Tan L.A. como puede serlo!…read more Lincoln Park in Lincoln Heights is a little big green, path filled, water encompassed, nature filled slice of Los Angeles and also home to Plaza De La Raza. We decided to mix up our normal weekend strolls as neither of us had been in quite some time. As a native I spent bulk of my time exploring LA as a kid in the late 80s and throughout 90s, before returning in the 2010s and appreciating it as an adult, much like appreciating the wildlife, culture and return to this historic park. We parked near the cultural center and did some nice leisurely strolling taking in just about most of Lincoln Park. People enjoy conversations, their own strolls and even some fishing in the lake. Ducks and birds of so many kinds including Coots, Gooses, Grebes, Mallards and variations of each. We were also able to explore the Plaza De La Raza center which was being cleaned and attended to. The park isn't as lavish as some in LA and the water stream is a bit lackluster compared to parks like Echo Park Lake, but still enjoyable and parking around the park via street Valley Blvd as well as Mission Rd where you'll find the public restrooms. You can also discover the Florence Nightingale Statue on the Valley Blvd side, the sign for it isn't present anymore and like a few parts of Lincoln Park could use some beautification and upkeep. There's a big playground off the Siegl Pl side, not to mention additional parking, tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer fields and picnic tables spaced out throughout the park. Additionally you can find some outdoor fitness equipment and also a skate park! The recreation center is basically like a YMCA with indoor basketball, other various sports, auditorium, classes, events, seasonal happenings and more. It's a surprisingly cool park with lots of hidden things, some more well tended to than others, feels like a refresh is coming soon. Definitely worth checking out Lincoln Park.

What I appreciated was that the park was very clean and well-kept. It's clear the folks who use the skate park really respect the space and keep it tidy for themselves and those that follow. It's good to get there early and be "first" in order to take advantage of the space. There are regulars who have good vibes and are supportive and encouraging of those younger than them. I will bring my kids back.

Garvey Ranch Park (GRP) was recommended for pickleball play by a couple of my work colleagues. You…read moreknow who you are. Thank you! What a hidden gem! GRP features two lighted baseball fields, picnic facilities, restrooms, lighted tennis/pickleball courts, children's playground, a community room, museum and observatory and measures approximately 18 acres. Quite huge park, but you wouldn't know it from first glance. Very clean and well kept. Two parking lots are available. East side of the park on Orange Ave is where you'll find the picnic shelters, larger playground, community room, historical museum, basketball courts and observatory. West side of the park on Alhambra Ave is closer to the smaller playground and larger baseball diamond. As for the 1 full tennis and 1 full tennis + 4 pickleball shared courts, they are located on Orange Ave near the intersection of Orange Ave and Metro Dr. If you're coming from the north on Orange Ave, drive past the entrance of the park and go up the hill just a bit. The courts will be on your right. Very small parking lot in front of the courts. Street parking is also available. Lighted courts are first come first serve. For pickleball, permanent lines are available, but you'll have to bring your own net (BYON). If you plan to bring food/drinks, be careful of ants. They will find them LOL. Our work group had so much fun. We met some new pickleballer friends as well. Definitely a great place to play some amazing pickleball. Thank you GRP!

We fpund the last spot. 3/5 Bathrooms Old and need updating.

Parking can be found along McPherrin or other surrounding streets if you can't find parking. Entertainment: The city usually hosts a decent amount of festivities for the community at this park. Current Events: From May 7 - 10, they're celebrating cinco de mayo (5/7/2026 :5pm to 10pm and Monterey Parks birthday (5/7/2026 to 5/10/2026). Barnes Park Offerings: 1) Pickleball Courts (6) /Tennis (1): 2 month's ago they repaved and installed permanent pickleball nets. There's only one tennis court now... haha Pickleball is taking over! Pickleball courts are closed starting 5/4/2026 to 5/12/2026. Will reopen on 5/13/2026. 2) Baseball/Softball Field 3) Community Center 4) Gymnasium: Indoor basketball and pickleball courts (7pm - 10pm) 5) Restrooms: They're available. Not really clean though. 6) Teqball table: Don't see people use this table to play. I guess I'll watch this on youtube for now. Hopefully, one day.... I'll be able to see this sport in real life. Barnes For Thought: Overall, it's a nice park. Pretty cool that they had enough funding to install permanent pickleball courts. Perhaps the next thing they can fix up is the restrooms.
