Tesoro Adobe Park

Only complaint: I wish they were better about water usage. It’s improved lately but there are always sections of «watered» concrete and muddy/​sloshy grass sections to get caught in. Otherwise a great park to have in the community.

this park has a pool and tennis courts and even a bech volleyball court. at the upper side, there is a playground for children from age 5 – 12 and swings for both children and babies. a baseball/​kickball area available too! there are two ars for basketball courts and the bottom section has a basketball hoop for children that is low enough for them to shoot. lots of picnic tables and benches. only downside to this park is that the playground area for the kids has no shade. on summer days, the playground equipment is hot i worry it’ll burn my children’s skin.

Amazing park. Awesome staff. Tours are interesting. Special events are fun and FREE!!!

This is an interesting piece of Southern California film history, right in the middle of a tract housing development in the unincorporated part of northern Santa Clarita. Tesoro del Valle was the property of silent film star Harry Carey, one of the early stars of the Western film genre. The structures were built in the period between the 1920s and 1930s and are incredibly well-​preserved. The park is well-​maintained by the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation, and docent-​led tours are offered Wednesdays-​Sundays, 1 – 4 p.m. Parking is free in the Tesoro Adobe Park parking lot. There are two entrances to two different parks when you enter the lot: on the left is a private park and recreation grounds for residents of the housing development; on the right is the County-​owned historic park. Just go through the open gate (see photo). A pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Here is a better link to the webpage:

Nice little historic park and museum. It is something else to check out in Valencia besides the Six Flags Amusement Park. No fee (no gift shop either), and there is a parking lot that is shared with a neighboring private park.
