Oak Canyon Nature Center

We had our wedding ceremony here and it was pretty seamless! Simply submitted an email request, received documentation to sign and fill out, and that was it. The price was amazing and the ceremony was beautiful. It ended up raining a bit so it was muddy but we had prepared our guests as best we could. The staff was great and really helpful day-of, sweeping away debris off the benches. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous.

I had also visited before and just noting that parking can be rough on weekends due to weddings, the lot is small and there is plentiful street parking but it’s a trek. Lots of beautiful trails.

I really liked this place. It was very small and the trails are very short, which was disappointing. But it was a nice shaded place for a leisurely stroll. It's free, too. However, be aware that parking is a nightmare.

On weekend days there is usually a wedding, so I try to go on weekdays. I have never seen it really busy, but having fewer people around makes it easier to immerse myself in the surroundings. There are several good hiking trails and you can go all the way up to the reservoir where people jog and cycle. The park itself is covered with oak trees with a little stream running through. At the top is a beautiful view.

This is such a great place to come for a hike or a walk. They have a lot of routes and fun spots to stop and enjoy nature. They also have benches to sit if you just want to take it all in. We did a few of the hikes and all of them were pretty easy even for kids. It's also fairly shaded on some of these routes so it helps protect you from a super sunny day. We had a great time and made it to the oldest oak tree and the wind caves.

We love this place! We are biased as we got married here, but ten years later getting to go back with our young kids and show them the beauty was really amazing! So many ducks were in the stream, beautiful trees with the sun shining through, the bridges are fun to walk on with toddlers. This place is so much fun to explore! The lady at the center was really informative and let my kids touch some reptiles. Great place for all ages to experience the beauty of nature!
