Oso Viejo Park and Jeronimo Open Space for Outdoor Fitness

by Michele Whiteaker

Oso Viejo Park (Village Green section) and Jeronimo Open Space in Mission Viejo are perfect for outdoor fitness when you pair the resistance machines with a nice walk along the Oso Creek Trail.

Jeronimo Open Space

The Oso Creek Trail cuts through the Jeronimo Open Space traveling uphill from Oso Viejo Park to Pavion Park. It is a beautiful walk, but also a rather long walk. It’s stroller-friendly, though, and you can always turn around at any point.(Uphill from Oso Viejo to Pavion / Downhill from Pavion to Oso Viejo).

Outdoor Fitness at Oso Viejo

The exercise areas are lined up next to each other. Here is what you get (for free) in this outdoor gym:

Station #1

Fitness Equipment

Station #2

Village Green lawn

Station #3

Checklist:

  • Read about Oso Viejo Park (Norman P. Murray Senior and Community Center) and the Trail.
  • If you want to go straight to the exercise equipment, you’d pull into the parking lot on the right as you are driving into the center.
  • The outdoor fitness area is called Village Green and sits along the lawn area and sidewalk.
  • This area can be busy on weekends because of sports games on the field.
  • There are restrooms by the playground outside the Norman P. Murray Center.
  • No restrooms along the trail or at Pavion Park.
  • Check out Mission Viejo’s interactive map with trails and parks for more info

Location: From the 5 Freeway, take the La Paz exit and head east past Marguerite Parkway. Make a left on Veterans Way. (Address: 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo) MAP to Oso Viejo Park at the Norman P. Murray Community Center in Mission Viejo
