The entry gate is located at the intersection between Ventura's Foothill and Day Roads.

Several hiking trails run near and outside the park, including a notoriously steep path known as "The Wall".

During the Thomas Fire of 2017–2018, multiple structures, including the park's nature center and a playground were destroyed.

Before it was destroyed, the nature center held a collection of taxidermy animals such as foxes.

The park has hosted Twilight's Last Gleaming Cross Country Challenge annually since 1986.
