Open Fields - Coto de Caza
Why I love this park…
Riley Wilderness Park is renowned for its sweeping golden fields and rolling hills, which offer a scenic and picturesque setting for photography sessions. In addition to its golden fields and rolling hills, Riley Wilderness Park features a charming woodland garden, complete with native plants, lush foliage, and meandering pathways.
Easy Access & Permits
Despite its wilderness setting, Riley Wilderness Park is easily accessible, with well-maintained trails and ample parking available. OC parks also requires a photography permit. This is included at this location at no additional cost.
Things to Consider
As a wilderness park, Riley Wilderness Park is home to a variety of native wildlife and natural habitats. While this adds to the park's natural beauty, it's important to stay in designated areas during photography sessions to minimize disturbance to the local ecosystem. Additionally, be mindful of bugs and critters, particularly during warmer months, and take precautions to ensure a comfortable and safe experience for everyone involved. There are no dogs allowed at this location and there are only port-a-potties for restrooms.
