    Dog Bite
    Brian F.

    There is an official dog park on the property, but no one uses it. Instead they use the baseball fields where kids are trying to have baseball practice. Last week while watching my younger son in the outfield, my older son was pursued unprovoked by two dogs off leash and bit seriously in his right leg. We had to go ER and he is now on antibiotics. The recreation center has been responsive, but don't seem to have the enforcement backing of DeLeon and LAPD. It's sad that our tax dollars support a fenced in dog area that very few people use and instead use an area designed for youth sports while kids get bit by dogs of indifferent owners who don't seem to care.

    Santana Concert in the Park

    Concerts in the Park, Eagle Rock Park. 6:00 to 8:30 07/14/19 Bring a blanket and start early. That's what we did, brought some food and drinks and spend the day. The band was a tribute to Santana. They were very good and looked the part. Lot's of friendly people and dogs. Come early for a good place to park. Next concert 07/21/19 The Jersey Boys tribute.

    Chilling out on the grass.

    Seems like a park. Could use some benches in the shade. Not sure if they have public restrooms. Many families seem to come here and there are swings and slides for the little kids to enjoy. By the parking lot and the kids' swings seem pretty nice but lower down, where it's closer to the freeway, there are a lot of homeless tents.

    West Nile virus at this park...
    Rajiv S.

    I usually like coming here. It's a little secluded park in a residential Eagle Rock neighborhood. There are tennis courts, a nice playground for kids, ample picnic areas, and four softball fields. The downside is that the grass on the fields is never really cut and peppered with holes which can lead injuries. With a little more up keep this place could be a gem. Recently (on 9/22/12) I visited the park to be greeted with signs posted that the West Nile Virus had been confirmed at this park. So much for coming here again... Score before West Nile - 3.5 stars Score after West Nile - 1 star.

    Ask the Community - Eagle Rock Recreation Center

    Does anyone know if the fields are accessible again? It's been a month now and I wasn't sure how long this usually takes?

    yes its accessible, but keep your dogs leashed please unless youre in the official dog park. There is no "unofficial" dog park in the field unless you want to be 1 of the hundreds of inconsiderate people that unleash their dogs in the field.

    We finally experienced the free Shakespeare performances in Griffith Park, and it was so much more…read morethan just a play--it was a whole summer evening experience. People arrive early with blankets, picnic baskets, snacks, and drinks, creating such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere before the show even begins. A few tips from our experience: There is a large free parking lot, and it's well organized with bright signs leading you all the way to the performance area. Even though it was our first visit, finding the venue wasn't difficult--it just felt like a fun little adventure! Even on a Wednesday, the crowd was surprisingly large, so arriving early is definitely worth it. (Independent Shakespeare Co.) Bring a blanket, but don't forget a small cushion! The performance lasts over two hours, and sitting on the ground can get uncomfortable. If you're bringing folding chairs, please sit toward the back so everyone can enjoy the view. There is a 20-minute intermission, giving you plenty of time to stretch your legs, grab a snack, or refill your tea. It gets much cooler after sunset, so bring a light jacket or something warm to throw over your shoulders. A thermos of hot tea is a great idea too. Feel free to bring food and drinks, but be prepared to share your picnic with a few curious bees and other insects. There is a portable restroom on-site, and if it's locked, the access code is 3343. The production quality really impressed us. Professional lighting, excellent sound, microphones--it honestly felt like watching a performance in a real theater, just under the stars. Video recording isn't allowed during the performance, so you can simply relax and enjoy the moment. The host also shared some exciting news--they're building a brand-new stage nearby, and there's a good chance next season's performances will take place there. We'll definitely be back in August for The Comedy of Errors. If you're looking for one of the most unique free summer experiences in Los Angeles, this is one I highly recommend.

There are so many trails and areas of the park that it would take several days to cover it all. On this visit I attended a fund raising concert for Rock for Ronnie next door to the Autry Museum of the American West. Parking is free and there were many trees to shade some of us from the hot sun.

    Background On Visit: Last Sunday (4/12/26), the venue hosted the Pasadena Festival Of Tea. We were…read moreone of the participants for this event. Hours Of Operation: They welcome visitors to the garden on many Friday and Saturday evenings and during the day on Sundays. You can check out their schedule of events and admission cost on their website: https://japanesegardenpasadena.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/japanesegardenpasadena/event.jsp?;=&event=1612& Admission Cost: Mostly, $15 on Friday and Saturday. Sunday, it's $12. For other events, they post the cost on their website. Location/Parking: Located across from the Arlington Gardens (Free). It's kinda hidden, but just use the gps on your phone to guide you. Parking can be found along Arlington. For special events, they encourage you to park at Westridge School (Orange Grove and W. State St.) and walk up to Storrier Stearns. Ambiance/Decor: The Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden is a beautiful and charming retreat with a quiet and tranquil elegance. The place is small which contains many of the much admired design features found in the most lavish of Japanese-style gardens of its era. As Kendall Brown states in his book, California Japanese-style Gardens, "this is the genius of Kinzuchi Fujii: this was once a flat area of two tennis courts; now it is a masterwork. 1) Classic Niko-an Teahouse, the garden landscape offers a variety of other beautiful details. 2) Numerous gathering points, seating areas & vistas 3) Four original bridges plus the original cedar log Japanese Waiting Bench 4) Two large interconnected, irregularly shaped koi ponds 5) The sounds of two waterfalls, one cascading down a 25-foot hill 6) An artful dry riverbed for rain overflow winding through the garden 7) Cooling shade everywhere from spreading sycamores & old oaks 8) Many tons of boulders & stones 9) Granite statuary & stone lanterns Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to re-center myself. I did a have nice time.

    Perfect hike for a hot day…read more I love waterfall hikes and listening to the sound of calm, running water. The added challenge on these hikes is the multiple stream crossings. I brought some hiking poles which helped with balance and probing for loose rocks and logs. If you want to get parking in the lower lot, it's best to come before 8AM. We found parking in the second lot. An Adventure Pass or Day Pass is required. Parking is enforced. A car received a ticket for being in a No Parking zone. The start of the trail is nicely shaded. The second half is a hilly, narrow, sun exposed path which routes back into the canyon toward the Lower Switzer Falls. I'm glad they had fencing on some narrow and steep parts of the trail. We encountered an active rattlesnake which headed down the mountain, so be on the lookout. Overall, the hike takes about 3 hours for 5.5 miles. The additional hike back up to the parking lot was about 1/4 of a mile. Note: if you need to use the restroom, it's best to bring your own toilet paper and to go before you start your hike. It was kind of smelly, but if you gotta go... you gotta go.

    This place is great for fully appreciating nature! The trail is around 5-5.5 miles round trip,…read moredepending on where you park. What impressed me most about this trail is that it's almost fully covered by shade. We went in the late afternoon, and I'd say probably 80-85% of it is covered. Very impressive! Here are some useful tips: 1. There are three parking lots: two are next to the highway, and one is near the hiking entrance. I'd recommend getting a parking pass if possible. 2. There are only three restrooms at the beginning of the trail, so use them when you see them. 3. If you're aiming to go to the waterfall, make sure to look for the signs. Some signs aren't very clear, so we had to stop and ask other hikers frequently. Luckily, people there are super friendly and happy to help. Just pay attention to your surroundings. 4. The trail is dog-friendly, but dogs must be on a leash. 5. Waterproof hiking boots are recommended. All in all, it's a fun trail. It's a great place for a picnic and camping, and it's very close to the stream. Great for kids, families, and pets!
