Lost canyons Golf Course and Resturant Simi Valley CA(Video Blog) Summer is here and so is Friday Night Dinner at Lost Canyons Golf Course. The Friday Night Dinners began the first week of June and will continue up through September with outdoor dining on the patio, live music and great views of the area. This is not a private club, so everyone is welcome. If you’ve not been up to the clubhouse or golf course, this is a great time to visit and see one of the beautiful Golf Courses located in Simi Valley, you will not be disappointed.  The Lost Canyons Golf Course and Clubhouse is located up behind the Big Sky housing development and can be reached by traveling north Tapo Canyon Road or north on  Erringer (see map link below).

Simi Valley Dog Park Now Open

(Map Below) I made it up to the Simi Valley Dog Park last Monday Evening with my pooch “Bentley”.  I was quite surprised.  I love the location.  This section of Simi Valley in the Santa Susana Mountains is breathtaking and has the best views of the surrounding  hills, canyons and valley…better than Long Canyon and Wood Ranch. To get to the Simi Valley Dog Park go north on Erringer from the 118 freeway, then at Lost Canyons make a right turn and then at Parkside make a left.  Drive past the ball fields and up to the top, past the water tank. The Simi Valley Dog Park is completely fenced in, divided in two sections,  one section for large breeds and the other for small breeds.  This is in the Big Sky housing development on the north central side of Simi Valley.

This is going to be a popular place for dog lovers to come and play with their dogs and let their dogs socialize with other dogs.

I even thought that if you were a dog lover, but did not have a home that could accommodate dog ownership, you could visit the park and enjoy the dogs.  The Simi Valley Dog Park is a great place to visit if you are planning to purchase or rescue a dog soon, as you can meet dog owners and ask questions and observe how the different breeds interact.

This park is beautiful and something our city needed.  The only flaw I could find in the Simi Valley Dog park was the watering station.  It was not well planned and it has turned into a mud pit very close to the entrance.  This can be fixed and should prove to be a temporary nuisance.

To get to the park take Erringer north to Lost Canyons Drive and turn right. Then go to 2151 Lost Canyons Dr. Simi Valley Ca 93065. When you see the Baseball field on the left you are almost there. Turn left into the entrance of the base ball fields and drive past the fields all the way up to the top of the hill. The Google Map below has an old satellite photo.

We got our first real cold snap in a while, my car windows were iced over this morning and the hills were gorgeous.

For some Christmas Music turn up your speakers for a 21 song set I put together over at Blip.fm.
