I loved it! It's gorgeous, it's well taken care of, it's clean, and there are a bunch of different trails to explore! It has a little flora center and trail where you can learn about native plants, and cool tidbits about planets. I loved the monument; what it stands for, how much information was provided, and the way it was intentionally created. Really really RAD ART!!! 🤩🥰 There's a lot of parking, and it's a nice fishing hole!

Paseo Vista has quiet ponds, walking trails, plenty of shade trees, and paddle-boat rentals. I like to stroll with my Luna early morning, then have breakfast by the lake with my daughter, and sometimes we rent a kayak or paddleboard for an hour.

Quaint little dog park with benches and separate barricaded areas for dogs. Good dogs and people and small size!

Sometimes can smell just like other parts of the valley and dog trash can make it worse, other than that no complaints and think it’s a great park for dog walking, working out (great park to run the hills, steep enough but not far) and other activities. Can get nice sunsets too. Easy access. If you want to walk on the trail it goes over the 101 and it can provide a great view and more walking if your you want to stay close but do more than just the park. The weekends usually have a lot of activity in the field. The travel consists of small gravel and is real wide making it user friendly no matter the amount of people.
