I throughly enjoy this park. Has a beautiful 3 mile loop and multiple playgrounds along the way, followed by a beautiful view of the water. Perfect for families on an evening stroll w the dogs or even on a quiet run. However once the sun goes down, there's not much light and I believe it closes at 8pm, you got to start making your way back to the car. There's a dog living there, and I've seen many people try to lure her to come back home with them. Seems like this pup is living her best life outside, and being fed by everyone around. However, they're "trapping her so she can go to her new family" sounds pretty heartbreaking to me. If you want to save a dog, go to the shelter, please! We aren't playing Pokémon over here with Miss Freesia. She has a good temperament, I don't think she needs a savior. Free-sia, bc let that dog be free!

Great beautiful park for a day out at the lake and/or picnic with friends and family. Went primarily for fishing and chilling, and it's a beautiful place to do so! Well kept and fairly clean, but the water was a bit filthy last time I went but it may be just due to excessive parties visiting and/or the heat. Overall for just $12 entry, I highly recommend visiting!

The park is big, with many activities, and close to, in the way inside there is a water park. Excellent for paddling, canoeing and fishing. There are tables for picnic and restrooms. You can take your dog. The place is so peaceful! It is worth to go there to spend a day with your family. My grandson loved fishing there.

It's nice but crowded sometimes. Mother nature really at its best here. You can feel them more than feel them.

Laker Playground delivered an exceptional play experience for our five-year-old! The massive play structure, designed for kids aged five through 12, features tall slides and various climbing options that kept her entertained for over an hour. We thoroughly enjoyed the imaginative play, with our little one turning the playground into her castle, complete with daddy as the dragon and mommy as the knight. It's worth noting that the structure can get pretty high, so ensure your kids are adept at climbing or be vigilant when spotting younger ones. We also appreciated the friendly atmosphere--our daughter even made a new friend there. The well-built structure and safety measures, like the wood chip ground covering, made it a worry-free playtime. Highly recommend for families with kids in the specified age range for a truly fun-filled outing!

As an avid birder, I can't believe it's taken me so long to visit Bonelli but I finally did and the amount of species I saw on my brief morning walk was astounding!! I've had so many birder friends hounding me to visit and I'm so glad I finally did - definitely a fantastic spot for birding, but also for fishing, kayaking and boating, or even just for relaxing by the reservoir! The lake in the heart of the park is 250-acre Puddingstone Reservoir and is a very important habitat for the birds and other wildlife in the area. The park is very well maintained and has tons of picnic tables and other areas to relax and enjoy the fresh air. The picnic tables by the lake are out in the open but the ones by the main parking lot are covered. The numerous trees provide some shade but I recommend sunscreen. There's a nice pier that gets you a little closer to the birds further out in the water - this is a fantastic place to watch the many Grebes that visit during their migrations - their mating dances are quite a splendid sight to see! There are lots of ground squirrels here as well and I saw a woman going around throwing lots of peanuts while I was there - it's cute to watch them eat but I'm not entirely sure this is good for them bc they become dependent :/ The park is very large with campgrounds and lots of different recreational areas. I visited the main part of the park by the nice beach but it seemed closed, perhaps for the winter? There were many people fishing by the parking area. It also has a large playground and there are plenty of clean bathrooms everywhere. Theres also a visitor center but it was closed when I arrived. During my visit I walked as much of the lake perimeter as I could and it was an easy stroll with so many birding opportunities! I saw 26 species in less than 2 hours - a fantastic morning! I'll definitely be back again in spring to try and catch some shots of the Grebes spectacular mating dance in all its glory!

Always a great LA county park, Hubby at work kids at school, what to do... what to do ... TRAILS, beautiful trails for walking for mountain bikes... Today, perfect weather ... no sun, cloudy light drizzle why not mountain bike, if you love nature and getting muddy, good location for that!

Any day of the year is a good day to visit this park. There is camping, water sports, fishing, hiking and swimming. Not to mention the seasonal Raging Waters area that has a separate entrance fee. The views of the sunrise or sunset are spectacular. It is so peaceful to relax amongst the trees, ducks and grassy picnic areas. Back to nature, yet not too far from the city. It seems that the Pier is closed for renovations, which is a disappointment. I hope it's open in time for Summer. Don't forget to tell 'em, Rosemary sent ya!
