Sycamore Canyon Park in Diamond Bar: Part Playground and Part Nature Hike

Highlights:

• Beautiful, natural canyon setting complete with a creek and an overlook with a small waterfall not too far up the trail from the play structure area.
• Huge, active and accessible play structure that really gets kids moving.
• One structure near the upper parking lot for smaller kids.
• Large, accessible structure for the bigger kids.
• The smaller play structure is so far removed from the larger structure that there isn’t as much worry about bigger kids bowling over the little ones.
• Great place to pack a picnic lunch or bring food to grill and spend a big chunk of the day playing and exploring.

Be Aware:

• Diamond Bar is the next city on the 57 past Brea in LA County.
• A steep slope that ends in a creek is near the edge of the larger play area. There is a short fence at the top of the slope but I would watch smaller kids very carefully.
• The trail area is a rattlesnake habitat.
• The trail gets downright steep past the waterfall overlook area. The beautiful sweeping views of Diamond Bar and the surrounding area are best seen from an overlook that is up a LOT of stairs. Both of my kids managed the stairs alright, but a good stopping point with smaller kids would be the waterfall overlook area.
• No swings
