Reviews
Nice chill park. Great place to walk your dog or take a nice long walk alone. I messed around and caught a triple double on the🏀 courts there too
Super duper cutty, behind the freeway. It’s chill and neighbors usually use it for walking their pets. Sometimes, the kids make art on the freeways sound wall and that could be cool to see.
This is a part that I enjoy even though I I don’t have a dog but that really nice benches and overall is a beautiful part only thing that is kind of unusual they have homeless people living there some of the nicest people in the world and they always have such Treasures my way of helping out of the buying things from them that I need
I use to love walking my dog here. I have a beagle so there’s many different smells for him and he can get tired easily. Recently there is more and more homeless people living there and it makes me uncomfortable walking past them with my dog. But hey they’re planting more trees so that’s a good plus.
Nice park in the heart of the Valley great for walking (wearing your mask)your dog (on a leash) or take a Jog ( during clean air conditions) be fit and mobile .. NOTE. Strong homeless presence on skirt of this particular park so if this makes you uncomfortable bring your pet or a friend when enjoying what it has to offer , plenty of street parking .. (Due to the fires during summer the park observed water shut off ) grounds are looking like fall unusual for So.Cal. but be careful and mindful if smoking ..
