Getting outdoors at Verdugo Park and Sunshine Preserve
Located at the base of the Verdugo Mountains in sunny California, College Hills is an active outdoor community. Residents can take advantage of the recreational and athletic amenities at Verdugo Park, a large regional complex where youth compete in baseball, softball and basketball and have access to two playgrounds and skating facilities. The park also includes a pair of playgrounds and dozens of reservable picnic tables. The community’s terrain is attractive to outdoor enthusiasts. The Sunshine Preserve is a dirt hiking trail that follows the ridgeline of the community’s foothills into the Verdugo Mountains. It was recently purchased by the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy with the goal of connecting the many open spaces in the Verdugo range to the San Gabriel Mountains to the east. The preserve winds through picturesque natural habitat, which includes an array of plants and animals that is studied by the conservancy. A mountain lion that officials have named Nikita is known to roam the preserve at night.
