We came by to watch a Little League game a couple of weekends ago. This is a well maintained park with a nice playground area. The bleachers near the baseball field were typical of the other Redondo Beach parks...comfortable enough to sit on for a couple of hours. But no shade, so wear a hat and sunglasses. There was an enclosed senior center also. Didn't get to see inside, but it's a nice benefit for the residents. read more

One of my favorite go to parks. I've been to Anderson Park a few time for picnics. It's a giant park with lots of space. It has a playground for kids as well as several tennis courts. Parking can easily fill up on the street but they also have parking towards the back side of the park. read more

This is a great little family friendly park and my family and I will travel here (and also stop at the local coffee spot - Lavender & Honey https://www.yelp.com/biz/lavender-and-honey-redondo-redondo-beach). There is a "big" kid park, and also a fenced in toddler park. There are lots of shady trees, and some benches - however some of the benches are in the sun, I would highly recommend bringing a fold up chair. The park has a lot of green grassy fields and boasts the cleanest park/ "public" restrooms that I have ever seen. I love this park, and hope to spend many more sunny summer days there. read more

Loved this park! It has a massive play structure that includes all sorts of climbing and agility activities including rock climbing. There are 2 sets of swings - 2 bucket and 2 regular. The play structure has a large shaded canopy. There's also a smaller play structure in an enclosure for the little ones. Lots of benches all over the park. Green grassy areas. Restrooms. read more

This is our favorite park hands down! They have a toddler section for ages 2-5 which is perfect for littles. It's very clean and quiet.

Big park with nice fenced in play structure for the younger ones. Only complaint is that the slide on the big structure has been closed off for months...please help get this fixed city planners!! read more

Anderson Park in Redondo Beach is excellent for families. The relatively new playgrounds cater to all age groups, offering a variety of equipment. Really liked the climbing walls and safety features of playgrounds. Plus, there's ample parking, making it very convenient. Perfect for a day out! read more

Very small park, great jungle gym for kids. Very nice neighborhood. But I'm not coming back here.

I really like this park and so does my little guy. The park is big and the play area are great for older kids and the littles. However, often time kid are here with the nanny/sitter and they are not really watching the kids. The kids will often do things kids do when no one is watching them, if you're a parent you k ow what I mean. They'll be mean to others, don't share the common toys and spaces ect. read more

Very well kept park, good restrooms, most important. Good pickleball courts. Wind picks up in the afternoon and no court lights

This park was recently remodeled and is fantastic. They have a huge playground structure for kids up to middle school age and then a great little tot lot. Both have rock climbing walls, slides, bridges. The big kids area has a lot of neat things to climb and play wih that I have not seen anywhere. I'm not sure if the city plans to remodel the benches around the park, which are older and weathered. If they did, this place would be perfect! read more

Anderson Park - Parks Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Anderson Park is a nice facility, especially for kids. There's 2 play area sections for younger kids and older kids. They have a covered bench area for parents to sit, watch and wait as well. Anderson Park is next to the Redondo Little League baseball field as well as Lincoln Elementary School, and I think the baseball field converts to a soccer field, but am not sure if it's accessible to the public or if it's private. Anderson Park does have 2 tennis courts, a single hoop basketball court, and some grassy areas along with the playground area. It's well kept and the clientele who visit are family friendly and respectable as well as respectful in a nice, polite sense. It's a good neighborhood recreation area. read more

I'm here twice a day almost everyday..Picking up or dropping off my friend's kids, AND for my short walks and fresh air for my lungs. It's big, and we love having our summer BBQ here! I grew up here and remembering the days at Lincoln middle school and our after school at this park. They'd remodeled this park a few years ago and it looks so much better. We love the tennis courts!! read more

We are so lucky that this park is literally two blocks from our home. It's a gem of the community. My daughter has been visiting this park since she was 15 months and now at almost 3 she still loves it. She has made 3 best friends at the park and they would get together every day with their nannies/grandmothers while the moms were at work. Many of the reviews talk about how amazing the facilities at this park are and that is definitely true. But the quality of the people at this park is its true gift to the community. Everyone is super friendly and from the neighborhood. I have several friends that I have now made from the park and our families have really clicked, especially the children. The park itself is beautiful with a couple of paths criss-crossing from Rindge to Vail (the park itself is on Ernest). There are a lot of picnic benches in the grassy areas where there is a birthday party with a jumper almost every weekend. Large trees and large canopies built into the play structures provide ample shade (unlike Polliwog in MB which gets really hot in the sun). The play ground is split into two areas. One for toddlers that is gated and one for older kids. It's true that there are only 4 swings - 2 toddler swings and 2 regular swings and that the wait for them can sometimes get ridiculous. On the east side of the park closer to Vail there is a half basketball court, the boys/girls scout facilities, and a large grassy area that is used for soccer classes. Redondo parks and recreation offers a soccer program for children as young as 2 years old through their Tiny Pros class. My daughter and her park friends attended the class and it was reasonably priced. It's really nice that this park is able to accommodate so many activities and that it is so family friendly. There are also two tennis courts on the North end of the park. They are first come first serve and the city also offers tennis lessons here. Both courts have lighting and are frequently used in the early evening hours. The park also has restrooms and they are relatively clean. I have seen maintenance people working on them at times and the facilities are kept up. The play ground structure is washed down every Wednesday. In sum, this is my favorite park in the South Bay and I am so lucky that it is close to our house and that my kids can grow up with wonderful childhood memories here. read more

Anderson Park - The larger play structure - Parks Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Foreword: I only used the south end field to play some pick up soccer. The grass and overall upkeep of this park is fairly poor. Trash. Patchy grass/dirt. That crabgrass that is impossible to play sports in. Rocks every now and then. There are things that can be fixed. You'll have to mind the little kids play league soccer - hey they need a safe place to play. I just wish they had a place with some better upkeep. read more

Nice big park with lots of open space. The baseball field is rarely in use so there's plenty of grass to roam around on. There are only two tennis courts there, but they are lit for night time play. Lots of kids and nannies at the playground on a daily basis, and lots of birthday parties on the weekends. read more

Can smokers stop loitering cigarette buds at the park? There are kids at the park that may accidentally pick up your crap that you leave. You wouldn't want others to loiter your house so don't do it to public parks. Use common sense. Note to park staff, please pay attention to cleanliness of the park and start handing out fines to people that loiter especially cigarette buds. It's disgusting and nasty. read more

Great park to keep kids active! 2 cool monkey bars Lots of slides Rock climbing Spinners And lots more! read more

As close as this park is to my house, I always seem to talk myself into taking the kids elsewhere. It's unfortunate, as this is the very same park I grew up in as a little girl... I'm sad to see many parents are just not watching their children. We have very aggressive bullying and generally rude behavior exhibited by the kids who play here, and parents who are either completely absent, or defending their children's behavior. Ridiculous... I find myself avoiding this place on weekends when it's crowded. But lately there is little reason to go, as the kids have quickly damaged the play areas, and he two main slides have been closed off for months. read more

Nice park with a playground for little kids and a playground for bigger kids. Double tennis courts....sign up for community tennis lessons! The courts are lighted up at night too. Really nice family location and one of my favorite parks read more

This park is hidden in Redondo Beach. Well, to me because I just barely found out about it even though I've lived all my life locally lol. You know when you take a wrong turn on a small street and you keep going trying to find your way back? It's one of those turns that takes you to this park. Well for me that is. My family and I were invited to a birthday party and it was held at this park. We love the little toddler playground area (perfect for my 2 yrs old son) and it's gated. There's also the big kid's playground right next to it. They don't have a lot of swings, only 2 regular swings and 2 toddler swings. They have a few benches around the playground area, so you can sit and watch your little ones play. But I love it, because it's not that packed like the other big parks that we normally go to. So this park is perfect. Now I take my kids here every now and then when we're nearby and we love it. It's a really nice park. read more

This is a wonderful park and worth a little drive to get to. It has large grassy fields, picnic tables, and 2 separate play areas. It is well shaded for those hot days. The toddler area is gated, but the gate is low and any 2 year old can easily open it. This area is small and consists of a "rock" wall, small slides, an even smaller slide, monkey bars and a structure. The larger play area for older kids is great. There are several rock climbing walls, ladders, large slides, rope wall, rope bridge, amongst the offerings. There are 2 big kid swings and 2 baby swings. This park is very popular and can get crazy in the afternoon. I prefer the morning which is populated, but not overpopulated. read more

It doesn't take long to see why this park is so popular. Anderson Park is well lit, easily accessible, and pretty big for the area. There are restroom facilities nearby, tennis courts, open grassy areas, and of course a huge playground. I haven't used the facilities, but they appear clean. Much better than a random portapotty, certainly. I've seen people doing yoga or picnicking in the grass, and the playground is legit. The area is covered with that spongy foam padding, which keeps falls from being as abrasive or painful for kids. My favorite aspect is the way the playground is divided into "big kids" and "little kids" sections. These areas are separated by a small chain length fence with a childproof gate latch. This way big kids don't trample the little, clumsier guys and they little kids in turn, stay out of their way. The playground must be pretty new because it has elements I've never seen used before, like a fake rock climbing wall and a section with built-in musical instruments. I guess my only complaint would be that they should have more swings. It's crazy how many parents/nannies stand around stalking the 2 existing safety swings so their toddler can get their turn. Really nice park though. read more

This park was awesome! My daughter is still 1 so she needs somebody to "climb" and slide with her though likes to try everything herself. The ground is soft and spongy in case kids fall which makes me worry about her slightly less haha. The equipment is new and clean, and the park has ample space for kids to run, play ball, ride bikes.. Whatever! There's also a ton of parking all around which is always key. I can't wait to bring her back here!! read more

Cool spot. We were home hunting in the area and the kid needed to get some energy out. Nice people and a pretty awesome playground. Easy parking too, but maybe that's because I am just used to West LA's absolute lack of parking. Good for kids 2+. read more

This is a lovely and large park in North Redondo. There are two main play structures. A huge play structure for older kids (4+) and then a smaller fenced in area for the younger kids. The younger kid area is very shaded. Pretty much any time of the day you're guaranteed shade from the beautiful tall eucalyptus trees. There are a bunch of benches to sit on right outside of the fenced in area. The main play area is huge. Tons of slides, rock wall type climbing things, etc. My 7 and 8 year old boys like to pretend they are on American Ninja Warriors when they use the equipment. There are 2 regular swings and 2 baby swings at the park. Tennis courts, bathrooms, large grassy areas, picnic tables, and bathrooms. We come here multiple times per week! read more

My favorite park for kids with Polliwog as a close 2nd favorite. Squishy rubber mat type flooring instead of wood chips/rubber tire chunks. Two playground structures for older and younger kids (fenced in) with rock climbing wall areas multiple slides. There are 2 baby swings and 2 regular swings. Benches to sit on nearby as well as picnic tables and public restrooms. No BBQ pits though. Lots of parking. read more

I love it because it has a gate for the little ones and a really cool interesting park for the bigger kids. Plus there's a lot of seating in both shade in the sun. No need to bring blankets! read more

One of my new favorite parks! Residential parking and some covering over the structures. Great little kid area that is fenced in and a older kid area. The ground is spongy which is great if you aren't fond of the sand. It's typically pretty busy on the weekends. But a hidden gem if you've never been! read more

This park is on my son's and my regular rotation, along with parks that are much closer to our home. It is by far my favorite. The play structures are complex, sprawling and imaginative. They contain many unique element. But the park's most outstanding feature is how it manages flow. Different age groups are well separated. In other parks (e.g. Perry) older kids regularly invade younger kids' areas with flying balls, fast-rolling razors, or in a wild game of tag. You have to play superman to your toddler's Lois almost every time. At Anderson Park, by contrast, the youngest kids are in an enclosed area buffered on all sides and separated from the "big kid" structure by picnic tables. The open playing fields and concrete steps are on the outskirts and never interfere with kids playing in the structures. Everyone can do their thing and go wild in a safe environment. read more

Great park with an awesome half basketball court, although it can be a littered with leaves in the fall.

Nice large park situated behind Lincoln Elementary School. Includes tables and benches, 2 tennis courts, basketball court and big and little kid play structure. Summer and weekends are a bit more crowded, but it's never full. There is a parking lot with entry on Ferrell and Vail and plenty of street parking. read more

We love the play area at this park. The tot area is fenced off, which is great! Our little one likes to run around, and the fence allows us to keep a good eye on her. The playground is also in a pretty shaded area, so the slide never gets too hot. Weekends and after work are probably the peak hours for this playground. On the weekends, I see a lot of people who have birthday parties at this park. I think you are allowed to rent a bounce house and have it delivered here. There are no grills and I don't think they allow you to use one here. One thing to note, is that the cops around here LOVE to give out tickets for small non-traffic infractions (jaywalking, skateboards, dogs, etc). We got a ticket here for having our dog on the grass on the border of the park and it cost us $200+. But other than that, its a great park! read more

Fantastic park with brand new, fun play structures, and lots of grass. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for the baseball coaches who think it is acceptable to hold batting practice right next to a birthday party with young children. A stray ball hit a child in the face, and they were not only unapologetic, but rude about it?! read more

This is an outstanding recreational facility for families in North Redondo and beyond. Plenty of open space for running and playing. Sheltered picnic tables and benches for grownups and specially cushioned play areas for kids - a larger one with a big well-designed play structure on it, and a smaller one for toddlers. The no-bikes rule near the play structures keep things safe and uncluttered for playing children and their caretakers. It's clean and safe, with ample parking. Ice cream trucks come by. The trees often shelter nesting pairs of Cooper's hawks, and other birds fly through. Drinking fountains and bathrooms (the bathrooms are not fancy, but clean and usable). Families from Lawndale, Hawthorne, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, El Segundo and Redondo Beach use this park, because it's such a great place to hang. read more

Large play structure in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Definitely on the newer side of things. Also shade for parents, which is a plus. There's a parking lot and plenty of street parking. Also bathroom stalls but bring soap or hand sanitizer. read more

Wonderful park near our house. Very much a neighborhood place. It has two pay areas, one for older kids and a fences one for little ones. Plenty of shade and benches. Not too close to any major roads so it feels very safe. read more

I love this park! I grew up here. I used to hide in the bubble when it was here. But gotta say since moving back to Redondo this is a must go park for me and my children! We love all the trees, the big open grass areas, the big kid playground and the little kid playground with monkey bars! They also have tennis courts! And I must say that for a public restroom they are always clean. read more

Really nice park tucked away in a neighborhood in the North Redondo/Manhattan Beach area. There are 2 nice, clean play structures. A larger one for the bigger kids and a smaller, fenced in one for the littles ones. Also has tennis courts and an amphitheater/stage. Lots of shady areas. Good amount of street parking as well as a parking lot. read more
