Charter Oak Park

If you’ve got a toddler and a dog, this Camarillo neighborhood spot checks both boxes pretty well. The play area is simple — slides and swings — but it’s the right scale for little ones who aren’t ready for the big stuff yet. Grab a bench under the shade trees while the kids do their thing. The eucalyptus-lined walking path is honestly one of the better parts, tall trees, good smell, easy loop. Throw in a basketball half-court and a wide open grass field and there’s enough here to burn off a Saturday morning.
