Confirmed from Vista del Valle Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Straightforward 9.7-acre park featuring a gazebo & decomposed granite paths for hiking & walking.
What runners say about Vista del Valle Park
“During summer this park is very much inviting because of the trees and they keep the place really clean and green.”
“Nice picnic and shaded areas, although some of the playground equipment was broken.”
“This is a very peaceful spot and the park is positioned high up which means you get a good view of the LA area and can even see the Skyline on clear days.”
“Not a dog park per se but they can be walked on leashes.”
I love this park which is part of my childhood. I remember when my parents used to take me and my sister to Vista del Valle Park where we got to walk around, roll down the hills, and just have fun back in the old days. Plus, you can see the view of La Habra when you're up high.
I occasionally go to this park to walk my dog. This park immediately became our favorite park since our very first visit. Peaceful and clean.
This is my go to park. Usually isn't crowded and there is also a well maintained restroom. Parking is somewhat limited but enough on most days. There are two sections of the park one being below and the other on top that can be accessed by walking further up.
Really Nice Park to walk or ride a bike or whatever, or to have a quick bite of Twin Dragon Chinese Food with someone you really care about and they are your friend but they just don't like you like that and then so you are trying to be normal cuz you're just friends right?
