Park: #6/50 Date: 8/26/26…read more My goal for now til the end of the year is to review 50 parks. We frequent new parks and I hate when I can't find any updated photos for them so that's how I started my instagram @thatabcsquad to share. And now I'd like to contribute to Yelp as well. I've been eyeing this park for a while now because of the splash pad but have been waiting to go bc their website says the splash pad is closed indefinitely. A friend passed by and said the splash pad was up and running with a ribbon cutting on 7/10/26 so we had to go check it out for ourselves. Even though I was still nervous it was closed, we took the chance and I'm so glad we did! The playground is on the smaller end but so cute! They have a tiny playground for the smaller kiddos and a bigger one for the older kids. They have a little insect/buts scavenger hunt that my son loved. Now for their splash pad! Such a beautiful design and so many different areas where water falls out for the kids to explore! And love the little splash in the corner for the little ones! Very impressed with this splash pad design!! And for free at a local park?! Freaking amazing! Restrooms were very clean as well!! I was throughly surprised! Def one to check out in the summertime to be able to make use of everything!

I don't mind the raspado, elotero, and paletero because they are not next to the play ground. They usually stand by the baseball filed. Hell, I even like the Hot Dog and Fruit Lady, but the ladies, right next to the playground with hundreds of toys are not right. lol. What if, you have no money and you take your little one and they keep begging for a toy? Plus is makes the park look even more like Mini TJ. Just saying. Besides this, I enjoy coming and walking around the track. Nothing else to say about this place.

Thank you for a wonderful time at this years event on 6/17/23. The only disappointment was Luciano…read morewho I now understand is a coach for your facility. He made a huge scene that I witnessed and then asked staff to no longer serve the person he verbally harassed. It was disturbing and the fact that he coaches at your facility is the only reason why I felt the need to Yelp. He should be thoroughly investigated based on what was witnessed by not only myself but other staff, participants and attendees. Beyond this disturbing and unnecessary event where your staff harassed a young girl and her family, it was a great time!!

The space was spacious for the event and parking plentiful right there between the grass patches that we were using. People can also park along the street and I noticed there's allot of people coming and going so allot of opportunities for distraction to practice with your dog.

I've been visiting for a year on a weekly basis. One thing to be mindful for are the horse scat droppings that some horse riders apparently are careless to pick after. I've walked during the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening time. I've felt safe during all times of day and even bring my family on weekends.

JUMBO SUPER DUPER park and rec center.... There's so much to do and enjoy... I feel bad I don't…read morestop by more unless there's a food truck favorite nearby. There's plenty of shade as well as wide open spaces for sun. There is a homeless population here, but they are pretty cluster in one place usually near the chess tables near the recreation center building. The park extends down a huge block and breaks up extending from Chandler to Riverside Drive all the way down Tujunga Ave alongside the 170 Fwy. A great place for families, friends, kids and everyone really. They've held some community events here... Even a small Lgbtq+ pride celebration in the past. While street parking goes fast there are some small lots if you plan out your day early. A lot of people walk their dogs and through the ball here... plenty of nature to enjoy and take in.... I haven't taken any classes at this location, but might consider signing up for activities when restrictions are fully lifted.

Where do I begin...For background info, I've been a regular- occasional tennis player at these…read morecourts and generally know of the people around here. Pros: -Good number of courts. Six courts and they are all lighted!! -Courts aren't totally trashed. May find abandoned tennis metal lids, leftover snacks, and a trail of ants near the benches but get cleaned at some point. -Useable filtered water fountain that has come in handy during hot days -I've been safe. There are homeless in daytime but they do gather around and prowl at night. On a random night, I played here close to midnight- 2am and I wasn't bothered. Cons: -Super long wait times to get a court -a lot of homeless. I've never been harmed or too bothered. I've had a few flashes of unclothed people. -The ambiance can be a bit whack depending on the type of people around. You've got normal people just wanting to play tennis, old folks that play here all the time and want to coach you, coaches expecting you to leave the court mid-game so they can do their private lessons (which is not allowed because I called the city and coaches need a permit to hold lessons here! Only 1 coach has a permit and he's at the last court, always). Players who yell, cuss, and play explicit loud music on their speaker... -Real world vibe. I've had a few arguments at these courts too which has caused me to not come as much/ call the city. I normally keep to myself and only come here to practice by myself since it's most convenient.

I usually just go for walks around the park here or nearby en route for coffee or an adventure to get out of the house. They have some outdoor standing equipment for exercise like the Sherman Oaks/Van Nuys location between Hazeltine and Van Nuys Blvd off Huston Street. This is a good location for some outdoor sports and activities though some scheduled games might take up this public space. While there are some great shady trees there isn't an abundance of natural grass. A good place to walk your dog, although the fields are mostly astroturf/artifical grass nowadays. Some limited parking in the lot, but usually tons on the street. The recreation aspect is currently not fully functioning to my knowledge at the time, however the YMCA is just within walking distance as well and I think they've done some joint programs together in the past.

There was also a ton of shade, which was great for us, and plenty of walkways for rollerblading or going for a stroll. They also have a large playground for kids, bathrooms, and courts for tennis as well. The park is very clean, and everyone I encountered was polite and friendly.

I came here for the Memorial Day ceremony. I had never been to this park before and didn't know it…read morehad memorial plaques for people in our city who died in various wars. The ceremony included reading each of their names out loud and placing a rose on the plaque that matched the war they died in. WWII had the most roses and deaths. They had one of the fire trucks lift up a huge American flag next to the regular sized flags of the branches of our military which surround a pilar with a live flame. There was also a live band, singers, and flybys by planes in formation. It was a very solemn and respectful ceremony to honor those who died on duty. After the ceremony, I stayed at the park for a bit longer laying a towel on the grass under a tree. I don't know if it was just the spot I picked, but even though it was really grassy, underneath it was really muddy, like when I finally got up my towel was soaked through and so was my back. Then I got lost trying to find where I parked because the park is bigger than it looks and has 3 parking lots. I thought there was only 1, so I didn't pay that much attention when I walked towards the ceremony. When I tried getting back to my car I honestly thought it might have been towed. Now I know there's a parking lot by the building that leads to the swimming pool, another next to the swimming pool itself so you can actually see the water, and the last one is next to the tennis courts and baseball field. This doesn't include the parking spots all around the perimeter of the park. The park is clean, has plenty of playgrounds for children, tables and benches to eat at, and a public restroom. It's not the quietest of parks, though, since there are so many children and it's next to a busy intersection, like during the ceremony a trash truck and a random car honked their horns in support of the ceremony. Otherwise, it really is a nice park with plenty of amenities.
