A spacious park (544 Acres) located at the foot of Oso Parkway where it joins up against two entrances to Coto de Caza (a private community).\u00a0 Easiest directions from the 5 freeway coming from north or south exit at Oso Parkway and head east approximately 6.3 miles.\u00a0 Just before you reach the end of Oso Parkway note the dirt road on the right hand side which is the Riley Wilderness Park entrance.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Google Map in which I marked up with arrows right to the park entrance.<\/p>\n
