    I've enjoyed coming to this park since I was a preteen. Renovations are finally completed and the park is great. I love the fenced in playground. It has a double swing, one for baby and one for a big kid Parking is still a hot mess if the park is poppin'

    Simon park on delamo location city of Lakewood. This part was recently remodeled. Very nice. Family friendly. Play ground look very nice. Plenty of shade in the park. Lots of street parking but if you wanna get a good location you better get here early. There is also a community pool here for a small fee you can swim here and stay really cool

Water features attract a lot of fowl including Canadian geese, mallard ducks and so many more duck species, plus of course seagulls and crows, pigeons, and a large number of turtles. Very fun for kids to explore. Slides and climbing are built into the structures. Adjacent to neighborhoods so lots of street parking, as well as a separate parking lot. Playground equipment geared for the 3 to 12 year old kids. Lots of covered sheds and picnic tables- those are available for Cerritos residents to rent, but otherwise are free for use. Also has grills if you want to barbecue. Clean bathrooms, onsite toddler pre-K programs offered. Lots of well maintained grassy areas and shady trees.

The playground area is great for all ages my kids had a blast and didn't want to leave. The lake area with the little church in the background is a nice touch, makes it feel more relaxing and not just your typical park. Good walking paths, plenty of grass, and nice spots to just sit and chill. Everything felt well kept and safe, which is a big plus when you're bringing kids. Plenty of room so it didn't feel overcrowded either. Only thing watch out for duck poop on the walkways and grass, especially near the water. Overall, great spot for families. Definitely coming back

    I went to Liberty Park for my cousin's son's first birthday party, a big event with catering and…read moredecorations and about a hundred Koreans. They took over a giant covered outdoor area with a ton of picnic tables, clean and open and perfect for a large party (I assume they had to rent this). I've been to a lot of parks over the years, and most of them don't have comparable event spaces. The one disadvantage was that we were far away from the playground, much to the chagrin of my three-year-old, who kept demanding to leave the party in favor of the play structure he saw in the distance. Liberty Park is just a huge place with several different zones. We even switched parking lots once we got there and figured out where the actual party was, on the Camp Liberty side of the park. The party was really nice, pleasant and relaxing. We had lunch, watched the dohl ceremonies (he grabbed the stethoscope, securing his future as a doctor), took pictures, and hung out with family. Then, because I'm not a monster, I took my boy to the playground. It was a great playground, well maintained and pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Fewer kids, in fact, than teenagers working out and playing loud music nearby. I'm not complaining. In fact, my child was fascinated by their music and got as much entertainment from their speakers as he did from the play structure. I don't live anywhere near Cerritos, but if I did, I'd make good use of Liberty Park. What a lovely neighborhood resource, for both special events and everyday recreation.

    This is such a well rounded park with a community center, walking track, pickleball, tennis courts,…read moreplayground and more! Highly recommend these courts for pickleball too because there are a lot of courts, friendly players and it's not too advanced of play. Been coming for the last three months and I see the same players all the time. Only downside of playing pickleball here is that the courts close at like 8pm-8:30pm which is actually atrocious. I forget exactly. When I run to the restroom from the tennis/pickleball area, which looks exactly like your average park restroom. I see people on the playground and other pickleball courts (3 in the middle) (2 on side). The track is crowded too! The parking does get full in the evening so you may need to park on the street.

    Happy Easter, YELPers!…read more Rynerson Park located in Lakewood, CA is a total hit with friends and family! From the spacious grounds, plentiful play areas, and even a dog run area, this park has it all. Today, Easter Sunday 2026, our group of 40 has been having a blast since this morning. The area is clean and well kept, with city workers on site doing light work in the background. Many families are enjoying picnics with one another, sharing dishes, and having a blast looking for Easter eggs. Just as we did last year, we engaged with a neighboring family for a fun game of volleyball. This has been great! There is plenty of parking available in the lot, with several spots being designated for handicap parking. No stairs or steps are needed to access the park and there is an abundance of street parking, as well. For being an outdoor enjoyment area the sound level has not gone above mid and the grounds are well kept and clean. I look forward to our annual picnic for next year, already! xx

    Great park for a walk!…read more This park is huge! If you take the outer paved trail, it actually leads up to a whole mile per lap. A great way to get steps in without the redundancy of a track and also a great way to keep track of how many miles you've walked. There's also several large grass sections where you can play fetch with your dog, there's always someone here with their pets so you know it's super pet-friendly. There's also a few tables you can reserve for picnics and events, including a charcoal grill! In addition, there's a playground which makes it a great spot for family fun time. There's even a path that leads to the river bank if you wanted to go for a run or bike ride there. Parking is plentiful. There's a back lot which you can access via the main street on Studebaker and there's also parking on the street as well, making it very convenient for your trip. Overall, beautiful park, plenty to do and plenty of space!

    Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a peaceful hidden gem tucked inside California State…read moreUniversity, Long Beach. I walked into a space that is smaller than some larger Japanese gardens, but the layout feels carefully planned with winding paths, traditional landscaping, a koi pond, waterfalls, bridges, and quiet corners throughout. It is the type of place where taking your time matters more than trying to see everything quickly, and the smaller size actually makes the experience feel more intimate. The garden feels like a world apart from the campus surrounding it, and the transition from the university grounds to the garden is immediate and effective. The koi pond is easily the centerpiece of the garden and one of the most enjoyable parts to spend time around. I found myself lingering by the water, watching the fish move through the pond as the sunlight filtered through the trees. The fish are large and active, and the surrounding greenery, stone features, and water elements create a very relaxing atmosphere. The garden does a good job balancing natural scenery with traditional Japanese design, with each section offering a slightly different view and feeling as I walked through. The bridges and stone lanterns add to the sense of place, and the sound of the waterfalls creates a calming background that stays with you as you move through the space. What I liked most about this garden is how calm it feels despite being located on a college campus. It feels separated from the surrounding area once you enter, making it a nice place for a quiet walk, photography, or just taking a break. The landscaping is well maintained, and the entire space has a slower pace that encourages you to actually stop and appreciate the details rather than rushing through. The garden's design rewards a slow approach, with each turn in the path offering a slightly different perspective on the pond, the plants, and the stonework. The visit is fairly quick since the garden is compact, but it works well as a relaxing stop rather than a destination that takes up an entire afternoon. Reservations are required, so it is worth checking availability before going. Admission is free, although parking is an extra cost and can be the main inconvenience, especially during busy campus hours. The garden's location on campus makes it accessible, but the parking situation can require a bit of patience. Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a beautiful spot if you are looking for a peaceful escape rather than a large attraction. The koi pond, thoughtful design, and quiet atmosphere make it a place worth visiting, especially on a nice day when you can take your time walking through the garden. It offers a brief but meaningful pause from the surrounding city and campus life, and the care that has gone into maintaining the space is evident in every corner.

    The Nature Center trails are one of my favorite spots for an easy peaceful walk. I come here about…read moreonce a week with my elderly family member and it's always a nice change of pace. The trails are clean, mostly shaded and easy to follow. There's a short 1/4-mile loop if you just want a quick stroll, plus a 1-mile loop that can turn into about a 2-mile walk if you keep going and loop back around. There is one incline area, but it's short and not too bad. Plenty of benches are scattered throughout too, which makes it great for slower walks or taking breaks. The park itself has a really pleasant nature feel. You'll see squirrels, turtles, birds and other little wildlife moments along the way. The turtle dock is always fun to spot and the shaded paths make the whole walk feel relaxing instead of draining. Most people on the trails are friendly too, so the vibe is usually calm and welcoming. The Nature Center trails themselves are free if you walk or bike in, but there is a vehicle fee if you park in the Nature Center/East Regional Park lot. Parking is currently $6 on weekdays, $7 on Fridays, $8 on weekends and $9 on holidays. The entry booth is cashless, so bring a card or use a digital payment option. Parking can look packed at times, but I've always been able to find a spot. They also offer annual parking passes, including discounted ones for seniors 50+, disabled visitors and veterans, so it's worth asking at the Nature Center Visitors Center if you plan to come often. The office area has restrooms and some nice little nature/informational displays, which is a cool bonus if you're there with family or just want to look around. There's also El Dorado Park West across the street, which I've checked out a few times and didn't have to pay for parking on that side. It's a separate park area with sports fields, picnic areas, playgrounds, basketball, tennis and a skate park. I haven't explored every part of it, but it's good to know about if you're already in the area or want a free nearby option. Overall, I'd definitely recommend El Dorado Park if you want a clean, shaded and relaxing place to walk. It's peaceful, accessible and has enough nature charm to make a simple walk feel like a tiny reset.

    As the largest park in Long Beach at just over 640 acres (1 square mile), the El Dorado Regional…read morePark was opened in 1964 and is located on the east side of the city. The Nature Centre comprises of 105 acres in the East Regional portion, and has 2 miles of dirt trails and 1/4 mile paved trail with an indoor visitor center (located on an island near the entrance). My wife, her mom, and I visited on a beautiful Thursday afternoon and we really enjoyed it. The land prior to 1964 was used as flat farmland. In the late 60's, major excavation was done, creating two small ponds connected by a stream, all fed by a groundwater well. It now is the home to varied wildlife, with the most visible being turtles. They love to sun themselves on wooden floating platforms, and the water is clear enough to see them swimming underwater near the walking path bridges. There are three walking trails: 1. quarter mile paved loop, good for strollers 2. 1 mile dirt loop 3. a longer 2 mile loop, sharing some parts of the previous. Everything is well maintained. Three things I appreciated: not too many ducks and geese around, thus no visible droppings along the path; plenty of varied bench seating to rest or observe during the walk; lack of biting insects. The center is open 6 days a week (closed on Mondays). Admission to the center is free, but parking is $6 - $8 per vehicle, payable at entry (credit cards only, no cash accepted). One can buy an annual parking pass (good at both El Dorado East and West parking areas). To incentivize myself to come here more often, decided to buy one for $43 (senior discount), minus the $7 already paid for the one time fee.
