    Whenever I bring Leo out for a ride, it is very hard not to search for the closest park near me …read more I researched while we sat and admired the grounds. It is a rule of thumb in my home. There are benches throughout the park. It has paved walkways, which was perfect for my mother in law. As she walked and admired the landscape. I loved the fact that this sparked conversation, brief as it was, I'm grateful for the small moments. Dementia is tough ! Back to those huge and several pasion fruit plant geez I feel there trees lol , they are planted against a few trees. I have never seen anything like that. However, I have that same plant. I never knew what it was until today. Now I know it's potential yikes Back to the park, in 2012 when Louis Teuchert contacted the city with an interest in donating this property to the city as part of his will. He envisioned a museum or a park. Amazing, right ! In 2017, the park came to light. "Louis and William J. Teuchert Park" Teuchert Park is in honor of Louis' brother, Private First Class William Joseph Teuchert. William lost his life during the Korean War on August 27, 1951. This occurred during an almost 3 week battle where the Americans claimed a 2 mile by 3 mile area known as Bloody Ridge. Thank you for your service. Along with this property being donated and turned into a park, it is also a memorial for a local lomita resident named Lisa Patterson, who lost her life in Las Vegas 2017 Country Music Festival. She was a local favorite and worked locally with her husband. The statue was dedicated in 2021 as a California State Memorial along with stepping stones of each individual that list their life.

I googled places near me and this showed up. Would never suspect this place was dog friendly or even considered a "park" but I also love that about this place. Mind you it's very small but perfect enough for me to help train my dogs there to stay on paths while they get accustomed to learning commands. We were the only ones there today and there is a doggy bowl near the water fountain and someone left free doggy bags for people which was extremely thoughtful and kind. We were there about 30 min, enough time for my dogs to get the hang of the pathways, practice obeying some simple commands while getting outside. Plenty of benches too if you wanted to just hang out and relax and I especially love all the lavender plants around, smells lovely.

    I am not a fan of Dr. Who. I have caught a few episodes and I did not succumb to the galactic…read moretravels of the cycling Whos. However, I respect and truly admire that they added a cultural term to modern vocabulary: the Tardis Effect, which basically means that you enter a space and it is more spacious and complex than you can imagine based on what you believe it can hold based on exterior. Another example is Snoopy's Dog house. And as a final example, I offer a person's head. It does not seem like it holds a lot but it holds an ever expansive universe of thoughts, ideas and memories. This park can serve as another example of the Tardis Effect. It is a small park, like legit tiny, but when you look from its multiple view points you see the vastness of the pacific ocean and shore lines, which can induces so much within your head universe. Like one time I went and I imagined that a sea monster would rise from the waters far away. The sea monster was like Godzilla, except purple and its blast were white and froze people to death. Missiles could not quell its fury. I imagined that the solution would have to be mystical like when Perseus defeated the Kraken using Medusa's head. I repeat that the park is small by feet or metric cubes, or what ever unit of measure is used to measure a park's length, but when you enter you will see more than you expected, if you let yourself. I wonder what the opposite of the Tardis Effect is? What is something that is super big but when you step inside is actual small. Hopefully, a whale's belly cause I might end up there one day and wish to survive. If you are not one who embraces imaginative trips, this place offers something more grounded: beautiful views that are plainly gorgeous. When you allow yourself to sit and view, you want to take pictures, you want to have a date, you want to have a meaningful conversation, you want to meditate. It is a small gulp of fresh air that can be released into a big space. Logistically, parking is hard to come by. I am a local so I park on the street nearby and walk. I do not have a parking permit, I find street parking. The walk from the park to the car is not that long and depending on your fitness level it can be exhausting or a breeze. I went today to hike some of its neighboring trails. And the trails were closed. So expect this place to be a treat, if you are the type of person who can take the small of the earth and see the large of the earth.

    Great way to spend an afternoon on a Saturday. Many families here Park is huge. Definitely…read morerecommend coming here.

    Imagine rummaging through a treasure chest, looking for the bobble that is worth the most. Your…read morehands touch different forms of riches like bricks and Spanish Pirate coins of gold, and also strands of pearls, mounds of rubies and sapphires. You stop searching when both your hands cradle a diamond so large it could not fit into a happy meal box. Thinking you hold the key to your future, personal island, you ignore the green jewel slightly visible amongst doubloons, all the while not knowing that the green jewel was an emerald that dated back to one of the first QI dynasty's and thus worth 100 times more than the diamond you bolted with. That is basically what Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park is, a sprawling, green oasis that only shows its green edges just a bit so it kind remains a dormant emerald of lush price. I have been to this park many times, and thus I know that if one walks a bit into the park innards, one will cross a big lake. Not great lake big, not Chicago river big, but it is for sure not the type of lake that can be described as small, or medium, or dirty with trash. It is a clear blue lake that can be witnessed while sitting down to call calm from the ripples unto you, or you can fish there, if that is your pleasure, or you can just walk past it and admire the blue beauty. When you are walking make sure to keep your eyes on the ground on occasion, because bird remains can be squished. The remains on the ground are logs. I know this might sound elementary but on this day I connected that bird remains dropped from above go splat. I always assumed that bird remains were a splat from inception. But after this visit I realized that bird remains that are delivered close to the ground remain logs but delivered far from above are splats. If you are into ducks and geese, you will see these walking about, not frolicking, there was none of that just peaceful strolls. I clipped a video of a single goose or duck taking a waddle, and eating grass while its neck was crooked. Of particular wonder, was the bird chirps and tweets, audible- somewhat- in the video. These bird sounds were more present when I was there, of course, so they should be appreciated, not by listening to a video, but by listening to them while you take your own video of them. I think the greatest asset of this park is how big it is iin the inside- not Grand central park big, not football field big- but big enough for it to have different trails that lead to different areas of the park. Like this one time, I went to the park and I found an area that had like broken ground and in the center there was a tire. I felt like that was a perfect place to sit and meditate. In the center of cracked ground, atop a tire. But here is the thing, I have tried to find it, and have failed. I have found it other times, it is not like a shifting dimensional place, it is just not easily found cause of the size of the park and its different forks. As I walked the park, I thought of forks in the road and how they might impact the life trajectory of a human being. I pondered on how sometimes we take the left instead of the right path and how this means our life changed completely because of that decision. Taking a path and not the other is for sure a huge decision, not like leaving lettuce out of your subway turkey, but more like not getting lettuce on your Turkey Cobb. After a decision is made, after a fork path is chosen, and the other fork path is left behind, how can a person continue in peace with the choice they made and not really wonder what life would be if the other path was chosen? I do not know the answer to this big question but I guess it comes from fully understanding what will both paths demand of us as we walk through them, and what they will offer once we complete them not only in tangible and concrete ways but also in how they will help us fulfill our heart and hope's purpose. Like, after a path is crossed can we ever really know that where we arrived was always meant to be? I guess not. But I do not want to settle and just say that this is the reason why the journey is more important than the destination because the destination is never the afterthought. Thus in some cases the path belongs to the destination and the choice of which path to take belongs to the person. So before starting a path a person should, when ever possible, think, not only about the journey, not only about the destination, but also about how the path will make them feel from start, to middle and finish, and let those thoughts also define the choice of which path to take when we humans face a fork in the road. Yeah, this park will also have you collecting your thoughts, and I wonder what you will do with them. If reflection by a pond, is not your thing this park also much more. It offers the opportunity for steps that can be completed while walking or running. If you have kids and are looking for a free way to entertain them they also have a play area and grass.

There's a beautiful big lake in the middle with ducks and other animals. Great for bird watching, great for playing catch with your dog or just getting your kids out for a walk. Honestly, highly recommend it.
