patrol activity book. This is def one of those low stress, high vibe activities that I highly recommend. Just a heads-up though, outside food and drinks aren't allowed inside, but water is ok. There are restrooms near the entrance as well as behind the tea garden. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for kids. We had such a relaxing afternoon and are already looking forward to coming back for more events at this little oasis.

It feels peaceful, well cared for, and instantly calming the moment you walk in. There is a small $5 admission fee, which honestly feels completely worth it, especially because it clearly helps keep the grounds so clean, beautiful, and well maintained. I brought my parents here while they were visiting, and they absolutely loved it. If you're lucky enough to visit during the right season, you may even catch the cherry blossoms, which make the whole experience even more special. There is also plenty of parking on site, which makes visiting easy. One thing to keep in mind is that they are closed on Sundays. Also, if you have extra time, Sepulveda Basin Lake is nearby and worth checking out as well. A lovely, serene spot that feels like a hidden gem in the Valley.

There are multiple areas to go and either hike, or hang out. Benches. A good parking lot. The small hike to the top of the canyon is gorgeous. Only about 15-20 minutes and the views are great. They have working bathrooms that aren't gross. It's not an extraordinary or fancy park or anything, but it's the perfect place to just be in nature. I'm looking forward to going back! Only bummer is it looks like there was a nature center that's been closed since 2023. It looked like it would've been cool. Same with the amphitheater.

Once you get there, it feels quiet and relaxing, almost like you're not in LA anymore. There are a lot of trails depending on what kind of walk you want, plus many picnic tables if you want to bring food and spend a few hours there. The main lake is beautiful, but my favorite part is the smaller pond with turtles, ducks, and huge koi fish. The animals are very used to people and come pretty close, which makes it really fun to watch. If you walk higher up near the fire station, the views are amazing. There's also an amphitheater and a small museum area that I still want to visit next time Everything feels clean and well maintained, including the restrooms, and they even have water for dogs if you come with your pet. Overall, it's just a really peaceful place with a calming atmosphere. Definitely recommend if you want a little nature escape without driving too far from the city.
