Lazy J Ranch Park

There is a nice path around the whole path for young beginning bikers. New jungle gym is quite extensive and popular with the under 10 crowd. Sometimes, soccer practice or kids playing a pickup football game can be found on the nice grassy areas. Park is also popular with dog owners.

Nice neighborhood park. Nice playground, and grass. Free running dogs with the masters telling they are harmless could get uncomfortable sometimes. Overall good place to relax daily.

My kids really love the new play structures recently put in this park. The new umbrellas and the old trees provide good shade too. Love this park!

Nice neighborhood park. Brand new play equipment for the kids. Suggest keeping dogs on a leash, citations are given if caught off leash.

Great park but no bathrooms. We get there and play for hours or just 30 minutes depending on when the first kid needs to use the bathroom. A seriously great park with play structures and lots of grass but the need to leave as soon as someone needs to go to the bathroom makes it a tough park to go to.
Dogs welcome and are everywhere. The park is also very safe and patrolled often.

One of the best parks I’ve ever been to. They have a very long trail for Sunday morning strolls or bike rides, two playgrounds, tons and tons of nice grass for sports, a few trees for shade, and an overall peaceful and bright atmosphere. It does not have a basketball court or restroom facilities.

Big Park — Has a great playground. Parking is on the street which can be really busy and the cars go fast — so be careful with the kids. The park has a fence surrounding it. Overall good park.

A nice, quiet, clean park with good playground equipment for kids, picnic benches and some shade trees. Has a paved path through it and side walks around. Drinking fountain but no restroom.

My most visited park in the SFV mainly because I live nearby, the dogs have lots of room to run around, and there’s a nice walking path throughout. Plenty of grassy area used for soccer practice, picnic, parties, etc. There’s not a whole lot of picnic benches, but that doesn’t seem to deter people from bringing blankets to lay on the grass. You’ll even find several mature and younger trees to provide just the right amount of shade you desire.
It’s nice that the entire thing is fenced in, but the speeders along Valley Circle are always worrisome. It would also be a bit quieter if those cars weren’t zipping by all the time. But other than that, it’s a clean and green park with lots of stuff for the dogs to sniff along the way.

This park is fairly large with a lot of open space. It is fenced all around. They have a jungle gym for kids and a few benches throughout the park, but with all the open space, I think this park is really good for people with dogs.

Great place to go on a nice day

Having four legged children requires two things… Walks and Food, and yes housing as well. I have two of them and they know their parks. They love this one!
For one, its gated and two, there PLENTY of shade for them. There is room to walk around, and the people are great. I have not run into any insane, crazy, or mildly nuts individuals at this park. The dogs always get there groove on and the main mission is accomplished… GET THEM TIRED… Yes, they always have fun as well. For us two legged folk, they have great bike paths and running trails that you can take advantage of. So after that meal at the deli place down the street, come to the park, bring your two or four legged children, and get your run, bike, or both on!
Great park in West Hills!

Nice local park. in WEST HILLS. Plenty of shade and lots of grass area to play on. There is also nice hard scaping for the kids to ride bikes on. We have always had a great time at the park with lots of kids to play with.

This is a fairly nice park with a large grassy area. There’s also a nice «bike path» that the kids love. The only I don’t like is that it is bordered on one side by Valley Circle Blvd. While this street isn’t extremely busy, it’s still a main thorough fair for the west valley. I usually prefer to go to Taxco Trails Park nearby.

I award stars to parks mainly based on how the space serves its community.
Except for a few picnic tables, Lazy J Ranch Park has no amenities except for kiddie play equipment and a large grassy area.
But there are views of the Chatsworth hills and I love this area. I thought it was West Hills, but no, it’s Canoga Park.
The park is located deep in an attractive, quiet residential neighborhood. I assume that’s why there are no lighted ball fields, the homes are right next to the park.
I almost bought a house next to this park, several years ago. I’ve often regretted making the decision not to buy that house. This is a beautiful area, hot in summer though.
The entire park space is fenced, and there were a couple of families enjoying the kids playground on Labor Day. But mostly the park was empty, and the whole neighborhood was peaceful, no traffic.
I was far from the city, having a lovely adventure, on a beautiful day that didn’t get away.
