Central Park — Attraction in Santa Clarita

It’s huge and gorgeous even in winter when the trees are bare. However, there’s only 1 bathroom for this park that is many blocks in all directions. We stopped at Stawberry Fields- a monument for John Lennon who was killed across the street from it in front of his apartment building. Walked for a bit near the lake. We had lunch from a food cart- nothing spectacular and I recommend avoiding them because they’re expensive and not very good. I have seen so many movies with bicycle and horse drawn carriages and thought it would be cool to hire one to take us around the park. Nope. Not for $4.99-14.99 per MINUTE for the bicycle drawn carriage. I asked about a flat rate to go from the American Museum of Natural History to the Guggenheim. One guy wanted $35 and the other wanted $55. That’s for about ½ mile. No idea how much the horse drawn carriage is because none were around. If you visit you must go during daylight hours- too...

Love this park! I take my dog every day and he gets so excited when we pull up. As do I. It's clean. It's green. It's open. It's family friendly. My man says it reminds him of back home in Austin, Texas.

I have to say, however, that dogs-off-leashes is less common here than at Canyon Country Park. It's further away from my house but is much better maintained and safer for myself and my dog. Which is surely what everyone wants when taking their...

I went to the Boots & Brews Country music festival held here and let me tell you it was so fun! They had about 6 artists performing at the concert and they also had a huge variety of food available and a ton of vendors selling their wares. They had a big dance floor section and a little rodeo area too. This is the 3rd time I've gone to this festival and it just gets more fun everytime!! The tickets were only $40 too and for kids under 10 it was free. They may have had a lot of beer available but it was still a family friendly place. They had great security too which is always a plus! Seriously though, this festival is held every June in Santa Clarita and if you ever get the chance, I highly recommend going! You...
