Barranca Vista Park

What You'll Find Here

Stretching across 8.74 acres, this lovely community park has something for just about everyone. Take a leisurely stroll along the walking path that winds through the grounds - it's mostly flat, so you won't have to worry about tackling any challenging hills during your walk.

If you're visiting with kids, you're in luck! There are two separate playground areas - a smaller one designed with the little ones (ages 2-6) in mind, and another for the bigger kids. Both areas come equipped with their own swings, and the ground is covered with sand to cushion any tumbles. For the more sports-minded visitors, the recently resurfaced basketball court and tennis courts are well-suited for shooting some hoops or playing a casual match.

Hanging Out & Getting Together

Looking for a spot to unwind or host a small gathering? Barranca Vista has you covered. You'll discover several picnic tables set on level ground with plenty of elbow room. Many of these areas come with BBQ grills, making this an ideal spot for a family cookout or casual lunch with friends.

The park also features well-maintained horseshoe pits. The park also offers generous stretches of grassy areas - both hilly and flat - spanning about 200 square yards. Perfect for tossing a frisbee, spreading out a picnic blanket, or simply lying back and watching the clouds drift by.

The Community Hub

The park includes the Barranca Vista Community Center, which offers various programs. The center hosts a variety of classes in theater, dance, music, art, and wellness. Regardless of whether you're a child, adult, or senior, there's likely a program that will catch your interest. Exercise classes are available for those interested in staying active.

Good to Know

The park maintains clean restrooms that are open whenever the park is (from dawn until dusk). Dog lovers will be happy to know that four-legged friends are welcome, however you'll need to clean up after them - it's just good park etiquette!

One of the park's charming touches is the free library book exchange boxes. There are separate ones for adults and children, so feel free to leave a book behind or pick up something new to read under the shade of a tree.

Planning Your Visit

You'll come across Barranca Vista Park along Ralston Street, making it easily accessible for locals. There's a small parking lot with free spaces for park visitors. One of the nicest things about this park is that it's rarely overcrowded - it's a favorite among neighborhood residents who appreciate its peaceful atmosphere.
