This 85-acre park is one of the best places to see a diverse collection of native Californian foliage. There are five major plant ecosystems here coastal sage scrub, central coastal scrub, dune oak scrub, streamside riparian, and most importantly, coast live oak forest. These oaks can be several hundred years old and are marked by their twisted branches and trunks. While there are not any facilities in the park, there is a 1.5-mile nature trail that loops through the center.
