Valencia Heritage Park — Attraction in Santa Clarita

Dreary, rainy winter of '23 and the photos/videos reflect it. Ok, this one. I can't say why with specificity but I'm simply unimpressed. I think, maybe, I'm becoming jaded by the volume of Parks in the SCV. There's nothing glaringly wrong with Heritage. Here's the good. Easy access to the San Francisquito Trail Paseo. It also has three well maintained tennis courts. Bathrooms are clean. There are two large fields for running around. Pavilion and numerous benches throughout the park. Charcoal grills. So, it's not a bad park. It is however right along Newhall Ranch Road, one of the busiest roads in Santa Clarita. Onr entrance and parking lot is off Newhall.

The park is still great with nice running and biking paths. I don't recommend walking into the wash trail paths at night as some folk like to sleep there and drink.

I never see anyone there...

Really cool park! Walking paseos go through the park connecting to the surrounding neighborhoods, ½ dozen concrete tables under roof cover (would be great for a party tables are all left to eachother next to playgrounds & bathrooms) 2 play area/jungle gyms w/ slides different activities, a few swings the coolest being a baby bucket switch with an attached regular swing so parents and can swing with their minis facing eachother roughly 2-4 fields for sports or to have a picnic, couple tennis courts & 1 bathroom building of course w/ separate male & female area with several stalls in each. People do walk dogs through here somewhat regularly in the evenings from...
