I really wanted to like Pan Pacific Park because the location is honestly prime. It's right next to…read moreThe Grove, there's always energy, and on the surface it feels like one of those iconic LA parks that should be thriving. But the second you actually spend time here, especially on a weekend, it turns into something completely different and honestly pretty disturbing. The park gets insanely packed, which already makes everything feel chaotic, but the real issue is the condition of the facilities. The restrooms are beyond unacceptable. Not just "oh it's a public park" bad, but genuinely shocking, like something that makes you stop and question how this is even allowed to stay open. I'm talking about conditions that feel neglected to the point where it's uncomfortable just being nearby, let alone going inside. I went into two different restrooms thinking maybe one was just unlucky... nope, both were equally disgusting. I'll be posting pictures because it honestly doesn't feel believable otherwise. It gives off this weird in-between vibe where you don't know if you're at a city park or some kind of neglected shelter space, and that's not something anyone should feel at a place like this. What really made it worse for me is walking into the recreation building with the basketball and volleyball courts and realizing it's the same story inside. Worn down, under-maintained, and just lacking any sense that the city is actually investing in it. Meanwhile, you literally have the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust right there being renovated and cared for, which just makes the contrast even more frustrating. How is that level of attention happening on one side, but the actual park people use daily feels ignored? It's honestly disappointing because this place has so much potential. The location alone should make it one of the best parks in LA, but instead it feels like it's being left behind. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be coming back. There are just too many other parks where you don't have to deal with this level of neglect.

Other than that its a nice spot off the main street with a small sand track and basically paid or permit parking. Typical for exclusive Beverly Hills sorry.

Saw several families enjoying their afternoon with their kids. As nice as this park is, the location is horrible. Cars are constantly speeding and running red lights, which make it unsafe when walking with kids. Surprised their isn't a cop posted on this corner as the speeding takes placed directly in front of the fire department. The fact that pedestrians have to wait an additional 10 seconds to make sure there isn't a maniac driver ready to run a red is insane.

On Sunday, June 21th, for Father's Day, my whole family went back to Graystone Mansion & Gardens…read more We decided to visit again because the fresh air and all the beautiful trees make it a wonderful place for my parents to take a walk and enjoy some light exercise. We thought it would be great for their health. The scenery is beautiful, the atmosphere is peaceful, the air is fresh, and parking is free, which makes this place even better. One more thing made this visit extra special. The last time we were here, I was disappointed because I couldn't find the pathway lined with tall trees on both sides. This time, I happened to run into a park ranger, and he was incredibly kind and showed me exactly where it was. Thanks to him, I finally found the spot and was able to take some beautiful photos. The gardens here are absolutely gorgeous, and it's such a wonderful place to relax and go for a walk. I always enjoy coming here.

Great mid-sized park on the Eastside of West Hollywood. The park runs vertical on Vista Street from…read moreSanta Monica Blvd; up North to Fountain Avenue. Plummer Park has plenty of open green space with picnic tables throughout for dining or playing board games. Some of the amenities are Tennis Courts with an on-site Tennis Center, several Basketball Courts, a Community Center with an on-site staff, and Fiesta Hall, which is a small auditorium. The park is currently under renovation while adding Pickleball Courts. I feel sorry for the neighbors across the street that have to listen to the annoying sounds of pickleball. There's updated lighting, signage, and furniture throughout the park. At the time of this review, I'm not sure what other renovations are planned. Every Monday there is an open-air Farmers Market. There are about 30 vendors and it's a bit on the pricey side. This market definitely needs a refresh; many of the same farmers/vendors for years. There is plenty of free parking on both ends of the park. The City of West Hollywood does a good job of keeping the park clean and safe. You'll usually see Security Ambassadors in and around the park all day. Plummer Park is definitely family and dog friendly. Blessed to have this jewel close to my home.

BIG WILL: EXCEPTIONAL PLUMMER PARK PORTER…read more I've been visiting Plummer Park for decades. Initially, it was to play basketball. As the years wore on, i frequented it to play and watch tennis, play ping pong, shop at the farmers' market and observe pickleball matches to see what appeals to so many about this "new" sport friendly to all-comers. Big Will, a DMS Porter, has without exception kept the Park clean, including the all-important restrooms which he leaves spotless. Big Will is a huge Dodgers fan. If you see him, ask him to show you the big tatoo that runs the length of his forearm. Plummer Park is lucky to have Big Will on its team!

A small triangle-shaped enclave that offers peaceful respite from some of the busier parts of Beverly Hills, WR Memorial Park is a lovely place to meet up with friends, walk your dog, or sit to practice some moments of mindfulness. He is a small but mighty park in that while you see other people around, you never feel like it's crowded. There is a fountain in the center with small plaques near the encircling benches that detail some of the history of the area. For parking, I suggest checking out Canon Dr. or Beverly Blvd. There is too much traffic on the Sunset Blvd. side for me to feel comfortable trying to maneuver to find parking. Canon Dr. offers 2 hour street parking that is unmetered and a quick walk across the street. Make sure to add this to your list of future picnic spots.

Looking for a special overlook view of Los Angeles that isn't too crowded?…read more Check out Jerome C. Daniel Overlook above the Hollywood Bowl (what a mouthful that was). This special overlook is above the Hollywood Bowl and a hidden gem to see Los Angeles (Hollywood) from a bird's eye view. You are right over the Hollywood Bowl Amphitheater and downtown LA. To the east, you can see the Hollywood sign (small in the distance) and also Griffith Park Observatory. There is a small (free) parking lot and a few benches if you would like to sit and watch the world go by. This overlook was built in 1984 and was named after Jerome "Jerry" Daniel, whom served on numerous of committees in the Santa Monica Mountains. He was very passionate about the mountains and worked tirelessly to preserve LA's history and nature. He helped to obtain over 50,000 acres of land for the public, which most of is now parkland. So this overlook is named in his honor. Views during the day, especially on a clear day, are beautiful and would be even better at night. However this little overlook is only open from Sunrise to Sunset.
