I absolutely love this hidden park that's in a nice neighborhood in El Segundo. It's clean, fun and…read moreyou get to see airplanes take off every few minutes which kid doesn't love that. Their climbing structures are great for bigger kids and they have cool features as well like a chalk board and cool climbing added as well. They have swings as well for the little ones and big kiddos. Their little house they have for the toddlers is great and so fun featuring a small slide. The only down fall to this park is there is no bathroom but overall it's a fun park to visit for sure! There are benches and nice grassy area to hang or have a snack.

There's a playground for older kids, a playground for younger kids and a huge open field. The bathrooms were surprisingly very very clean. I was very surprised. I thought it was going to be something where I had to hold my breath for 3 minutes. Use the bathroom, wash my hands and head out. But it was extremely clean. They have a giant fire pit. No one started a fire there, but it looks like that would be a pretty big bonfire. I would come by again if I was in the area. Good job El Segundo

Ahhhhh! Westchester Park (formally known as Westchester Recreation Center), is an absolute jewel…read moreand wholly underappreciated recreation area in the City of Los Angeles's excellent park system, and I love this place, and I visit daily. Though I have to admit I live four blocks away so I'm an unreserved, totally bias supporter. Even with my personal bias for Westchester Park, the facility offers more fun stuff than most of LA's city parks including but not limited to: Golf, Tennis, Public Pool, Library, Softball and Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Picnic Area, Senior Center, After School Programs, Wednesday Farmers Market, and a great little Skate Park. And that's just scratching the surface of what makes the this park wonderful. It is close to LAX so I guess that is why it is somewhat underappreciated, but like the Westchester neighborhood in general, the park is swiftly changing. Westchester is no longer an out of the way sleepy LA suburb. It has transformed into one of the hottest area's in the city, and for better or worse that's what's up here. Some come and enjoy it while you can, just keep it chill, since I have to work tomorrow.

The park offers a small soccer field with access to two goals. Hit or miss because the area is also used for teams pick-up games. Having access to the field is challening because you don't know when the field will be off limits. There is a kids play area close by and trails to work. Bathrooms available as well (single person). Park is clean and free street parking available - not a lot. If you want a space to play soccer or access to a kid play area in a safe and crowd less area, say less and head to Playa Vista Sports Park.

That said, they do have a really nice observation area with telescopes. The kids especially loved watching the airplanes! Because of the amazing view, we even spotted a small airplane museum nearby--and had to check it out. I did 2 photos from there.

It is so close that you can practically smell the jet fuel as they pass by. With planes arriving every 10-15 minutes, the spectacle is constant. It's a perfect place to kill time while waiting for an airport pickup or to simply enjoy an In-N-Out burger.

The entire park, including the library building, covers only one square block, but what a lovely space it is. So, in this town square with old shade trees and a band stand are benches with dedication/memorial plaques. This is just a simple nice/clean park. The concert series was really fun.

Mayberry, as it's across the street from the high school. And the HS itself is a magnificent old brick building. This is a town full of treasures. So. When was the last time you saw a park with a band stand? How very cool. It's Library Park's crowning glory, as there are no sports facilities.......just beautiful areas designed to be eye candy. Like the rose garden. The entire park, including the library building, covers only one square block, but what a lovely space it is. The sports fields, basketball courts, and playground are behind the school just west of Library Park (see photo), allowing the central park to remain pristine. So, in this town square with old shade trees and a band stand are benches with dedication/memorial plaques. As I review more and more parks, I find myself pausing to read the words. And I have discovered that beautiful sentiments are found in parks. Such as the one on the bench in Library Park that reads "Meet me in the garden, Gardener Bob". Who knew that reviewing parks would become a spiritual journey? I thought I was just out seeking exercise. I found much, much more. And I have only just begun.

It does have a nice kiddie pool, playground and shaded tables with adjacent street parking. Above average cute little park.

It has shaded area in front on Grand w/picnic tables, grills in between tables & trash cans, although in one of my pics, you'll see that they aren't being used like they're suppose be. Playground area w/slide & swings and a nice community pool on the other side on Maryland. If I had small kids, I'd would've brought them here, simply for the area it's in, nice, safe family community, parks serenity, shaded areas w/a cool breeze and I always see the Police patrolling by. But there's Recreation park for more activities for the wee ones, of course you've also got ES beach and nearby Polliwog Park (Ok not nearby, but worth the drive) to venture off to with the family. But I must say this town offers a lot of activities for the kiddies, I don't know all of them because my kids are grown up now :(. Anyhow, you can see Rancho Palos Verdes from one side and if you walk around other side of water tower, you can see LAX planes (that's pretty much the whole city) & West LA from there.
