| - Often referred to by teens as "O'Cal," this is an older park which has aged like fine wine, and offers a little of everything. You can find a baseball diamond, basketball court, racquetball court, volleyball area (with sand), two parking lots (one via Skyline and the other via Horizon), swings, walking path, open grass area, barbecues, tennis courts, restrooms, and playground.
Unlike other parks in the area, which seem somewhat separated from the community, O'Callaghan is smack-dab in the middle of a neighborhood. There are houses across the street on Skyline, as well as back yards from nearby homes sharing the entire Eastern edge of the park.
While there isn't a splash area or as many barbecues as found at Mission Hills Park, there is more than enough to here to make this one of the better parks in the area.
Although you can often find people here at all hours of the day or night, it gets pretty dark here after hours, and doesn't feel quite as inviting as it does during the day.
Overall, O'Cal is a vital park in the area, with plenty to offer kids and parents alike.
