Gorgeous scenery and well-maintained facilities. Great place for a picnic, casual family gathering, or a short scenic hike!
Really cute park. Lots of places to walk the yes playgrounds are really cute. The hike is really steep but short and sweet. The gazebo was cozy and we had a snack
I came hoping for an easy to medium hike to great views from the Gazebo. The hike on a Sunday in late September was dry/dusty, mostly in the sun…I was the only person on the trail on the way up which was nice. At the top there is a gazebo and a plaque in memory of some firefighters who were injured and perished in a 1971 fire. The view is really just over the park and up the hillsides, nothing too spectacular or interesting.
The rest of the park has some nice looking play structures for kids and campsites. The restrooms were clean and stocked which was appreciated.
This park is amazing and has 4 different areas that can be reserved for groups up to 200 people. There is a dog park, playground, grills, common area, restrooms, a beautiful hike, plenty of parking and the drive to Toro Canyon is very scenic. No camping.
Beautiful scenes for our eyes. Peaceful environment close to the noisy city. A place to breath clean air and listen to nature.
