Carlton J. Peterson Park

Diamond Bar, CA

★★★★★4.5(413 Google reviews)

A local favorite with a padded-surface playground plus a skate park, so it works for a wide range of ages at once. Ball fields, picnic tables and barbecues make it a solid pick for a weekend cookout with the kids. There's a short walking path if the grown-ups want to stretch their legs.

    I really like this park. Nice place to walk when there's not so many games and practices being held. Other than that there's a nice skate park ; play ground, and nice path around the park. I'm curious to know if theirs a trail hidden back there?

    Good spot to walk and be outdoors. Lots of other amenities...batting cages, 2 baseball/soft ball fields, play ground, skate park. Well maintained by the city.

    It's a good, clean park, don't get me wrong. It's just on the smaller side and noisy from the freeway. The walkway is 0.36 miles around, and it has a few doggie poop bag stations along the way. But... if you're looking for fun, short nature trails, the one here probably isn't one of them. The Peterson Park Trail is definitely short—it's a 0.2-mile out-and-back trail. However, it is steep with loose gravel, and the latter half of the trail is overgrown from probably not enough use. As of the time of this review, the path after the first lookout area is completely overgrown with tall dry grass and weeds. The "trailhead" is hidden under the trees. There is supposedly poison oak growing here, so I did not attempt to explore off trail.
