Visitors can hike or bike on dozens of miles of trails, visit a botanic garden focused on California native plants, ride an antique carousel or a scaled-down steam train, and swim or fish at Lake Anza. Picnic areas, a golf course, a nature area with a small farm, and quieter wild stretches of land are also spread through the park.
