Always looking to get my steps in! This park has a great loop to walk around, concrete so not easy on your feet but green views. Tons of other walkers, runners and bicyclists. This park also has a pool, tons of fiends for sports and ample parking! We def enjoyed our walk! read more

I've watched it built and dirt tracks come back down and it's ok. The park. Needs an actually playground somewhere in that huge space. Add in to the aquatic center maybe ? read more

I do not have a problem with the Park as a whole. What I do have a problem with is the gates are not locked at night. The park has been a menace for late night motorcycles racing around the park, E-Bikes in packs racing and jumping landscape and causing havoc, drum solos at 11:00 pm, cars tearing up the place doing donuts late at night, and various other yelling and screaming events that go on well into the night. Those of that live next to it are sick of the nonsense. I have called PD non-emergency number and literally have been sitting in the park watching the show while a PD car drives in and then back out while it was going on and did nothing about it. There have been fires in the Barranca, fireworks set off late at night, and loud boom box car audio systems that vibrate our homes. I want to know why this is being allowed and why there is not security to monitor any of this and, the number one question is why are the gates not closed at night and locked??!!! read more

We came here for the autism Rocks car show .the setup was good. The park is very clean and having the cars and vendors in the parking lot was very well thought out plan. As a disabled person I could walk around and enjoy everything. read more

Love the feel of this community park compared to others on the east end. The park has a nice walking trail and easy access it to Kimball Road. Bring your dogs, ride your bike, blades or scooter. There is access for it all. The bathrooms are clean and readily available. There is appropriate lighting, plenty of parking and overall feels safe. read more

Came here for a soccer tournament, so soccer fields are the focus of my review. The walking/bike bath loop around the park is about 1.35 miles long (one lap), good place for kids to ride their bike. Unfortunately, for young kids, there is no play structures, swings, sand box, etc. The soccer pitches are in good condition and have nice green grass. They also have softball fields. They do have a pool area which is akin to a mini water park, check their webpage for the hours. During the summer, or on a hot day, the lines for the different slides can be long - WARNING. They have a few bathroom facilities, which I found to be clean. For soccer purposes, this is a good location. I suggest bringing a tent, or some type of shade protection, there are not any trees to provide shade for fans around the fields. Parking is not an issue, plenty of spaces. read more

Ventura Community Park - Go Ventura!  It gets hot, bring some type of tent (shade) and UV sunscreen. Cousin Bina rocks it. :) - Kids Activities Near Me - Ventura, California

Ventura Community Park is an awesome park in East Ventura. Our whole family enjoys it - from kids playing AYSO and club soccer, getting swimming lessons at the pool, to my wife and I swimming in their olympic-sized pool. There is a sidewalk around the perimeter that is about a mile long that people use for walking and jogging. What a treasure of a place to have for our community. read more

What a great park! Farmer's market on Thursday nights, a walking trail around the perimeter, and the whole salt water pool complex in the center! Plus multiple baseball diamonds, soccer fields... this place gets UTILIZED!! There is definitely wildlife here, I have heard tales of coyotes, so if walking your dog I would be alert. Convenient parking if the park is not in walking distance for you. Or I guess if you're using the pool. Great neighborhood resource! read more

The park is nice for running on flat ground, and except for one drive into the park, uninterrupted. The loop around the park is wide enough so bikes, couples walking holding hands, and people pushing strollers don't run into you. The park is nicely maintained -- grass always freshly cut and watered so it's dark green, but the path often has landmines from pets you might have to dodge. My daughter enjoys the pool there, a lot of room to watch while the kids take lessons. Parking is no problem, there always seems to be many open spots even on nice days. The bathrooms are also very clean...now it's just too bad they can't keep the sidewalks this clean. read more

This park has plenty of parking, an aquatic center, and lots of playing fields surrounded by the best part, a wide walking path. I have attended soccer matches and walked the path many times and had no trouble finding a parking spot even on a busy weekend. The only down side is the closeness of the walking path to the 126 freeway and the annoyingly long light to turn on to Kimball, the only way in and out. The area has a rural feel since it is not hemmed in by housing tracts. There is little shade which is good if you are trying to escape the fog, not so good on a hot day. The walking path joins one leading to the County center, so you can take a really long walk if you do not mind freeway noise. read more

Decent park with a community pool. I only go here to run the 1.35 mile lap around the park. The run is on concrete so be careful if you have bad knees or shins. The park itself is mostly used for soccer games on the weekends with no structures for the kids. The fellow park goers are friendly. Seems like everyone smiles and says "Hi". Park is also nicely maintained. read more

Kimball park is one of the nice highlights of this area. They have a bmx bike track, soccer fields, baseball fields, and a pool. Lots of youth competitive sports events are held here. There's also a great running path around the park, it's about 1.35 miles a lap. There's also a bike patch that goes all the way into the neighborhoods so you can keep the bike rides and running interesting. On Thursday nights, there's a organic farmer's market until 7PM. I try to stop by each week to get produce (various growers), tamales (Me Gusta Tamales), bbq ribs (Sunrise BBQ), cookies (Bakery Sixty-Five) and lots of other vendors. read more

Came here for a soccer tournament. The park is very beautiful with numerous soccer fields and baseball fields. It also has a pool with a small waterpark for the kids. There's plenty of parking for everyone. We brought our RV and there was still half a parking lot still available that never became occupied for all the activities that were going on. Out of all the places we have played, this park ranks as one of the top places. Look forward to coming back again in the future. read more

After moving to LA last year, oh how I miss this park! I got into running and since this place was a mile from my house, I could take the long way, run a lap or 2, and return home, making a 4-6 mile run depending on which route I ran. I never felt unsafe at this park. I even went to the water park once with my nephew and we had a blast! I hear it gets pretty busy, but we went on a Tuesday and didn't have any problems. read more

Great walking path with the exception of a few morons on bikes who don't understand it's a walking path and the bike trail is off the concrete which gets annoying when I take my son in his stroller with them speeding by. Aside from that it's a great park. I also take my dogs when I have free time and they love it... read more

Drove 3 hours for a soccer tournament at the Park. Based on the City stating that even though there was rain in the forecast, the park would remain open all weekend for the tournament. Played in the rain on a Saturday and at 10:30 at night the city closed the fields and cancelled the games for the following day. Kids disappointed and Parents frustrated for paying for hotel rooms that we did not need. Waste of time and money when they new rain was coming and still told us to show up. If ever a tournament at this park don't waste your money and time if there is going to be rain. read more

Im going to watch my nephews race the State Championship for the first time. So excited! read more

Lacks shade, lacks playground equipment, skatepark. Basically just a bunch of baseball/soccer fields with a very large construction equipment area that's supposed to be leased by the gas company but is used for tree trimming vehicle, RV, rock/dirt dumping, and porta potty storage. Lots of rent money for the city. Ridiculous that this is allowed in a residential area. It's also used for nighttime sleeping by vagrants because it's fenced off with cloth and easy for them to hide and sleep there instead of in the adjacent barranca. read more

Big community park, with 2 softball fields and many fields for soccer. Surrounding the park is a pathway that is almost 1.5 miles all the way around. Distance markers let you know how far you've walked. The park is open from just about sunrise until 9pm. It's also the home to the Ventura Aquatic Center. read more

Want to jog with ur dog away from cars? This park is a must, open until 9pm great for after work or a day off. there is a double sidewalk that encompasses the park that is 1.5 miles long. if you go u might even bump into bailey and me. read more

Good park, depending on what you're looking for. Very nice playing fields. There is a concrete walking path around the perimeter that is more than a mile long. No shade to speak of and a lot of freeway noise, unfortunately. I find it odd that, in such a large park, there is no play equipment. read more

The toddler swim lessons are a good value. The pool is warm, but the air is usually cool. There always seems to be a cold breeze blowing.

The walking/bike bath loop around the park is about 1.35 miles long (one lap)....there are fields to play on but no play structure for kids. The pool hours are pretty aweful-call first for the open pool hours! Overall, the lines to get into the pool are enough to send us to the beach. FRONT DESK IS VERY SLOW-even though we bought a pass-it takes almost an hour to get in the doors even if we get there early :( read more

They have great swimming lessons for kids. The pool and locker rooms are clean considering there are a lot of people that go to swim.

Great park for walking or biking with my kids. Park closes at 9pm. About 30% is still being developed. New fields and a playground (yay!) are scheduled to be completed by May 2015. Current amenities: pool, waterpark BMX, soccer, baseball. Parking is fine too, at least whenever we've been there (not for weekend game times). Farmers Market Thursday afternoons. read more

This park has been very, very appealing over the past 3 years; ever since I moved here from Canoga Park. I love being able to relax either morning or late afternoons. I feel safer now that they have fixed the walkway lights....only half of them were working for several months, so that was cause for concern. That problem has been taken care of over the weeks, and I am grateful for that. The only concern I still have is the fact that dogs are able to run loose, without their leashes, and I have STOPPED taking my little min-pins over there because of it. When I questioned the elderly gentlemen driving the Police Volunteer Van, they simply told me that every dog owner in Ventura thinks that there is on "Off The Leash" policy wherever they go. This is not true; signs are posted to keep you dog on a leash. In addition, over the past week I have noticed chalk reminders on the walk way to pick up after your dog. I wish I could shake the hand of the man or woman who came up with this idea. The park has a MAJOR dog poopy situation - I guess they feel if no one is looking then they can get away with it. That is the only thing that really disgusts me about this park, the lack of respect for others and not caring enough about your beloved pet. Other than the doggy situations, for which are definitely the owners responsibility, this place is just beautiful any time of day. read more
