Corriganville Park — Attraction in Simi Valley

I wish to express a negative review regarding the public officials who gave a film crew permission to close down the park to the public on Memorial Day weekend 2022.

The park is also starting to give you a negative feeling about your safety. Seems like gang members are starting to hang out in the park and putting graffiti on rocks and the historic Santa Susanna bridge. The park is starting to get destroyed and public safety for families is getting more of a concern.

People walk their dogs not on a leash which is not safe for other people in the park, nor safe for small dogs that can be grabbed up by coyotes or mountain lions. When asking a dog owner with an aggressive dog to please put their dog on a leash I was threatened with hostility which I needed to de-escalate before I would had been violently attacked as a senior citizen. This park is getting very dangerous! Hopefully that was just a one time incident. It might be advisable to use the park with protection if by yourself.

Great place to hike on wide trails that allow for social distancing if you are worried with the pandemic situation. I would recommend doing some on line research on the entertainment history of the place before going. Always seems to be a safe family oriented place to hike. However, on a recent trip in April 2022 I have noticed some people are shamelessly carving words and hate crime swastikas on the sandstone rocks. Hopefully this will be addressed. Mountain bikers can be disrespectful towards hikers, at times making things unsafe. They should not be allowed, causing additional erosion and destruction of plants and habitat. The San Fernando Valley Relics Museum displays a visitor's map of the former theme park.

Recently made a return visit during the summer on a weekend to find it surprisingly not crowded even though the weather was cooler. The park seemed cleaned up a bit since last visit. Children's spiral maze seemed a little less maintained and growing more natural. It always seems a bit magical with people leaving toys or money in hiding for kids in the park. I hope this unofficial...

We love coming here to ride our e-bikes and hike. It's a beautiful place to go and check out all the various places that have been used in movies and TV shows. I have a personal interest because my grandfather starred as Lt. Rip Masters in The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin which was filmed all over this beautiful park. I wish my grandpa was still alive so he could tell me more stories about it. I need to get my mom to come with me one day so she can tell me what she remembers about going there and hanging out while my grandpa was filming. She's told me a bunch of stories over the years but I would love to get her perspective of how much has changed or what scenes were filmed in what location, etc.

It's a beautiful place to visit and there's trails for any age so you can bring the whole family. Plus....as you can see in my pics there's also a covered patio with BBQ's so you could have a nice place to have lunch if you want. We were grateful it was there when a bit of rain came pouring down in the middle of our ride. It was perfecting timing for us to take a little break anyway! Oh...and there's porta-potties conveniently close by the patio area including one extra large unit with wheelchair access!! AND....It has always had TP and seat covers every time I've used them....so that's a...

Corriganville, rich with history, and preserved for open space by the Rancho-Simi Parks and Recreation Department. With hearty towering oaks lining the level path from the parking lot to the 'Sherwood Forest' area to the east, the walk is pleasant and shady. Nestled among the chaparral and seasonal grasses, is poison oak, so be wary. You will cross a small bridge on your way, then immediate to the north of another bridge. This second bridge is over the old movie shooting chamber where cameras were positioned to shoot under water scenes. Continuing on through the widening trail, you will come to the improved area which can be rented by the RSRPD. Port a potties and water are available here. The trail continues north west around the mountain, where a large unimproved ampatheater was made for large gatherings. Climb the hill and branch of into the sprawling paths, explore the area as it has been for hundreds of years. To the South are remnants of Corriganville, a once lively Western amusement park. The only remains are foundations and a few walls. To the South again you are back at the parking lot. My family has been here many times for different functions as well as just to hike the area. Perfect for little ones as it is mostly flat, and there's...
