The baseball diamonds are well-maintained, and there's a half-court for basketball. Jungle gyms for the little ones, water fountains and clean restrooms all available.

It's a perfect small to medium size park with a sizable kids playground and a handful of picnic tables that are first come first serve. I love that the Parking is right there And very easy to spot what I love the most is how there was disability parking easy to find and that the grassy Hill was not too difficult for my elderly relatives to walk up slowly with their walker, their cane and assisted with the wheelchair so it was good fun for everyone Multiple generations not too hot really good shade and something that could be enjoyed by the older crowd and little kids.

It's time to explore the unseen. Without further ado let's begin the adventure…read more Deukmejian Wilderness Park is a public park which occupies a rugged 709-acre site in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mts at the northernmost extremity of the City of Glendale. There are 10 trails throughout the park which varies in length, elevation and level of difficulty. They are as follows: Le Mesnager loop, Rim of the Valley, Dunsmore Canyon, Vineyard, Mummy Rock, Crescenta View, Cooks Canyon, Haines Canyon, Mt Lukens and Pickens Spur. Moreover, trails on the site provide spectacular views of the Crescenta Valley and the Los Angeles basin. I arrived early morning and decided to do the easy Dunsmore Canyon (elev gain 600 ft) is a mile long with extremely rocky trail; this canyon intersects with Crescenta View, Le Mesnager Loop, Mummy Rock and Vinyard trails. The view was amazing! Dogs are allowed as long as they're on a leash. Public bathroom is available. Parking lot is free albeit limited. Overall, it's a great park to go on a hiking adventure. I highly recommend you visit.

The location is pretty empty as when I was hiking, I didn't see anyone else around when going pretty far into the trail, which made it peaceful and eerily quiet. There's only street parking available, so you have to hope there's some available nearby the trail or you have to park further down the street. Will for sure come back to hike this location again as it's a fairly easy hike.

The park is quite spacious, with scenic trails, lots of greenery, and lovely picnic spots. There's also plenty of free parking, which makes it super convenient.
