Valencia Heritage Park

Really cool park! Walking paseos go through the park connecting to the surrounding neighborhoods, ½ dozen concrete tables under roof cover (would be great for a party tables are all left to eachother next to playgrounds & bathrooms) 2 play area/jungle gyms w/ slides different activities, a few swings the coolest being a baby bucket switch with an attached regular swing so parents and can swing with their minis facing eachother roughly 2-4 fields for sports or to have a picnic, couple tennis courts & 1 bathroom building of course w/ separate male & female area with several stalls in each. People do walk dogs through here somewhat regularly in the evenings from what I've seen.

Dreary, rainy winter of '23 and the photos/videos reflect it. Ok, this one. I can't say why with specificity but I'm simply unimpressed. I think, maybe, I'm becoming jaded by the volume of Parks in the SCV. There's nothing glaringly wrong with Heritage. Here's the good. Easy access to the San Francisquito Trail Paseo. It also has three well maintained tennis courts. Bathrooms are clean. There are two large fields for running around. Pavilion and numerous benches throughout the park. Charcoal grills. So, it's not a bad park. It is however right along Newhall Ranch Road, one of the busiest roads in Santa Clarita. Onr entrance and parking lot is off Newhall. Another is at the intersection of Fairview and McBean Pkwy, another very busy road. You can see some scenery but it's not the most picturesque park in the inventory. I gave it 4 stars mostly for the paseo access and tennis courts. It's really a 3+ star park so I rounded up.

Friendly, clean and bike rentals are available .. park is next to some great trails.

Update: the bike rentals are no longer available. They were removed at the beginning of the pandemic as they kept getting vandalized.

The park is still great with nice running and biking paths. I don't recommend walking into the wash trail paths at night as some folk like to sleep there and drink.

I never see anyone there during the day.

Very nice play structure
Different ones for different ages
The bathrooms are very close to the playground.
Has soccer fields
Small but nice walking or cycling trail

The site for the 5K / 10K finish the ride/finish the run Halloween race today. They also had different bike distances up to 100k. The flush toilets were unexpected and really a nice surprise. Parking filled up quickly but there was ample parking at 5 to 10 minute walk away
