Houghton Schreiber Park

Baseball Haven

At the heart of Houghton Schreiber Park stand four baseball diamonds that are home to Santa Susana Baseball. If you're a baseball fan or have little leaguers in your life, you might find yourself spending a lot of time here.

The fields here aren't just an afterthought - they're impressively maintained, with staff efficiently prepping them between tournament games. Throughout the season, you'll find everything from casual local games to competitive travel baseball events bringing these diamonds to life.

Beyond Baseball

While baseball might be the star of the show, the park doesn't stop there. There's a half-court for basketball that's fantastic for shooting hoops or quick pickup games when you're feeling competitive.

There's also a volleyball court for those interested in a different sport. And if you're visiting with kids, they'll make a beeline for the playground area complete with swings and a jungle gym where they can climb, slide, and burn off that seemingly endless energy.

Gathering Spot

Houghton Schreiber Park seems designed with togetherness in mind. The barbecue facilities and scattered picnic tables make it a natural choice for everything from birthday celebrations to casual weekend cookouts.

On those hot California days, you'll appreciate the shade cast by the park's large trees - especially if you're settling in to watch a few innings from the sidelines.

Natural Retreat

Found in a residential area, this green space offers a welcome break from suburban sprawl. It's close enough for locals to access easily but feels like a small escape from daily life.

The lush greenery around the grounds, backed by beautiful hills on the horizon, creates a surprisingly serene atmosphere. The park's quieter character provides a nice contrast to the bustling baseball activities.

Trails to Explore

If sitting still isn't your style, hit the walking trails that wind through the park. Regardless of whether you're up for a leisurely stroll or looking to get your steps in, there's a path for you here.

The terrain offers some variety too, with both flat sections and uphill portions if you're looking for more of a challenge. You'll often spot dog walkers enjoying the routes, and occasionally cyclists taking a breather during longer rides.

Practical Matters

The park's restrooms are typically clean and well-maintained, however they might occasionally be closed. Parking is generally plentiful, but expect a bit of chaos if you arrive during a baseball tournament.

One nice bonus: the park sits within walking distance of a restaurant, convenience store, and fire department - making it easy to extend your visit without much planning. Forgot snacks or need a proper meal after all that outdoor time? You're covered.
