Calleguas Creek Park

If you’ve got a toddler and just need somewhere low-key to burn off some energy, this Camarillo spot does the job well. The swings are a big hit with the little ones, and the open grass field gives them plenty of room to roam without you stressing about traffic or crowds. The walking and bike path along the canal is a nice bonus — easy, flat, and stroller-friendly. Parking is a non-issue, which honestly makes a difference when you’re wrangling a toddler and a diaper bag. Just plan ahead on the restrooms situation, because there aren’t any on-site.
