The City’s 130 acre “crown jewel,” Central Park, is home to a variety of facilities including playing fields, baseball/softball diamonds, the City’s first community garden, Central Bark Dog Park, and a regional cross-country course providing a great location for the valley’s local high school and college athletes to train, and hold meets.
The 3.1-mile cross country trail is located within Central Park with convenient parking, and it has also proven to be a very popular location for casual day hiking, dog walking, and bike riding right in the center of town. A new addition to the course, the Central Park Trail, connects Central Park to Newhall Ranch Road.
An added bonus of hitting the trail is all of the breathtaking views you will encounter along the way. The City has also added a large staircase for those that want to climb during the workout. The exercise stairs are the newest addition to the park, with 172 steps.
Pro tip: Keep your eyes peeled as many visitors enjoy rock stacking along this trail. You may just come across a masterpiece!
