Big, beautiful shady trees?!?!?! Check!!!!! Perfect blanket-sprawling real estate?!?!?!? Also check!!!!! It's the kind of spot that makes you forget the weather might flip on you in 20 minutes, so you eat, lounge, and live your best picnic life while the sun is also feeling fabulous!!

This park is large…read moreand was able to host many booths, a stage, a VIP area and a play area with inflatable slides, etc. This didn't even take up half of the park! They also had an In-N-Out truck in the parking lot. There's lots of trees surrounding the park and the grass was green and well taken care of. It's an ideal place to hold an event or have a picnic or birthday party.

I've been visiting Smith Park recently to walk my puppy. It's not a big park but there's a few…read moreamenities that's popular among the locals such as the pool, tennis court and more. I find Smith Park to have nicer grass. Especially if they just cut them. The park is clean and I do run into a few dogs walkers. It's a decent spot and you can easily find street parking.

The two most popular areas were the pickle ball courts and the hand ball courts (I think there was a tournament when we were there), there was also a pool, nice big green field and some kid's areas.

It gets crowded, so toddlers may enjoy nearby Primrose Park. A major plus is that the bathrooms are located inside the air-conditioned community center. The shaded benches are a bit far from the play area, so keep that in mind. Overall, it's a great spot with plentiful parking, a nice walking loop, and well-maintained pickleball courts.

My partner and I really enjoy coming here to play pickleball nowadays. There are 8 permanent courts. The courts are super busy on weekend mornings and less busy on weekdays. The queue system is fair and efficient. I only wish they would keep the pickleball courts open until later. They usually close around 8pm, which seems kind of early. In my opinion, this is one of the cleaner and better-maintained parks in the area. There is a pleasant walking path. I always see people walking their dogs here and families coming here for a stroll around the park. There are parking lots on both sides of the park, as well as plenty of street parking all around. However, when there are events going on at the park, parking can be a bit difficult.

It's been a while since I came to this park but my friend suggested to come because on a Saturday…read moreafternoon, the other parks we've been to were crowded. The parking was plenty at 11:30am, I parked on the street instead of the north lot. The first playground was on a hill and another on the corner southeast side across the pool/skatepark. They had sand around the play structure and swings, so be careful with sand everywhere. Restrooms are open, they have a couple spread out the park. Great park, plenty of benches to sit and shade in most areas depending on the time!

Plenty to do besides walking, basketball, swimming, playing sports on the greens, skate (skate park), and many more! Hubby & I pass by this park almost daily since we stayed at an Airbnb for about 3 months just a few blocks away. Before 6 am, I see many residents walking already. At night I see many also play basketball at the courts. It sort of reminds me of Cerritos' Liberty Park. The walking/running area has the soft cement just like Liberty Park, easy on the feet. There's a playground for children. The grass is lush & green. We parked on the street, free. There is a designated parking lot for this park. I can see Hubby & I doing our walks here. Great park. The swim gym has 12 lanes. Will look into whatever else they offer when I visit it during the day time hours.

The playground is great for kids, with plenty of space to run around, and there are shaded areas that make it comfortable even on warmer days. I really like how open the park feels with good sightlines, lots of grass, and just enough trees to make it feel peaceful without being crowded. It's also a solid spot for a quick walk, tossing a ball around, or just sitting on a bench and people-watching. Parking is usually easy, and the surrounding neighborhood is calm and friendly. Not a huge destination park, but that's part of the charm. If you're looking for a low-key, family-friendly park in Pasadena, Grant Park is definitely worth checking out.

I guess I didn't really explore this park as much I should have during my first visit, as my memory…read moredid not recall how big the park actually is. And perhaps I was just bothered by how inconspicuous the park entrance is: it's a gate that does not immediately look like the entrance to a park, which is how I missed it the first time I visited over a decade ago. During my recent second visit, I came back with a better appreciation for parks and birds. I did not expect to find any birding lifers here, but I in fact found four in one day. I heard the Green Heron before I saw it, and photographed it without realizing what it was. I just thought it was another Black-Crowned Night Heron, but boy was I delighted to find out later when I was reviewing my photos that it was a Green Heron lifer. The park appears to know it's a great spot for birding as there is signage indicating possible seasonal bird encounters. Perhaps I should stop talking about birds, but I can't help it. Also, "Peck" Road? Birds are the point. It's a large park with a delightful amount of nature to get immersed in. I can't wait to come back for a third visit!

A friend of mine introduced me to this hidden gem a year ago for birding. I recently returned and…read morefell in love with it all over again. This place is a birder's paradise, with its large lakes and blooming flowers, inviting many bird species. I've counted over 20 different species in just a few hours of walking a whole loop. My only complaint is that it was closed the one day I made the long drive out, on a day that it wasn't supposed to be closed. But thankfully there is a cut out on the gate to the side so you can still walk in. You'll just have to park on the street instead of drive in and park inside. So this is just something to watch out for - random closings.
