Lovely park where dogs can run off leash. Clean and grassy with a well kept trail. Very little poison oak (only if you wander off the trail into the dryer areas) which is a big bonus for Montecito!

May 2023 there were a couple of fallen (or possibly purposely cut) trees blocking what seemed like the original pathway but then I noticed new paths going around the trees. Trail is easy level and short (might be challenging for smaller dogs). Earlier this year we had heavy rains so the grass is tall so pants and long sleeves and very sturdy shoes are recommended. Off leash ok inside park, ranch style fence at entrance that is right next to the road so I kept leash on until we were a good distance inside. Parking very limited. Enjoy!

Underwhelming, especially after looking at the other reviews! This "hike" most are referring to is a tiny loop that took me and my toy poodle about 10 minutes to complete (including pausing often to sniff). Two hawks were circling overhead as well which was cool but also intimidating for my tiny dog. The entrance was not inviting, just a field, I actually drove past it not realizing that it was the park. Very limited parking, maybe 3 cars can fit in the dirt pull out. Next time I drive out to a park, it will not be this one.

Meh... not much of a park, at least in summer. Mostly dried grass but better in the back. There are much better wooded areas nearby.

Wonderful park and dogs off leash doing dog things makes my heart soar.
