Ask almost any longtime Stevenson Ranch resident where the neighborhood actually gathers, and Dr. Richard H. Rioux Memorial Park comes up fast. Michelle and Jon Dubner talk to sellers in Stevenson Ranch regularly about what genuinely sets their listing apart in the Santa Clarita market, and proximity to a well-used 17-acre park like Rioux is one of the most underused talking points we see, especially for buyers relocating from more crowded parts of Los Angeles.
Key Takeaways
- Dr. Richard H. Rioux Memorial Park sits on 17 acres at 26233 W Faulkner Dr in Stevenson Ranch, with grassy lawns, mountain views, and a playground.
- Amenities include a baseball field, basketball and tennis courts, a walking track, picnic areas, and a private space that can be reserved for events.
- The park is open 6:30am to 9pm daily, with programming hours that run into the evening most weekdays.
- For sellers, being within an easy walk of a full-amenity park like this is a genuine selling point worth naming specifically, not just implying with 'great location.'
What Is Rioux Park, Exactly?
Dr. Richard H. Rioux Memorial Park, known locally as Rioux Park, is a 17-acre county park at 26233 W Faulkner Dr in Stevenson Ranch. It has grassy open lawns, mountain views, and a playground with slides and swings, plus a baseball diamond, basketball and tennis courts, and a walking track that circles part of the property. There is also a private, enclosable area available for parties or outdoor events, which residents use for everything from birthday parties to small community gatherings.
What Are the Park Hours?
The park itself is open 6:30am to 9pm, seven days a week. Programming hours run Monday through Thursday 10:30am to 9pm, Friday 10:30am to 7pm, and Saturday 8:30am to 5pm. Dogs are allowed, and the park has wheelchair-accessible parking and entrances, which makes it genuinely usable for a wide range of Stevenson Ranch households, not just families with young kids.
Why Should This Matter If You Are Selling in Stevenson Ranch?
Jon and I see a lot of Stevenson Ranch listings lean on generic language like "close to parks and shopping" without ever naming what that actually means. If your home is a short walk from Rioux Park specifically, that is worth stating outright in your listing description and your agent's marketing, not left vague. Buyers relocating from Los Angeles, where a 17-acre park with this many amenities within walking distance is rare, respond to specifics. "Five-minute walk to Rioux Park's baseball field and tennis courts" does more work than "great location" ever will.
How Does Rioux Park Fit Into Daily Life in Stevenson Ranch?
Residents use it for everything from an early morning lap around the walking track before work in Los Angeles, to weekend baseball practice, to an after-dinner walk with the dog. That kind of everyday, low-key usefulness is exactly the sort of detail that helps a buyer picture their own routine in a home, which is a real part of what moves a Stevenson Ranch listing from "looked at" to "made an offer on."
