    Great community park. Looks newly built!…read more There are two playgrounds in the same area. One for ages 5-12 years old and another for 3-5 years old. There's a cushioned mat for the playground area. The highlight of the playground is the rock climbing structure that connects to the playground. It's a perfect opportunity to make an obstacle course for the kids! There are 2 baby swings and 2 regular swings. Parking is on the street in front of the park entrance on Central Ave. or you can park in the back residential street where it's a dead end. There are restrooms and 2 water bottle refill stations. The track is pretty neat for kids. On the cement, there are words and symbols for the kids to do. Such as, count, hop, jump, etc. The grass area is well kept and there are 2 t-ball fields. I regularly see people having birthday parties here, utilizing the indoor multipurpose room and the outside tables. The trees give the playground and benches lots of shade, which is really nice in the summer months. There are 2 full court basketball courts and benches around it. I love how clean and peaceful this place is. This park is great for families!

    I was looking for a nice park to take my toddler to play and I am glad I drove by this park…read moreyesterday by chance. It's a small gated park, which is a plus because I can keep up with my energetic toddler who loves to run around. The restrooms are close by the play structures as well a gazebo with some picnic tables. This would be a great park to host a kid's birthday party. There's also a water fountain and it has the water dispenser to refill your water bottle. There are two basketball courts and grassy area to play soccer or baseball. The park is clean and well maintained. We went on a Friday around 12-1pm and there was only one other little girl and adult in the park. It was easy to find a parking spot right outside the park. This will be our go to park to go play and burn off some energy. My son loved the rock climbing structure.

It seems like the courts are being ignored, which doesn't make sense because they're used often. Families come here all the time, and we see kids riding their bikes or learning how to ride -- but there are sharp metal strips from tennis ball cans and all kinds of trash around. I've seen pizza boxes, candy wrappers, flyers, bottles -- you name it, it's probably in the courts. I even spoke with one of the cleaning staff who was cleaning other areas but skipped over the courts. I mentioned to him that people, including children, use these courts regularly, and they deserve to be clean and safe. I plan to email the city about this because it's not right that we pay taxes and our local courts are being overlooked. The courts are always in use, so it's not like they're forgotten or abandoned. They're right next to the splash pad, which makes it a popular area for families -- another reason why maintenance should be a higher priority. Please, keep our tennis courts and parks clean so families and children can safely enjoy them.

Plenty of parking to park at, with some dim lighting, but the park itself was very bright. There were a lot of people on Friday night with a few spots open so this place is very popular! Super huge with a ton of space. You can tell it's very well-kept and there are restrooms too. I think the parking gets charged when there's an event going on, other than that I don't remember paying any money to come here. Overall would love to come back here again!

Unfortunately, the grass looked overgrown, and the overall area did not feel especially clean or well cared for. I also brought my dog, but I did not find it particularly enjoyable or convenient for walking. I mostly noticed a few groups playing soccer, but not much else that made the park stand out. One interesting part was seeing people test and fly small remote-controlled aircraft. It was my first time seeing something like that, so I did enjoy watching it. Still, I am not sure that alone is enough to justify paying an entrance fee. This is only my honest experience, but I left wondering what makes this park worth the entrance fee compared with other public parks.

    Had a fabulous time at a recent Concert in the Park here…read more Top notch park design. Great stage and concert foundation for dance floor and other performances. Love the fact the parking is close to the park entrance and several co-located picnic benches for those with mobility issues. There was a small rose garden along the walking path in front of the stage, with built in benches around it in case you need a seat. Lots of beautiful open grass space, incredible playground, and impressive an coffee stand. This is what our communities look like when we invest in them. Great job La Puente local government and residents. You all rock! The basketball courts looked fun as well! I don't play but plenty of young people were enjoying all the recreational offerings as we older folks danced the night away!

    I am extremely disappointed with the way this situation was handled and the level of…read moreprofessionalism shown by staff. When I enrolled my child in the Parent and Me class, I specifically asked whether both parents could attend. I was clearly told yes. I was also informed the class would be held at the playground. When we arrived at the playground, no one was there. I had to call to find out the class was actually being held inside. After going inside, the instructor informed us that only one parent was allowed to attend. Roxanna then referenced the flyer and stated that "Parent and Me" meant only one parent, insinuating that I misunderstood or could not read it correctly. I have attended many Mommy and Me and Parent and Me classes in the past, and when only one parent is allowed, it is clearly specified on the flyer. This flyer did not state that limitation. She then told me that I should have contacted Tiny Tots directly for information rather than relying on the front desk. This was my first time visiting this park. There was no way for me to know that the information provided by staff was incorrect or that it was my responsibility to verify it elsewhere. The conflicting information, poor communication, and dismissive attitude made this a very frustrating and disappointing experience. I hope staff receive better training so families are given accurate information and treated respectfully.

    I absolutely love Peter F. Schabarum Regional Park! It's the perfect quick escape -- close enough…read moreto civilization for convenience, yet far enough to leave the hustle and bustle of traffic and city life behind. Right now the cherry blossoms are in full, breathtaking bloom, turning parts of the park into a dreamy pink wonderland. The wildlife is thriving too: squirrels galore that are so bold they'll walk right up to your feet if you sit still and stay calm. On warmer days I've spotted rattlesnakes scurrying across the trails, so I always recommend staying in the middle of the paths as a safety precaution. From the main entrance at Colima Road, you can choose the paved walkway or head straight for the dirt trails depending on your mood. I usually make my way toward the horse stables and equestrian area -- watching the horses get fed or running around their enclosures is one of my favorite parts. Just be mindful of the occasional big mounds of horse droppings on the trails; it's a small price to pay for the beauty. The park is generally very clean, with plenty of trash cans scattered throughout. There are numerous benches, picnic areas, fire pits perfect for groups, a children's playground, and even a seasonal creek with several charming wooden bridges crossing directly over it (though the water is pretty dry now that the rainy season is over). You'll also notice signs posted along the trails warning about bobcats and mountain lions. I've been coming here regularly for six months and haven't heard or seen any myself, but I've seen quite a few hikers carrying pepper spray as a precaution. Just be safe out there. Weekends get busy with families celebrating birthdays and enjoying the outdoors, but it's all part of the lively atmosphere. For dog lovers, there are two fantastic off-leash dog parks right near the front entrance -- one for large dogs and one for medium/small dogs. Outside of those areas, dogs must be on leash per the signs. The hilltop trails offer absolutely stunning panoramic views that make every visit worthwhile. My only heads-up: the park is officially closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (per LA County rules), but a lot of locals park across the street at the nearby mall and walk in through the gates anyway. If you're in the Rowland Heights/Hacienda Heights area and looking for a beautiful regional park with trails, nature, horses, cherry blossoms, and those lovely wooden bridges over the creek, I highly recommend Schabarum. Just bring water, wear good shoes, keep an eye out for those snakes in the summer, and stay aware on the trails! 5/5 -- I'll definitely be back soon.
