Those with a bow and arrow can take them to Oak Canyon Community Center and Park, where there’s an archery range and plenty of other activities to enjoy. Deerhill Park is popular with athletes, with pickleball and tennis courts, soccer fields and playgrounds. Locals can hike scenic trails at the 625-acre Sage Ranch Park, where they can take in massive sandstone rock formations and breathtaking views of the valley. The park is overflowing with fragrant coastal sage scrub, chaparral, oak woodlands and wildflower meadows. The Cave of Munits holds a lot of cultural significance for the native Chumash people of the area. Today, experienced hikers and rock climbers flock to the cave to explore its 1.9-mile looping trail, considered highly challenging.
