The Polo Grounds is located adjacent to the Buffalo Ranch at the corner of Tenaja Road
and Calle Bandido in the rolling oak treed hills of Tenaja. Tenaja is a small elite
community on the Santa Rosa Plateau comprised of equestrian estate type ranches. It's
bordered by the Cleveland National Forest and the Santa Rosa Ecological Reserve.
The Buffalo Ranch and the Polo Grounds were once part of the Ronald and Nancy Reagan Ranch.
The Buffalo Ranch has been a local landmark for years. It borders the prestigious gate-guarded
private community of Meadow Oaks. The Polo Grounds is one of five regulation polo fields in
Southern California (Rancho Santa Fe, Santa Barbara, Palisades and Indio)
Springtime in Tenaja brings out fields of greenery mixed with colorful wildflowers. The Polo
Grounds is bordered by a forest of century old oak trees interspersed with giant rock
formations. Meadow lakes is a string of lakes, which run from Calle Pino through the private
community of Meadow Oaks, and continues through Buffalo Ranch and the Polo Grounds. All sorts
of waterfowl inhabit the lakes; reeds, willows and native grasses ring the lakes, which lend
a serene setting.
A few miles from the Polo Grounds in the Cleveland National Forest is Tenaja Falls; where a
wide creek cascades over granite cliffs 150 feet down into the valley below. It's worth a visit!
The Polo Grounds is within an hours drive of the Los Angeles and Orange County line. The Nature
Conservancy has purchased hundreds of acres from private ownership and is now in public domain.
Land in the Tenaja's area now sells at a premium because of this created scarcity.
