Barranca Vista Park — Attraction in Ventura

My kids love this park. And I love that they have such a large open grassy area on top of the playground equipment. It really let's the kids open up when running around. Other parents and kids are always so friendly at this park as well. I think in the many times we have gone we have only had one negative experience when a 8/9 year old was being rude to my [almost] 2year old because she didn't have a mask on. Her mother encouraged her daughter's behavior. So we had a little chat about bullying a barely turning toddler.

I cannot wait for that to be a...

Park is nice and the kids love going to it. My only complaint is the amount of junkies that like the lounge around here. Normally don't have any issues with them as they typically keep to themselves, but I have had two instances in particular that were alarming. One time some guy kept walking past my baby wagon and kept looking into it as he would walk by. When I noticed that he was trying to maneuver himself closer and closer to it I walked up and had to move it closer to where I was sitting and the guy left as soon as I did that. Another instance I was taking my daughter to the bathroom and I found a guy who was in the middle of overdosing from what was most likely heroin (based on his behavior afterwards). I had to call the police who quickly responded and factory reset the guy with some narcan. A daytime security patrol would...
