This park is very simple it has some cool exercise equipment but it’s a very basic park with only a few benches and a big field of bushes and thorns and coyotes and ticks and fleas and it’s summertime you got to watch out cuz you’re in the jungle baby. The tujunga wash is a really cool place to hang out if you’re not afraid of you know things that live in the hills and at the base of these hills mostly coyotes raccoons skunks rabbits and on occasion a mountain lion or two and dear as well so don’t be stupid pay attention to your surroundings and go prepared you know carry a knife maybe if you’re going to go deep into the washer up onto the mountain. Just remember there are wild animals here. So keep your Head on a swivel. That said it’s very rare that a mountain lion attacks a person or a coyote attacks a person but it does happen so if you’re alone make sure you’ve got you know a big knife and the ability to defend yourself against the common predators including humans.
Nobody picks up their dog’s poo there. We found an old suitcase and carried garbage out of the creek. There were several people living along the creek bed. Ashamed because it’s really a beautiful location that people insist on destroying 😞
Oro Vista Park was recommended to us by a friend and it was spectacular. There is plenty of parking and it is easy to get to the trail head. You can go up the river or down. We went down the river and were very pleased with the life all over the river. There was plenty of ducks, birds, squirrels and all kinds of little critters. It is at the base of Angles Crest and a very nice hike.
We will be going back and doing the hike upstream next time.
Bring sun shade.
Bring water shoes, rocks hurt!
Important!!! Must purchase Parking voucher at 7 Eleven store NULL by the entrance.
If you bring a dog bring the leash.
It’s hot,dry and rocky in the parking, Enjoy.
Nice park with a few bars to exercise you can park here to start Ebey Trail.
