Todd Longshore Park is an intimate, bluff-side park with beautiful views of Santa Clarita Valley.

This park is very well-kept and never crowded. They do have a free parking lot, with a limited number of spaces, but we have not run into any problems finding a spot. They also have a well-maintained restroom, with changing tables in both men's & women's restrooms. You can find clean picnic tables scattered around the park, some of which have their own individual gazebos. You can also reserve the large picnic area for parties through the City of Santa Clarita Facility Reservation office. 

They have two shaded playground structures, each geared for different ages (2-5 & 5-12 years old). The playground structures are surrounded by sand areas. Feel free to bring sand toys! They also have swings, two for smaller childer and two or older. There are two grass field areas, not big enough to play group sports on, but a great spot to have a family picnic or play with your fur family. They also have a paved path that surrounds the park's perimeter, great for stroller-walking or biking/scootering with your children. 

Towards the back of the park they have a nature trail that leads you along the bluff for a gorgeous view of Santa Clarita Valley, without a strenuous hike. During the spring season, you can find wildflowers along the trail. The trail loops around back to the street (Sierra Highway), or you can head back the way you came to the park. The perfect park for a quiet afternoon!

They are a nature & science lovin’ family of four that spends as much time as possible exploring the great outdoors. Their family motto is “Leave the road, take the trails…” Their favorite outdoor activities are bouldering, waterfall hikes and family bike rides. When they aren’t out on the trails you’ll find them digging for sand crabs at the beach, collecting water samples to observe under their microscope or working on their outdoor family apparel for our Etsy shop!!!
