Walnut Grove Park is a fun community park in Newbury Park, California. It covers about 6.5 acres, which is like six and a half football fields! You can find it right next to the U.S. 101 Ventura Freeway on Newbury Road. The park got its name because there are many walnut trees growing there.
The land for the park was bought in 1981. It was then turned into the park we know today in 1994. Walnut Grove Park is a great place for families and friends to hang out. It has lots of cool things to do, like a playground and sports courts.
