This beautiful local park offers lots of great options for sports and recreation. The tennis courts are fantastic, but often busy (I got around that by taking tennis classes here through Glendale Parks and Rec, lots of fun.) 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 also a great park for just taking a walk. Parking is free but the lot is a bit small, so better to come early. read more

This is a very nice park central to La Cañada Montrose, La Crescenta EAGLEROCK, Glendale. I like that it's not too large. 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. read more

Nice park that has a great little league field, playground, a couple tennis courts, and a big grassy area. Would be nice when covid is over and these team sports can resume. I also wish that there were a couple more tennis courts, since if these two are full, you could be in for a long wait. Nice to have the park in the area and appreciate the upkeep and cleanliness. Overall great addition to the community! read more

This is a really nice park with tennis courts, baseball field, soccer field, lots of trees and plenty of picnic tables. They play structure is very nice for young kids and there's a nice concrete bench that surrounds it so you can catch up with your mommy or daddy friends while watching the kids. I like to walk my dog there when it's hot because there's plenty of mature trees, so it's easier to get out of the sun and have grass to walk on. The only downside is it appears to be a hangout and party spot for the high school kids. Glendale Police Department needs to swing by more often it seems. read more

I love this park. It was only minutes away from where I used to live. Having 'Community' is the name is actually perfect cause it is really a small little community park. It has two jungle gyms, one for children 2-5, and then another for children 5+. It has a gorgeous grass area for you to picnic or if you want to have a gathering, whatever you want. It also has two baseball fields which is usually being used, but hey you never know it might be open. Overall, this is one of the best parks around that area. Its privately tucked away and typically not crowded at all. I SHOULD be telling you that this is a horrible park so you dont go there, but I'm feeling really nice today... so take advantage of it while you can LOL read more

The picnic / play area was clean but the public restrooms are the worst restroom in all the parks I've been too . Located in a RICH neighborhood , I expected more . This is a Dirty and unacceptable smelly rest area . I hope glendale city will turn their attention to this beautiful park. read more

SOFTBALL Field review. Totally liked the scene up at the Montrose Park softball field. When you play the outfield, you're looking at the nice Angeles Crest mountain range in the background (imagine playing in the winter when they're slightly snowcapped). The softball field/park is nicely tucked in behind the busy Verdugo street. There's plenty of parking right be the fields and up top by the bball and tennis courts. When you're playing at Montrose, it feels un-LA like. Nice play to play some softball at. Cons: Far bathrooms, outfield grass was SUPER DUPER thick which killed any hard ground balls into the OF. Cut the grass please! I'd take Montrose over Gloretta field anytime!!! read more

My son and I love coming here for picnics or just a bit of play time before visiting the farmers market on Sundays. The park is very well maintained (the bathroom is one of the cleanest I've seen at a park) there's a lot for the kids to do and explore, and there are even tennis courts and a basketball hoop! I highly recommend this park, and will continue to enjoy it with my family. read more

Montrose Community Park - we love this playground! - Parks Near Me - Glendale, California

This is my 3 year olds favorite park. She loves the rock climbing part of the playground, she loves it so much that I have instant heart attacks watching her reach the top. Super big and fun slides, lots of swings, lots of park benches and places to sit where you can easily watch your little ones play. I love that there's lots of green grass, places to explore, and pretty flowers. My only complaint is that the wood chips in playground is such a pain in the butt. They are not flip flop friendly, I had several slivers get stuck in my flip flops, thus cutting through to my skin. If this playground had sand it would be my personal favorite. read more

What a beautiful gem tucked away in montrose. The park isn't very visible from the street as it is nestled in the neighborhood. Two baseball fields, two tennis courts up the hill, and a great play area for kids 2+ up. Also, an eating area/table set up and small bbq pits available too. read more

Lovely place has a little back trail. Nice scenery. Limited parking spaces. Nice space to have a BBQ or a picnic. If you're coming here for the hope for exercise equipment , you'll be disappointed. read more

I take my kids often to this park. Good for little toddlers and big kids too. It can get busy on the weekends with lots of wheels going around the playground but that's the price of a good park. The playground is tucked way back from the street. It has park benches and tables, though not a ton. The baseball fields are down the hill and add plenty of space when not in use. The playground is in good shape and has a decent amount of shade but gets a little too hot July-Sept. read more

(Reading Jackie G.'s review about this park and bunnies reminds me of an incident here from waaaaaay back when that I can't help but write a review about.) Once upon a time, my younger self went to Montrose Park at night with a special someone to "hang out". Just as we were getting close, a random guy with a monster flashlight shone a beacon of light on us. "Oops! Sorry!", he exclaimed, "I was looking for bunnies." read more

People play tennis here for HOURS!! I didn't even get to play :( not sure what the rules are but goddamn man

Excellent place for kids to have fun. Family friendly environment. Lots of things for kids to do, from slides, swings and basket court, to bike track. All surrounded by a lovely mountain view for parents to enjoy their time too. Barbeque places available. Great place for outdoor parties. Absolutely recommend this place. read more

Incredible views of La Canada Flintridge, the San Gabriel Mountains, Montrose and wonderful North Glendale. Breath-taking. A little half basketball for old men and children alike. To determine if they "Still gotz it!" Typically ample parking, however the many baseball and soccer leagues/teams/games would mean street parking a block or two away. read more

Thats just horrible, i hope someone from glendale city is going to read this review and do something about it. montrose park has 2 public tennis courts for everyone who wants to play tennis and enjoy those courts. but guess what, its "public just on words. scheduled for private lessons most of the time. all seven days a week reserved for private lessons and every time you will try to use the "public" court for public use its available before 2pm or after 8pm. check the pictures below. city of glendale has more opportunities to make money somewhere else and leave courts for regular families who would love to enjoy this beautiful game - tennis. look attached photos for schedules and don't waist your time to drive all the way for tennis courts. i think it's not city's last resort to make theirs budget by collecting the money from renting those courts. ON WEEKENDS EVEN WORSE. MORNING TIME IS ALWAYS RESERVED. THIS MUST BE FIXED. Or change the name from Public Community Park to Private and Greedy City of Glendale Park! read more

Perfect place to bring your little ones for a romp in the playground or a run-around the ample but contained grass area. Sometimes parking gets a tad crowded when there's a baseball game going on but it's no big whoop. My nephew celebrated his third birthday there this weekend and he had the best time ever. He's 3, though, so just being alive is the best time ever. The grown-ups at the party had a few bizarre encounters with some uninvited kids, though. First, there were these two tween girls. We had canopies and a piñata set up that clearly marked our party area and these girls weaved in and out, freely touching and checking things out. Weird, but they're kids so whatevs ... But then they came up to my sister and went, "Hey, can we leave our dog here while we go and play?" and my sister was all, "Um, this is a public park so you can leave your dog wherever you want but I'm not gonna watch it for you." Then these walking/talking Bratz dolls were like, "Oh," and walked off. Then, there were these 3 boys around 7 to 9 years of age. All of a sudden, I see them playing with my nephew's stomp rocket junior. Hello, it's called "junior" because it's for 3-year-olds! They were stomping on it way too hard and shooting rockets into each others' butts, making a huge ruckus. Hilarious and age-appropriate. At THEIR party. Some other time. I was like, "Boys, you had your turn, let the birthday boy and his friends play with it." I didn't get mad and even asked if they were had fun, which they clearly did. Then I saw them playing with it again, right under my nose, and got one of the rockets stuck in a tree. What the hell? But there was no time to scratch my head because it was piñata time. All our little guests took turns pulling strings until they found the secret string tied to the trap door (that's how my nephew rolls). Candy flung everywhere. Tots got busy scooping up loot. I got busy with my camera. Then I heard one of our grown-up guests shout, "Randoms! Randoms!" and my first thought was "what a disconcerting nickname for his children" until I spotted those party crashers through the viewfinder. They were squatting amidst the spoils and grabbing goodies right along with my nephew. What the hell two times! One of the moms finally had to tell them the candy was for the birthday boy and his friends! They finally went away to do their thing but the kicker is that their moms were a mere 30 feet away, witnessing everything. The mamas just be chillin' and sayin', "We brought em but you deal wit em, suckas!" There was plenty of candy leftover and even some cake but we were too thrown by it all to feel like offering them anything. Anyway. The point is: nice park, good size for little ones and my nephew had a great birthday. The end. read more

I play at this park for slow-pitch softball for the Glendale league. The park is beautiful. It has big green trees, grass, and just the overall feel of the park is refreshing and clean. They have two fields, I believe one is used for little league baseball and the other is used for slow-pitch and fast-pitch softball. They have seating for fans and a playground for the children. The restrooms are fairly well taken care. There is parking both at the top (by the playground) and at the bottom (by the softball fields). read more

Wow, never know this adorable park was here. A friend took me here for a walk on beautiful day. It is way bigger than it appears. They have tennis courts, baseball diamonds, picnic areas (with BBQs), a playground and I especially loved the doggie water fountain. Who knew? - well apparently my friend did and now I do too. Definitely will go back. Great place for a nice quiet picnic for two. read more

OCTOBER 2020 WARNING!!! I thought this beautiful park would be a nice and enjoyable place to have a picnic. There's lots of benches, tons of space to social distance, and lots of shade. However-- when you start eating, SWARMS of YELLOW JACKETS will swarm you!!! I'm allergic to stings, and it was crazy. At first, there's just 1-2, but in less than 5 minutes, there were dozens. I was able to get away and eat in my car, but let this be a warning to NOT bring food to this park!! read more

Nice park. Very quiet and hidden. It's also small. There's a playground for the kiddos, tennis courts, and basketball courts. The lights go off early though on the basketball courts. Bathrooms are clean. I gave it four stars because it's small so you have to wait for courts. So it's best to go later in the day. read more

Nice little park. You gotta watch your little ones (obviously) because there is a steep hill they could fall down if they are not careful. Park is always clean, people are respectful, and they even have a little library (the take a book and leave a book kind). My daughter got really excited about the books! Parking can be a little tight at times but you can always street park and walk up a little way! read more

Beautiful. Safe. Hard to beat that. My daughter plays softball on the fields below, and they are always well kept as well. Parking can be a bear during peak hours, but other than that, it's a great place to take your kids. read more

This is a lovely park. The playground area is an open patch of sun and sand, but the surrounding area is covered with trees and grass for shady spots to sit. There is a wide array of playground equipment for all ages, and it's set up in such a way that you can pretty easily observe your kids, if like me, you have two that are always running in opposite directions. Definitely family friendly. Parking is conveniently located nearby, but fills up quick and then you have to take a little hike to park in the residential area nearby. But all in all, still a great park! read more

This is a great park for kids of different ages. If your baby's in the crawling/walking stage, there is plenty of grass and sidewalk to experiment on, and if they're in the climbing stage there are lots of playground structures with different difficulty levels. I went during a birthday party once and even though there were lots of children and adults walking around the playground, it never felt crowded, just busy in a fun way.There's also a very obvious public restroom that is fairly clean, and it's right next to a huge baseball field. Definitely a keeper. read more

Such a nice little park tucked away. It has a good blend of hills and flat areas, a full playground and sports fields/tennis courts. Everything you want in a park area without it being overwhelmingly large. Located in Montrose, which is a nice area anyway. Parking close to the playground can be a little difficult, but you can find free parking close enough that it hardly matters. They have a little store with snacks and water which i find a definate plus. read more

A nice park but someone decided to stick an eyesore in the form of a giant yellow and black sign(which is being called art) in the middle of the grass and trees. Don't we have enough signs on the roads to satisfy "art lovers"? I don't know how much money was spent on this out of place display but park management should spend more on eradicating the graffiti splayed all over the tabletops instead of putting sheet metal in the middle of this fine park. read more
