Joshua Hills Park

A Neighborhood Favorite

Situated on Fairfield Avenue off Via Del Rio, Joshua Hills Park is a 3.6-acre glimpse of tranquility in Palmdale's residential landscape. Since its development in 1989, this medium-sized park offers a peaceful retreat for locals looking to escape the daily grind without venturing far from home.

What You'll Find

The heart of the park is its expansive grassy area - great for throwing down a blanket for a picnic or organizing an impromptu soccer match with friends. If baseball or softball is more your style, there's plenty of room for that too.

Kids gravitate toward the playground with its swings and monkey bars set on a sandy surface. The tunnel is particularly popular with little explorers, who seem to never tire of the various play structures available.

For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, the park's walking paths wind through the grounds, offering a pleasant route for an afternoon stroll. Picnic tables are strategically placed around the play area, making it easy to keep an eye on the kids while enjoying a sandwich or snack.

Planning to make a day of it? The BBQ pits are available for those who want to grill up something tasty. And yes, there are restrooms on-site, but you might want to approach them with modest expectations.

The Vibe

What makes Joshua Hills special is its quiet, unassuming charm. The grounds are well-maintained - the City of Palmdale does a solid job keeping things clean and beautiful. Unlike some of the busier parks in the area, this one rarely feels crowded, giving you plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the friendly neighborhood atmosphere.

Since the park borders an elementary school, just be aware that parking (street-only) can get tight during school drop-off and pick-up times. Dog lovers will appreciate that four-legged friends are welcome, but they should remain leashed throughout your visit.

The park's integration into the residential area gives it a feeling of being part of the neighborhood - a place where locals gather to play, relax, and enjoy some greenery close to home.
