The swing set below one of the large trees
Marcus L.

I'm always on the look out for shaded playgrounds and this little neighborhood park definitely makes my list. The main attraction for me are the large trees that provide a great amount of shade over the swing set and both large sand play areas! A lot of people bring their own sand toys and shovels and caregivers can be seen sitting along the edge. I sometimes see a variety of kids wanting to share toys so make sure to label yours or it'll be tough to find them later. There's a play structure recommended for 2-5 year olds and a separate one for 5-12 year olds but my toddler likes to hang out on both but gets bored with them quickly. There's also a see saw and one of those rides that looks like a spinning bowl. Why are those things always the temperature of the sun!? I've been here on weekdays when it's pretty empty and others when it's extremely busy. Everyone seems very friendly, though!

This place is our second home. Ample shade. Clean bathrooms. Huge lawn for dogs and sports. My daughter loves the sandbox and chasing other children around on the rubber tar ground. It's very safe - gated and has a very aesthetically pleasing jungle gym. Cute track for those who love exercise. Highly recommend!

Busy but fun with nice tree house themed equipment. Big sand pit and clean bathrooms. In a neighborhood with street parking.

Nice place to let the kids craze. Big playground, outdoor mini gym, grassy fields, swings, tennis courts. Bathrooms leave a lot to be desired...better pee at home.

I love this park! It's a great place for running or pick up sports. The lights stay on until 10 p.m., and there are generally a number of families at the park and couples walking their dogs. This park has playground equipment for the kids, two basketball courts, four tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a dirt track, and newly installed plastic weight-lifting machines....that actually work! Their aren't a TON of varieties of these machines, but the few there are really do work (somehow using your body weight to lift, I think). There is also a kick back wall on the perimeter of one of the basketball courts. The park's not that big, but it's a good location with super easy parking, and somehow it manages to cram a bunch of things into one well-lit area. Anyways, there is a group that gathers on Monday nights for pickup soccer - last week there were about 30 people playing and the organizers just ask that you bring $5 a month to contribute to the cost of the nets.

JUMBO SUPER DUPER park and rec center.... There's so much to do and enjoy... I feel bad I don't…read morestop by more unless there's a food truck favorite nearby. There's plenty of shade as well as wide open spaces for sun. There is a homeless population here, but they are pretty cluster in one place usually near the chess tables near the recreation center building. The park extends down a huge block and breaks up extending from Chandler to Riverside Drive all the way down Tujunga Ave alongside the 170 Fwy. A great place for families, friends, kids and everyone really. They've held some community events here... Even a small Lgbtq+ pride celebration in the past. While street parking goes fast there are some small lots if you plan out your day early. A lot of people walk their dogs and through the ball here... plenty of nature to enjoy and take in.... I haven't taken any classes at this location, but might consider signing up for activities when restrictions are fully lifted.

Where do I begin...For background info, I've been a regular- occasional tennis player at these…read morecourts and generally know of the people around here. Pros: -Good number of courts. Six courts and they are all lighted!! -Courts aren't totally trashed. May find abandoned tennis metal lids, leftover snacks, and a trail of ants near the benches but get cleaned at some point. -Useable filtered water fountain that has come in handy during hot days -I've been safe. There are homeless in daytime but they do gather around and prowl at night. On a random night, I played here close to midnight- 2am and I wasn't bothered. Cons: -Super long wait times to get a court -a lot of homeless. I've never been harmed or too bothered. I've had a few flashes of unclothed people. -The ambiance can be a bit whack depending on the type of people around. You've got normal people just wanting to play tennis, old folks that play here all the time and want to coach you, coaches expecting you to leave the court mid-game so they can do their private lessons (which is not allowed because I called the city and coaches need a permit to hold lessons here! Only 1 coach has a permit and he's at the last court, always). Players who yell, cuss, and play explicit loud music on their speaker... -Real world vibe. I've had a few arguments at these courts too which has caused me to not come as much/ call the city. I normally keep to myself and only come here to practice by myself since it's most convenient.

I have been to this park numerous times and always wanted to write a very nice review on this…read moreiconic park that is SO BIG with so many different amenities such as somewhat clean restrooms and walking pathways. You can go for a stroll, ride your bike, take your dog for a walk, use their far end exercise equipment, benches, and there are picnic areas for parties, or simply getting sunshine and eating outdoors. Playground for all, a pool, baseball field and once a month, they have Food Trucks that stop on Magnolia street. They have a beautiful library that has been there for decades. They also hold community events such as fundraising, feeding the homeless, and helping others. It's always a great feeling to give back and do a good deed. Yesterday, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the church that I go to pretty frequently had a community event right after the service. There were probably over 60 people in the park helping out with giving out free food from their hot/ cold containers.Cold & hot beverages such as sodas, water, hot coffee, clothes, chips, cookies, candies, packaged Mac N Cheese, Ramen and a lot more.. I voluntarily contributed my services to help out at the park and do some fundraising for the church. If you have a brain, heart, soul, hands and feet, let's all get together and help out the community. Located on Route 170 Freeway, street parking all around, watch out for the signs not to get a ticket. It was a beautiful day/experience at this park. Thanks for keeping it well maintained, nice, green and clean!!

This park is ginormous located near the freeway but so many trees so there's tons of shade and all the grass is lush and green! The only downside was that I saw several dogs off leash so I'm not sure how safe I'd feel coming to this park with my dog. I also read other reviews that there are food trucks and vendors who come to the park so I would love to come back and check those out sometime soon!

But as for the park itself, it's one of the best you are going to do in North Hollywood this said of Burbank Blvd. Outside, they have a nice playground area for children, so it's good for families, and their is a nice big, open soccer field. There is also an outdoor basketball court that is fairly well taken care of. The tennis courts are pretty healthy as well, and there are two of them. On the inside, there is a basketball gym. The upkeep of the gym is definitely nice, and there is a stage as well. As for activities, they've got a pretty good list of them. They have soccer tournaments, they have basketball leagues for most age brackets, they have open bboy dancing on the stage on sundays, and they have a community workout that happens I believe on thursday nights around 7ish pm. So at those times, the tennis courts are jam packed with neighborhood moms and whatnot doing their workout routine thing. Of note, this neighborhood is primarily mexican, and as such, there are very few english speakers hanging out. The employees all are bilingual, and a lot of the neighborhood kids from my apartment go here, and most of them are bilingual. I am as well, but I only speak English and Japanese, so when Im playing basketball, tennis, or soccer with the other locals here, it's a bust as far as me knowing what the heck anyone is talking about lol. I know that my team usually just tries to give me the ball lolol. Anyway, overall, I am very happy that I have a nice place to come and shoot hoops and play tennis and soccer, and it's right next to a Starbucks, Target, and a few chicken and burger joints, so it's easy to eat or drink something right before or after as well. I give the Victory and Vineland Recreation Center, a 3 1/2 out of 5 stars

There are two picnic areas to choose from: Picnic area #1 is roofed while Picnic area #2 is under the trees. What do people love about this place? There are two playgrounds here: one is for kids aged 2-5 while the bigger one is for children aged 5-12. There is also a childcare facility and restroom which is very accessible wherever side of the park you may be. There is also tons of street parking. For the sports buff, there is a tennis court, basketball court, and a football field with stadium. The park could get really busy any moment of the day so if you're planning a party, come early. A group of 20 or less no permit but must come early to secure spot. There are also lots of cool places to visit nearby. It is right next to Valhalla cemetery where the Portal of Wings is located. It is also beside the Armory where army tanks, jeeps and trucks are parked. There is also a shrine dedicated to Larry Maxam, a Burbank hero who served during the Vietnam war. The only downside of this place is being too close to the airport. It is actually along the path of airplanes taking off. Kids do really get excited in the sight of jumbo airplanes right above your head but it could get really loud when it passes by.
