Valencia Glen Park

Park Overview

Set in the heart of Valencia, this 7.1-acre community green offers a little something for everyone. Whether you're looking to break a sweat or simply find a peaceful spot to unwind, the park offers a mix of recreational facilities set among lush greenery.

The grounds offer a nice balance - well-kept grassy areas dotted with mature trees that provide shade on warm California days. Following a recent remodel, the park has evolved into a tranquil retreat right next to some lovely residential neighborhoods.

Swimming Facilities

A notable feature is the park's swimming pool. At 25 yards long with 5 lanes and reaching 9 feet at its deepest point, it's a legitimate swimming spot rather than just a splash zone. When summer temperatures climb, you'll find locals doing laps or simply cooling off in the pool.

Sports and Recreation

Got game? The park's full-sized basketball court is waiting for your next pickup match. Tennis enthusiasts will appreciate the lighted tennis courts that let you continue rallying even after the sun goes down.

The expansive grassy areas regularly host soccer practices and various other athletic activities, making this a go-to spot for both organized sports and impromptu games with friends.

Children's Play Area

The recently renovated playground is popular with the younger crowd, designed for kids from toddlers to pre-teens. Modern equipment offers both entertainment and a chance for kids to burn off that seemingly endless energy.

There's also a special swing designed for parents and children to enjoy together - useful when you want to join in rather than just watch from the sidelines.

Community Amenities

The park has a versatile community room, which hosts various activities including painting classes for people of all skill levels.

Scattered within the grounds, you'll come across picnic tables and BBQ areas excellent for everything from casual lunches to family gatherings. While not enormous, the picnic area is functional and suitable for small gatherings.

Facilities

Practical matters are well-handled here with clean restrooms available at two locations around the park. You'll also find drinking water accessible when you need to hydrate.

The park is dog-friendly, so your four-legged friends can join you for walks along the trails (just keep them leashed).

As part of Santa Clarita's park system, Valencia Glen is generally clean and well-maintained. The gates are open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM.
