Arroyo Park

Natural Escape

Arroyo Park runs along the Arroyo Simi in Simi Valley, and it's the kind of place where you can take a deep breath and momentarily forget you're in the midst of suburban life. The park is actually part of the larger Arroyo Simi Greenway project - a collaborative effort between the City of Simi Valley and Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District that aims to preserve this natural corridor.

If you're into birds or just appreciate a bit of wilderness, you'll discover plenty to enjoy here. For over ten years, the park has served as a natural retreat within the urban landscape.

Paths & Play

The hiking trails here aren't intimidating - just pleasant paths that wind through the local landscape, fantastic for spotting native plants and wildlife. Whether you're up for a casual stroll, morning jog, or mountain bike ride, the trails accommodate all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts.

If you're feeling a bit more energetic, there's a basketball court waiting for your next game. And dog parents, rejoice - your furry friends are welcome here! You can find dog waste bags and trash cans conveniently placed near the playground, so there's no excuse not to clean up after your pup.

What You'll Find

Arroyo Park keeps things simple and family-oriented. It's not trying to be the biggest or flashiest park around - and that's part of its charm. The playground area features swings that are particularly well-suited for younger children, giving them a safe space to play and make friends.

Picnic tables dot the grounds, creating perfect spots for a family lunch or casual get-together with friends. There's plenty of grassy area to spread out a blanket for an impromptu picnic too. Just remember that you'll need to leave the BBQ at home, as there aren't any grills available here.
