I wonder why it says "YELPERS HAVE REPORTED THIS CLOSED" this park is not closed. I would've…read moreprobably been the duchess at this park and no matter how many times I report it's not closed, Yelp doesn't do anything about it. It's literally less than a 10min walk from my house. You walk through the neighborhood and there it is. This park literally has nothing but 1 bench and a whole lot of grass space and that's probably why they're always playing soccer here. My dogs like this park. My boys run up and down w them when it's not occupied by soccer players. One of my dogs (Kreacher) likes to mark his territory on every single tree and kick grass/dirt w his hind legs to let all the other dogs know this is his park haha. It's a nice park to walk your dog at and I really like that it's not filthy and for the most part... dog owners pick up after themselves which is always a plus. When you enter the park from our neighborhood you enter from Boswelia and if you walk all the way down onto the end of the park then you end up on S. Laurelglen. It's literally a cool shortcut. The bad side is that lately we have noticed homeless living inside of the blocked off canal and that makes me feel uneasy. There's tons of trash in the canal also now when there's literally a trash can not too far away. I hope the city can take care of the trash problem. I happen to like this park and even though it's just a park w just grass and 1 bench, it gives my dogs a place to run.

This is the closest park to my house and it's always looked like a nice and clean park. Today, I…read moretook my 2 pugs here for a 10 minute stroll and they didn't want to move. I felt the "grass" and it was painful to the touch. Like a bunch of needles stabbing me. This is disappointing that the mostly dead grass is also razor sharp. Wish the city (or whoever is responsible) would be able to at least make the grass safe for dogs to walk on or children. If a child falls, their hands will be stabbed. Come on, Bakersfield! Please use my property tax money to turn the sprinklers on at the park next to my house! Thanks!

There is a large play structure with a variety of activities intended for children ages 5-12. There are two sets of swings, one intended for toddlers and one for older kids. There is bark under the structure and swings to provide a soft landing in case of a fall. There are three picnic tables spread around the bark area, each with its own grill (don't forget to bring the charcoal). There are benches well situated to provide a place for parents to relax and watch their chores play. There is even a working water fountain next to the bench on the West side so you can help your children keep hydrated. The only thing missing is a public restroom.

My favorite part is the wide grass area which has held countless pick up football, soccer, wiffle ball, and any other field game. The basketball court is well kept and is a fun spot to practice skating when not in use for basketball. The playground has two nice sections, one designed for younger kids and another larger section with more advanced play equipment. They also have some of the better swings around.

They are probably not both needed every day, but they are important to accommodate special occasions and events sponsored by NOR recreation & parks which administers and maintains this park. I was here one evening last summer with friends to hear a local band play. We all brought lawn chairs and blankets and had a lovely evening listening to music and people watching. Both parking lots were pretty full that evening. On an average afternoon like today, there were families with young children enjoying the large playground equipment structures, teenagers walking their dogs, a couple of young men playing one on one basketball on the courts, and several men setting up for some unknown sport which involved the placement of many red flags on the large field just South of the picnic area. I enjoyed my picnic under the shade structure which held a large number of picnic tables with conveniently located barbecue grills. It can be reserved for a fee by contacted NOR directly qt 392-2010. The picnic shelter has a capacity of 80 people and can be reserved for a fee of $15 per hour with a 3 hour minimum reservation. You will also need to fill out an application which can be downloaded here http://norfun.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/FR-100-Use-of-Facility-Online-Packet.pdf There are several other individual picnic tables scattered about in the grassy area with a grill next to each one. The park sprawls across 21.3 acres. There are two very large grassy areas, one to the North and one to the South of the playground equipment. There are clean public restrooms, all of which are individual rooms that can be locked from the inside and were well stocked with toilet paper. I didn't give it five stars because the grass is not as lush, green, and well watered as most of the other parks in Bakersfield.
