There is now a per-vehicle parking fee, which several reviewers grumble about; one notes you can park at the mall and walk in. Inside there are three playgrounds, plenty of restrooms, picnic tables, grills and a dog park. Trails run from flat paved paths to exposed climbs, so bring water.
Just over the line in Rowland Heights, this 575-acre county park is the big-nature option near Diamond Bar, with playgrounds, wide lawns, a dog park and miles of hiking and equestrian trails. Come on a weekday to skip the weekend parking fee. Bring water and hats — the trails climb into open, sunny hills.

Truly an awesome park. A peaceful get away from the city. Nice trails that surrounds the main Park. Beautiful scenery. Usually positive and friendly people around. Well-being conscious people. I only go there for a short peaceful walk around the park for like an hour and a half. So it hurts to go from paying nothing to $10 a day. It would have been a lot better if it was $10 on the weekend and $5.00 through the week which would have made a lot more sense. It's my favorite park in the area. The parking lot is emptier than it should be through the week because of the parking fee. You risk the chance of getting your car broken into parking outside of the park. I think $5 a day would have been a perfect medium. But like I said I love this park and it hurts me that I can't go as much as I please. Getting my health back together after cancer treatment and this park was a pure motivation to get out and about and exercise. Horses and stables in the back for private owners. Trails throughout the park that takes you over the mountain. Somewhat secluded areas by the dog park under shaded trees. Positive people and beautiful energy throughout. Truly a gem in the environment we live in today . But I don't think charging $5 instead of $10 would have hindered The vibes at all. I hope and pray that they step back a little bit on the entry fee because I just can't afford it. It bothers me to use the word can't so one day I will be able to afford it I'm sure. So who all that read this I wish you a beautiful an awesome unfolding of this delicious life that we all share on this planet. 💙

Beautiful and very large park — perfect for spending a few hours outdoors. There are multiple trails that wind across, around and above the park, from easy walks to some more intense hikes with limited shade, so come prepared with water and sunscreen. The views on the more intense hikes are great. Entry fee is $10 per vehicle, and it’s absolutely worth it for how well-kept the park is. There are plenty of picnic areas, clean restrooms, a small creek (dry during our November visit), and nice recreational areas for kids. A great place to relax, explore, or hike for a few hours surrounded by nature. Both the park and all the hikes are dog friendly, but dogs need to stay on the leash especially because there's a lot of wild nature on the hikes
