About the Location

Recreational Facilities

Tucked away near the corner of Gabrielino Drive and California Avenue, this charming park blends natural beauty with practical amenities that locals love. It's a quiet spot with plenty of space to stretch your legs and get some fresh air.

The park layout includes sports fields where you can get your game on. The soccer field comes equipped with two goal posts - fantastic for a casual match with friends, but don't expect professional-grade turf. There's also a basketball court waiting for you to show off your skills or just shoot around for fun.

Playground Area

The playground area is designed with safety in mind while still allowing kids to have fun. Little ones especially love the swings and the unique school bus structure (which replaced an older train feature) that sparks imagination and giggles. It's a nice spot for kids to play and enjoy themselves.

The park is generally clean and well-maintained, making it a nice place for families to spend time outdoors.

Unique Features

The park's hedge maze is an unexpected feature that both kids and adults might enjoy. It's a unique element that differentiates this park from others in the area.

There's no shortage of open areas where you can toss a frisbee, have a picnic, or just lie back and cloud-watch. Speaking of picnics, the picnic areas and grilling facilities make it easy to turn an ordinary afternoon into a special outdoor feast with friends and family.

Dog-Friendly Area

Four-legged family members aren't forgotten here. The park includes a dog park section that requires a key for entry, ensuring a secure environment where pups can socialize and play. If you're just passing through, the open spaces are well-suited for leashed walks with your canine companion.

Community Connection

Nestled within the University Hills community, this park represents a natural gathering place for neighbors to connect. You should note that Gabrielino Park is a private park specifically designated for University Hills residents.

The quiet neighborhood setting offers a nice break from daily routines. It's a simple green space where residents can gather or just enjoy some peace and quiet.
