It currently ranks as the seventh safest U.S. city with a population between 100,000 and 500,000 but has been ranked most safe in the same class in a number prior years.

Two collegiate baseball teams: The Simi Valley Senators and the California Oaks of the California Collegiate League in Thousand Oaks, provide sports action to local fans.

To the East, Rocky Peak has a trail system for Mountain Biking, Hiking and Equestrian activities. The trail is accessed at Kuehner Road - The Hummingbird Trail, Rocky Peak Road - the main fire road or by the Chumash Trail. A technical downhill mountain bike run known as the G Spot can be accessed via the main fire road.
