Oso Viejo Community Park

What a simply amazing place. We stumbled upon the park as we were doing the Oso Creek Trail hike. Love the community involvement that is so apparent in the art. The hike is an easy 3.2 mile loop that was filled with vibrant greenery.

We had a wonderful time at the Symphony last Saturday night. We didn't have to walk too far, even though the place was packed. We were reassured by the Security personnel all over the entire area. We even lucked up and found a bench to sit on to listen and watch the performance. We were there a couple of hours and had a great time.

We are planning on going back to walk on the many beautiful walking trails in the area.

Phenomenal location. It has just about everything, including baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts, kids' playground, meeting centers, outdoor gathering sites for small groups, not to mention pristine, bucolic, well-maintained walking/jogging paths through lush, idyllic greenery. Regular walks here will add years to your life, I wager.

Oso Viejo Community Park is a good spot to spend time with your kids, or grandkids. The coolest part of the playground is the massive slides. Two of the six slides are three levels high, and provide for an exciting ride. There is also a smaller section for younger kids. I enjoyed sitting in the shaded chairs and watching the kids play. The spot provided for a great view of the playground, so not to worry too much about loosing sight of them. There are nice paths which provide for a nice walk, and can be done with a stroller. There are mosaic art instillations, benches for rest or snacks, and a book to read. The pages of the book are spread along the path, which gave the kids excitement to keep moving to the next section. The kids also took some time to run around the field. Overall, a good time. For those that live nearby looking for fitness, there are also workout stations and a horseshoe pit, but as we passed it looked like people were playing bocce ball. I also found out that there is a small hedge maze we missed, so we will have to go back and check it out another day.

This is a nice, mainly shaded trail. Parking is easy and there are cool little stops along the trail that include artwork and greenery! Dogs are welcome on leash. The only thing is there have been a lot of coyote sightings so you just have to be alert/careful.
