Peninsula Park

Waterfront Paradise

Located in Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, Peninsula Park is a cozy 2-acre waterfront location with plenty to offer. Right next to the Hampton Inn, this little park offers beautiful views of the marina and harbor channel.

Whether you're a local looking for a quick nature escape or a visitor exploring the area, the park provides a nice balance between peaceful relaxation and fun activities. Its prime location makes it super easy to find, and trust us, those harbor views never get old, no matter the season.

Wildlife Watching

One of the coolest things about Peninsula Park? The wildlife! Keep your eyes peeled for seals that often hang out in the harbor. Various waterfowl also call this area home, including ducks that can often be spotted around the park.

There's something mesmerizing about watching boats glide through the main channel while you sit back and soak in the harbor vibes. And if you happen to visit during a holiday celebration, this spot offers one of the best views of fireworks displays in the area.

Fun for Everyone

Got kids with energy to burn? The park features a playground with slides and swings for the little ones. It's especially great for elementary-aged children, however kids of all ages seem to find something to enjoy here.

If you're feeling a bit more active, grab a racket and head to the tennis courts for a friendly match with harbor views as your backdrop. On weekdays, you might catch some little league games happening, adding that wholesome community feel to the park.

Perfect Picnic Spot

When hunger strikes, you'll be glad to know the park is set up for proper outdoor dining with several picnic tables and BBQ pits ready for your use. It's an ideal setting for family gatherings or just hanging out with friends by the water.

Here's a little insider tip: the park has a small private beach area that many visitors don't know about. It's a quiet little sanctuary if you're looking for a more secluded spot to enjoy the waterfront vibes.

Get on the Water

Feel like exploring the harbor up close? Public docks make it easy to launch kayaks and paddleboards for a leisurely paddle around the harbor. If fishing is more your style, try your luck with some shoreline fishing right from the park.

Practical Stuff

When nature calls, clean restrooms are available down the sidewalk by the harbor. Just note that they close at night when the park does.

Bring Your Furry Friend

Your four-legged buddy is welcome here! The park is pretty popular with dog owners, but you'll want to keep your pup leashed. It's a great spot for both you and your dog to get some fresh air and maybe make a few new friends.

Good to Know

The park opens at 6AM and closes at 10PM, and no, you can't set up camp overnight (however tempting those views might be). While you're enjoying the park, please be mindful of the local duck residents - they were here first, after all.
