A hidden gem!!! A very Beautiful dog friendly park with lots of parking spaces. The park is very well maintained with clean restrooms and nice water fountains (for doggie too). Right next to the LA River. We saw many people biking and running along the river. We will definitely come here more often when we are around. Highly recommended! read more

This is a small little park that leads to a great stretch of the LA River. This is a hidden gem because the river walk has a lot of cool spots and cafes along the way. I'm from LA and my first time coming here was a few weeks ago. That's how well of a secret this has been kept. I imagine this would be a popular spot to host events like birthday parties. I came here as part of a walking club and we all gathered near the pavilion area. If you continue down the river walk far enough, you'll encounter this bridge with cool graffiti. This would be a great place for band photo shoots. There is free parking but come early because it's limited spots. read more

Love it. Came here for the first time, today. Love the park. Restrooms are clean, there are public workout machines, there are park benches and tables, and there's even a butterfly habitat via milkweed plants. The park is attached to the bike path along the LA river. Parking is amble lot and street parking. Gates close up at night. Great place to relax away from the city. I'm so glad they keep this place clean and away from the hoodlums. read more

Basically a hidden park unless you're a local, great to bring your pets, remember to keep them leashed! Alot of dogs so be weary. Decent amount of parking also public bathroom it leads to the LA river trail so weekends are busy with cyclist and walkist Small park so not exactly for running but if its good weather in LA which is very normal, people will be sun bathing and soaking it all in! Theres a neat cafe in the backside pretty hidden called happier cafe great spot for a first coffee date i'd say read more

Def one of our fav parks Counted 7 picnic tables and two more in the skateboard park Stocked and super clean restrooms Parking lot read more

Beautiful space! Held my small and intimate wedding at the park. The process was easy & the staff was very helpful.

Nice gateway to walk and ride a bike along the LA River. There are decent restrooms and easy parking in a week day. The park tucked in a neighborhood so it's a nice hidden gem in LA and a place to park and use the restroom before exploring the LA River trail. One of my new favorite parks in Los Angeles! read more

:: Park :: Nice little park with plenty of space for picnics and dog walking. There are a couple outdoor fitness equipment stations and a cool photography spot near the entrance. There's also a skatepark on the opposite side of the entrance. This park is near the Los Angeles River and we were able to spot a heron there. Along the river is a bike path, we saw some people use it to walk as well. Just be cautious of your surroundings, especially for crazy fast bikers. There was almost an altercation with 2 "gentlemen," one on the bike and the other walking. :: Parking :: They have their own parking lot and a EV charging station (2-3 spaces). read more

Went in the early afternoon on a weekday with LAUSD in session. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean, spacious, peaceful, and well-equipped it was. I was also pleasantly surprised to see people there reading, working out, and roller skating. My 10 year old was fascinated by the exercise equipment. read more

Nestled between the LA River and the 5 fwy it is remarkably peaceful. Close enough to grab a coffee at La Columbe or rent a bike at Spoke and ride down to Marsh Park. There's a good balance of locals and visitors since the bike path runs along the park. I am definitely adding this to our weekend routine. read more

What a gorgeous little hidden gem along the LA River?! Who knew such a beautiful escape existed right in the midst of busy LA? So glad I found out about this park through the LA Design Festival Sustainable Landscape Tour. I love the little neighborhood it's in too (Elysian valley?). We were looking for a house to buy down in this neighborhood, but never found one and I'm glad to see it up and coming. There's even parking for this park!! Park hours are sunrise - sunset. There's a pavillion/covered area that you can rent from MRCA, who also maintains this park (Great job MCRA!). There's fun little exercise machines, a nice grassy area, a beautiful clean pathway and many, many plants, trees and shrubbery. It's so quiet and tranquil, you'd hardly believe it's right next to the 5 freeway. Plus it dumps out to the bike path along the river, so if you want to take a breather from riding your bike, you totally can!! read more

Cute little park that the edge of the River. Has multiple little stops along Greenway. Has some really neat animal mosaics that kiddos can climb on. Lots of shaded area and benches to relax on. read more

Lewis MacAdams Riverfront Park - arch over the entrance to the park - Parks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great spot very chill... Electric car charging station. This place is right next to the bike path and has an entrance. There is usually a maintenance or ranger on grounds... Lots of elderly and family using the exercise machines and grass field. Very family friendly. I'm surprised another reviewer said they saw gang members and druggies. Reviewer is probably an anti-gentrification local resident... Bunch of hippies and hipsters in Elysian Valley. Lol read more

I enjoy coming here with my children. This little park is different than all the other L.A. parks and its clean. It's not the quietest area since it's next to the bike path and skate park but it's still a nice location. read more

My 5 1/2-year-olds are obsessed with Marsh Park. We live 5 blocks from the beach, and yet somehow we routinely drive 20 miles to go to MP. read more

Franco, the groundskeeper, provided my friend and I with two bottles of water on a hot day. He didn't have to but he's very kind and makes this little Park one of a kind. Coming back again. read more

Horrible, stay away, this is not the first time I've been here either and every time I happen to stop by I always find several gang members hanging about giving people stares, using drugs. A female friend of mine has also had similar experiences and worse. The last time I was there they started screaming and yelling at each other over something I could barely make out about needing more money for either drugs or alcohol. read more

Its a really cute hidden park! There's a running/biking trail near it anddddd next to the LA River! It is really small but it was good since it wasn't overcrowded. There were weird people here I'll give it that so don't go when its dark and you're alone and you should be good. read more

As a fisherman in LA finding bodies of fresh water isn't the easiest thing especially now in this drought. But I know for s fact that if I go to fish this spot or many of the other spots. I am gay ranted to enjoy my self. Whether I catch fish or not. One thing I hate is the empty corn cans and hook packets I see all over the floor. Pick up your crap people read more

Los Angeles never stops surprising us with delightful little nooks and crannies, like Marsh Park... What a beautiful little park, with excersis equipment spaced perfectly throughout the grounds. The river and a skateboard park are next to the park, so much to do and see. Love it!!! Thank you Los Angeles government for having this kind of progressive, forward thinking vision!!! read more
