My favorite park in the SGV so far - the locals are chill and welcoming, the bowl is great, and the…read moreflow section is beautiful. The park is far more beginner-friendly than you may think at first glance, with several gentle banks and easy roll-ins to get you into the flow section, but it also rewards you with more and more possibilities the more you progress in skill. It's very easy to maintain speed for laps throughout the park once you get a feel for it, and the transition is pretty moderate/standard throughout the park. Nothing truly tricky to deal with if you're just trying to cruise around, but endless possibilities for someone truly skilled, from what I see happen here. The concrete in the shallow of the bowl is starting to develop a bit of pitting in two spots, so take note of that if you're riding smaller/harder wheels.

Arroyo Park is a lovely park in South Pasadena. We went for our friends' baby shower and took over…read moreone of the gazebos, and it was a pleasant, relaxing venue for a big group that included several small children. Parking seems like it could be annoying, but we got lucky with a spot right by the party. The gazebo area was nice and spacious, with tables and benches and plenty of room for kids to toddle around. My only complaint is there were a lot of greedy bees coming after our tacos, but no one got stung. The playground was great. Our three-year-old had a blast, as did his little friends. We don't live in the neighborhood, but if we did, we'd get a lot of use out of this park.

We parked at the Schoolhouse Garage parking and walked over here within a few minutes. There may be metered street parking as well. It is a very big park. There are picnic tables, benches, drinking fountains, a garden of roses, children's playground, restrooms, and other facilities. The entire space was well maintained from what I can tell. What I love most about this park are the beautiful tall green trees. They give so much life to the park and great shade for visitors. If you're in the Pasadena area and need a place to walk, rest, or chill with your lunch, this park is for you. Note: Please be mindful that there may be homeless individuals nearby or at the park. We did see a few of them sleeping on the lawn area.

As other reviewers mentioned in previous posts, there are many homeless people wandering around the park. I caught one literally washing his genitalia right at the water fountain located right next to the kids playground. I know a few other dog owners sharing the same grassy patch noticed the indecent exposure but didn't even bat an eye or anything. They just kept walking like it was no big deal. It was also extremely disturbing that the parents were either oblivious or just looked the other way about the indecent exposure happening right next to where their kids are playing. I hope to not revisit this park again given the fact that nobody seems to think anything of such event occurring at the park. I don't know if I'm uptight and not understanding or what, but where I'm from, it's considered a crime to do such a thing.

Whether you're a serious birder or just looking for a tranquil place to hike and enjoy the local wildlife, this park is a local gem that shouldn't be missed! Note: There is a frisbee golf course there if that is your thing.

Tons and pets and people run, walk, and bike the loop in both directions Plenty of people bring their strollers too! The loop is completely paved. Such a lovely and easy walk that you can do during the day or at night. The entire loop is about 3 miles long and can be done in less than 1 hour for me and I'm walking! The loop has tiny bits of shade, but you are pretty much exposed to the sun so I would suggest packing a hat, umbrella, and sunscreen :)
