Atherwood Park

A Neighborhood Location

Tucked away in Simi Valley, California, Atherwood Park spreads across 6.3 acres of green tranquility. This charming neighborhood park offers a peaceful escape with its picturesque setting that locals have come to treasure.

The heart of the park features generous open grassy fields where you'll often spot everything from impromptu soccer games to families flying kites. That big central space has become something of a community gathering spot - great for tossing a frisbee or simply sprawling out with a good book.

What You'll Find Here

One of the nicest touches at Atherwood is the lighted walking path that loops around the grounds. This thoughtful feature means your evening stroll doesn't have to end when the sun goes down, but keep in mind that parts of the path do run alongside Alamo Street.

The park maintains a clean, well-kept appearance with plenty of trees dotting the landscape. These leafy giants offer welcome patches of shade on sunny California days. You'll also find several picnic tables scattered throughout - they're uncovered, but that just means you can enjoy those pleasant Simi Valley breezes while you eat.

Things to Do

No matter if you're looking to break a sweat or simply unwind in nature, Atherwood accommodates both energetic and leisurely visits.

Families will appreciate the good playground area complete with baby swings where little ones can burn off energy and make new friends. The thoughtful layout creates a space where everyone from toddlers to teens to adults can find their own kind of fun.

For the Dog Lovers

If you've got a four-legged family member, you're in luck - Atherwood Park is a hit with the dog-walking crowd. The open spaces and walking path make it an ideal spot to exercise your pup while getting some fresh air yourself.

Note that there are no restroom facilities available at the park, so it's best to plan your visit accordingly.
