If you’ve spent time at an off-leash park, you’ve probably seen it:A parent strolls in with a stroller 🚼 or […]
Located in the heart of South Los Angeles, Athens Park offers dog owners and pet lovers a convenient green space for their four-legged friends to exercise and play. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, the park is cherished by local residents and their pets, with ample room for dogs to run and enjoy themselves off-leash. The park is maintained by active staff who work to keep the grounds clean and inviting for families and community members.
In addition to dog-friendly open spaces, Athens Park features community amenities like seating areas, shade from mature trees, and nearby restrooms (though these close at 9 p.m.). There is parking available, but weekends and evenings may be busy. Visitors can also enjoy local food vendors, adding to the appeal for families looking for a lively spot. Dog owners appreciate the relaxed environment, although they are encouraged to be mindful of park conditions and busy times.
Restrooms close around 9 p.m. which some people don’t have anywhere to go and they have to stay at park it would be nice to have the restrooms open!! Park is usually well kept up and the guy’s that work there are nice and always busy with the lawn and picking up trash some people don’t have any respect for the Parks and they just throw trash on the ground!! Anyway I just hope someone an/will help your Rickey qqa

I used to love going to this place. But it has turned into a cesspool of homeless people everywhere. The parking lot on Broadway has a lot of illegal activities going on in it. People are selling and smoking drugs. Condoms are on the ground everywhere in the parking lot and on the street from prostitution. People are camping out in their cars, smoking and doing drugs. The parking lot smells like marijuana, urine, and dog poop. We who live here can’t even park at the park because the people sleeping in their cars have taken over the entire lot in the front and back, and around it. When families want to go there to play a game, they have to park in our neighborhoods, taking up all the parking spaces. Multiple homeless people are camping out at the lunch tables. Which needs to be sanitized and washed. They got all their junk and belongings all over the tables. It looks a mess. People are living in tents after hours. Starting campfires. Guys hanging out of the cars, catcalling women jogging around the park. A bunch of guys are looking like they are playing cards at 2 am behind the gym and tennis courts. This place used to be a nice place to go to. It still is. The park generally looks nice and has a lot of activities going on in it. They just need to get rid of the bad element that is messing it up for us residents & families who can’t even enjoy it. They need to close up the park at night because a lot of illegal fires and other stuff go on in it. The bathrooms are cleaned in the morning but during the day, good luck.

If you’re an avid tennis player, don’t bother coming here. The courts are locked, and every time we’ve come by to check and see if maybe they’ve finally opened them, no changes. I understand that for safety you may need to lock them, but hey, it would be nice to let the community know we permanently can’t use them anymore, OR if there’s an easy way to contact someone to unlock them. The public low key have a right to these courts unless it’s been otherwise explicitly stated by the park why we can’t use them. I can’t really support my local park if some parts are off limits for no reason, you know?
