Beautiful Neighborhood Parks in Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita Valley has an abundance of local Santa Clarita parks of all types and sizes. Some are large city parks, with playgrounds, baseball fields, soccer fields, swimming pool and recreation rooms. These large parks are quite nice, but the locals often prefer the smaller and less visited neighborhood parks. If you hope to buy a home in a neighborhood with a park nearby, we can help. As life long Santa Clarita residents and brokers, we have visited and enjoyed nearly every park in the area.
As included in the city master plan, here in Santa Clarita we have more local parks than ever before and some are are quite amazing. For instance, over in the Five Knolls community we have Golden Valley Park. It’s very large and features a terrific dog run section. It has separate fenced in sections for large and small dogs. Then, over in the River Village community we have Duane R. Harte Park. This one features an amazing trail system that travels through the natural preserved environment. In the Aliento community there is also a dog park and miles of trails which also take advantage of the nature. There are plenty more and they really are quite beautiful!
If you like nature and wildlife, check out the Valencia Summit Park, just behind the YMCA at the edge of the Valencia Summit community. The park is actually a trail head for an awesome wildlife hike that winds throughout the hills. It really is quite beautiful and certainly worth a visit.

Small Neighborhood Parks
The local neighborhood parks are usually accessible via the Santa Clarita trail systems and often are located adjacent to a school. The trail systems are gorgeous and there are unique pedestrian bridges enabling safe passage over busy streets. The smaller Santa Clarita parks won’t have swimming pools and recreation rooms, but they usually have plenty of shade trees, trails, small playgrounds, park benches and such. As an added plus, most, if not all parks come with well maintained restroom facilities.
Larger Santa Clarita City Parks
Some of the larger Santa Clarita parks have swimming pools and most have bathrooms. Other parks might have picnic tables, barbecue pits, playgrounds, ball fields a recreation room and more. One of the more popular larger city parks with a pool might be Santa Clarita Aquatics Park located on Seco Canyon Road in Saugus. Another larger park we really like is Canyon Country Park. It doesn’t have a pool, but it’s just gorgeous and a wonderful location for a picnic! Then, we love our old favorite, Old Orchard Park. It’s an older park located on Lyons Avenue in Newhall and the shade trees are just gorgeous!
Micro Neighborhood Parks
Located within many communities of Santa Clarita we have micro or mini parks. One of our favorites is Alemenda Park in the Sunrise community. There’s also Copperhill Park which consists of a greenbelt, jogging trail & restrooms. Pacific Crest park is just next door to Mountain View Elementary. These parks usually include walking paths or a track, and nice sized open lawn area, and a few park benches. Most don’t have bathrooms, so these parks are intended for only short visits and are not the ideal location for a picnic.
If you’d like to spend some time a one of our local parks, there are many to choose from. The small neighborhood parks are often hidden away deep within the neighborhoods. The best way to find them is to have a look at the city parks web page for more exact locations.
