Theres so many trails that the map doesnt have! Its so beautiful and fun exploring, be careful though, we saw a diamond back a few weeks ago.

Awesome place for some a good 3 miles of cardio. My 5 year old made it without issue. Steep inclines

Loved my day here. Well only spent a little over an hour, but the trails were awesome and it was just enough to really feel I was in the wilderness with my dog. I got good exercise and beautiful fresh air and then spent some time in the covered picnic bench area with a lunch I brought for me in my dog. It was really awesome! I met a few people also who were there and they were very nice it was not crowded it was just perfect. The 2nd time I went it was very crowded and this was right around Covid 19, and they did close the park along with others in Riverside County and LA(May) for that reason.

One of the best outdoor places to spend time in Hemet. Would be even better if everyone cleaned up after themselves.

This is a very nice park. They do a great job of keeping it clean. Nice trails .

Nice trail / park. No maps present when i was onsite so make sure you print one or download a copy of youre planning on hiking.Good views and great people.

What a great place to visit. If youre an in shape hiker or bicyclist it is an amazing place to explore. Most of the trails I tried were a bit to steep for me on the walk back up.

One of the best views of the valley that you dont need a 4x4 to reach. Trails are well marked with amazing views. Fun spot to bring kids and have a BBQ at the designated areas.

Wonderful local place to go and see how beautiful this Valley is

All the fresh air and sunshine you can take not to mention the miles of trails just begging to be hiked. And its all for free. Whats not to love! I highly recommend Simpson Park, especially for dog owners

Nice place everyone should go .

It was a spectacular view.

Please clean up graffiti, still to beautiful to give less then 5 stars.

This is the most amazing! And beautiful park I have ever been to in my life! Omg! So well landscaped and very well maintained by park management! Highly Recommend this park!!! The views are the best I have ever seen, the park is absolutely safe to walk or hike. There is some parking off the street if the gates are closed but you can still visit the park on foot after hours:-) Bring bottled water to stay hydrated and good shoes for walking! Such beautiful scenery!

An awesome spot to hike or picnic. Miles of trails and amazing view of diamond valley lake.

Place is beautiful. You get a stunning view of Hemet lake. Nice for biking or hiking.

Fun went as a family. Plan on coming again

Its quiet and relaxing a good place to think

Only place in Hemet i like going for a jog/ walk.

Great place for beginner hikers

I have just discovered this place a couple weeks ago. So far I like it...Its probably not the place to be on a hot midsummer day.

Plenty of trails for hikers of all levels. Lots of picnic areas and scenic spots. Big outdoor shaded area perfect to hang out at with a horseshoe pit (bring your own horseshoes) water fountain and bathrooms. Bring your dog on a leash, but stick to the trails, and watch for rattle snakes. I brought a 7 year old and my 2 year old. There are some slippery areas if you dont have a good outdoor shoe or boot you could easily slip. Bring water and sunscreen!

Magnificent 360 degree view of Gods incredible creation. Miles of territory to explore. Just one of the Hidden Treasures in Hemet.

Nice peaceful beautiful energy inspiring. Gray placed top relax or hike.

Great place to get out and enjoy nature. Love coming here

Love hiking with the family here. Trails are clean and locals are always friendly

Amazing place for vacation

Beutiful, great trails.

What a great place to disappear to. The trails go on and on with enough options for hikers, bikers and leisurely walkers.

The best time is to go early in the morning at 7 or 6 good hike

Beautiful views. We were lucky to have such a nice January day.

Great place to take the dogs, lots of well marked trails .very scenic, we visit often.

Big open space, near a crowded town, wildlife, trails, views, dog friendly!

Awesome, perfect adventure hike

Went on a wonderful hike. Everything trail was clean and easy to travel.

Great place to hike. They also have biking trails. Picnic tables up at the very top and spectacular views.

Views nice. But drive is long and its always closed

Beautiful scenery of the city of Hemet. Great walking and riding paths.

Me, my husband and our son LOVE Simpson Park! Its 5 minutes from the house. Great exercise and family time. Beautiful views absolutely love! The one and only downside is all of the broken bottles and trash!

What views and great hiking and biking trails in the area of Hemet

Best place to come and relax, with great hiking trails and its close by

Its a great place nice and peaceful and a Beautiful view .

Great park for hiking and great views without a long drive.

Great hiking and biking trails. There is a nice little summit trail takes approx. an hour to hike. Seasonal flowers are an added treat.Picnic tables are available along with the best views of Diamond valley lake and the surrounding valley. Do everyone a favor and keep it clean!

Amazing place! Some pretty rough trails. Bathrooms need some attention.

Cool place for hiking, biking, picnicing, RC crawlin, exploring.....will definitely be back

Best park around, just a shame they still havent re-opened it after the Fire Danger, now its December 8, after several days of rain and 50-60 degree days, are they afraid its gonna somehow burst into flames? Maybe they are just lazy and dont feel like opening up until enough people complain? They could at least publish an expected date, so one doesnt have to drive up there just to see if its finally been opened up. The 4 stars are for the park, 1 star for the management.

Nice park with several short hiking trails.

Love hiking here, love that theres water at the top and they leave a doggy water bowl.

My favorite place in the valley, still fresh and untouched. Yes some vandalism in places but overall pristine and nice. Hikng available at any level. My dogs love the place, safe for them away from traffic. Generally everyone were meet are friendly. And not too far out, where you wouldnt feel safe, bathrooms available, picnic areas, and wide open areas to walk and climb.

Very nice park and hiking, view.

Went hiking and was surprised at the views and trails. Beautiful location.

Beautiful views, magnificent air. Were going back up here on Saturday when itll hopefully be clear skies. Today it was smoggy. You could still see diamond valley Lake if you know what to look for. Good trails, you can go bike riding, hiking, horseback riding. Its kind of hard to find if youve never been because the road that leads up to it seems like it should be a dead end street but it keeps going and going until you reach your destination. Its definitely worth the little drive up the mountain to see those awesome views even on a smoggy day!

First time here and enjoyed our hike and beautiful view!

Its peaceful and beautiful......lots of trails to walk..... definitely coming back.

Nice place to visit and hike I took my dog I and state on the trail they have picnic benches and other facilities

Simpson Park provides with an excellent way to get out, and explore the wild. The areas are beautiful and well kept. And there’s nothing more relaxing than be on the top of a rock, admiring the view.

Nice views, wildlife on the trails. Easy to get to. No facilities here but parking lots.

Fun spot to come and unwind! The trails are terrific and the park is well kept. I took my dog with me on my last hike here and it was very enjoyable

Its beautiful and green right now. So much fun to take my son and dogs here

Get away from Hemet! Beautiful floara/fauna during spring. Dog friendly.Intense bike paths.Hilly hiking paths.Minimal bugs.Trails for beginners to intermediates.Overall, this place is a calm, serene place to get away from the madness of the city.

Great place for us to walk our dog. Some of the trails give you a really good work out. Going down and then back up. Lots of people and all have been friendly, so definitely a good place to go.

Amazing place to go hiking, if u keep on walking eventually you will hit Temecula. Great scenery also has picnic spots.

Best mountain bike trails around.

Fun Place to Hike with the Family

Really great for mtnb or hiking...also plenty of boulders if you free climb

Its just wonderful up there. The view, the trail, the peace. Should be utilized more

It was beautiful plan a trip peacefully take a picnic basket or youre dog

Beautiful views of the entire city! Tons of hiking trails! Picnic tables and shelter houses. Bathrooms.

Great place to hike but i just go for the Valley View. Nice quiet and if you havent, you shouldsee the spectacular view at night.

The great view of the town n city.

Love the view. Especially over seeing the vineyards. Awesome!!

Very beautiful place, I can only imagine how much nicer it is during the green season. There are many trails available of varying difficulty. The trails are child friendly as we took our 6, 7, and 9 year olds with us. There are paved trails that are more friendly to parents with stroller age range children to hiking and biking trails for older audiences. There are many amazing views and one could spend hours here easily and only see a small percent. It is definitely worth the trip and parking is convenient as well. I recommend it for anyone. There are many places to stop and rest and also to have a picnic or snack break if needed.

Wonderful place near Hemet to get out in nature close by!

Such a beautiful exciting place to go and you have 2 picnic areas,some cool trails as well as a view of the lake, plus the drive up is nice as well, I definitely recommend this place it’s beautiful.

Its a pretty good hiking place but there is no shade.

Our scout troop came to clean up and scout trails after the rain. Some trails were great others not so much al in all a fantastic day with fantastic views. You can see diamond valley lake in the west and a great vista to thw west of the mountians

I LOVE SIMPSON PARK.. I GO TO WALK THE TRAILS AND I LIKE TO CLIMB ON THE ROCKS AND LOOK AT THE LAKE. I ALSO LIKE TO SIT ON THE ROCKS AND THINK ABOUT THINGS. I MEET SOME GREAT PEOPLE THERE

Nice trails for walking or biking; large covered area with tables, as well as uncovered area with several picnic tables spaced out. Great place to spend some time in nature. There is even a water bowl and faucet for your dog!

Best workout in a while the trails are family friendly and dog friendly. Clean environment and decent bathrooms

Such wondrous memories here.

Been coming to the park for awhile now. Really enjoy the trails. It is a shame that the park is closed most of the year now

Great place for early morning hiking.

Nice hike little breezy but good time

Always picked up, Nice place to hangout with My 12yr old twins girls. They love to go off walking together...

Website says its closed or fire season from July 1st until further notice, and there is a closed sign on the road up to it.

Great views all around plus 19 trails to hike thru

Simpson park is an amazing place to go enjoy nature & get a great hike in! I love it.

Great place to bring the kids and dogs.

Probably my favorite place in Hemet. Lots of trails to hike and adventures to be had.

Great place to take the family

Peaceful, organic close to home.

Oops didnt mean to mark the one . I was only there once many years ago. It was very nice at that time.
