The Placerita Canyon Nature Center sits in a shady canyon filled with willow trees and oak groves. A stream runs the length of the canyon, and there are an abundance of walking and hiking trails for visitors to explore. The park also has its own waterfall as well as designated picnic areas, and dogs are welcome in Placerita Canyon Park as long as they are on a leash.

A nature center located in the park offers nature walks, special presentations, and information on self-guided tours. For locals who want to get involved, the center has a volunteer program where docents can lead groups of elementary school children on tours.
