The small zoo area is perfect for a fun and relaxed Sunday, featuring a nice variety of animals like horses, pigs, turtles, roosters, and more. We spent about an hour here, which was just right for little ones. If you come around noon, you might catch the animals being fed, and kids love watching that! It's a great way to enjoy animal encounters without the crowds, cost of a big zoo, and long distance of driving.

There's a basketball court, 2 tennis courts and lots of grass. Peak hours: There's a preschool next door, so at 10am it gets busy.

There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. They have a lot of shady areas to rest and enjoy a cool breeze. There's two playgrounds, one for small children and one for bigger kids. There's a merry go round, rock climbing, jungle gym, swings, and basketball courts. You can bring toys and play in the sand pit. It's very relaxing and the kids and I both enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

The last time I was here, my flat in San Francisco had recently burned down, and I had just renewed…read moremy driver's license at the nearby DMV and was talking on the phone to my roommate about getting another government document completely unrelated to my license or the fire, but we were talking about tragedy--real tragedy, not a fire that didn't kill anyone--and I was so stressed out by a lot of things, but the park actually made me feel better, even though I couldn't walk in most of it because they were re-sodding the fields. Adventure Park. It has an early-'90s water-park ring to its name, and while parts of it look like they're from the early '90s, it's just a plain old park with athletic fields, a gym, green space, and some sparse picnic tables. And what would a Whittier-area park be without its obligatory random ravine and/or concrete drainage area? In this case, said concrete drainage area is dangerous-looking for kids and runs right through the park at a right angle. It's fenced off, and there are helpful bridges to cross it, but I wonder why they sited it through the park rather than on one end of it. I'm sure some kids have adventures here, because all parks with grass and play equipment can be fun and create childhood memories. But Whittier has spoiled me with its parks, and while this is technically South Whittier so it's outside of Whittier's borders, it's still close enough that it should feel like a Whittier park, and it most certainly does not. Why? Because it's totally flat. And totally rectangular. When my parents were walking twice a day during COVID lockdowns/curfews, I suggested they visit this park to change up their rotation, which comprised only two or three parks at the time. They said it was OK, and I later came with my mom and realized why it wasn't their favorite. The concrete path isn't totally straight, so there's some variety, but there isn't much shade along the path. There's lots of parking, and it serves its purpose as a neighborhood park, but it could be so much better.

Probably work for those parents I see that let their kids run loose and they're just sitting on their phone but for parents like myself and my husband, we really can only handle about an hour at this place. Make sure you wear socks or you can also pay $3 to buy some. The place is clean from the looks of it. There are some things that had the paint peeled off and one game wasn't working but that wasn't too noticeable. They have an area specifically for those 2 years and younger and then an area for kids ages 3+. My son did both since he's in between but primarily stayed in the 3+. I'd be back to let him burn off some energy. Only thing I didn't like was we couldn't park our stroller inside.

I came here yesterday with my child. I was very disappointed. Firstly, the bathrooms were flooded…read moreand smelled. So we weren't allowed to use it. No place to wash our hands after. Secondly, this place is dirty, it looks like no one takes care of it. I mean they had the workers going around with the sanitizer spray but was literally spraying the air. Floor mats were dirty. There's an area outside of the enclosure where they are just storing random things, clutter and dusty. Maintenance people can walk by and there's an opening from the play area where anyone from the back just go in. I think it's not safe. From the outside, it looks big and clean but when you get inside, it feels icky and pretty small. Thirdly, for the price it wasn't worth it. Any child will have fun here, but as a parent I'm disappointed in the cleanliness, convenience of the bathroom and safety issues especially at the price point. Will not recommend to other families and will most likely not come back.
