    Garden pathway
    Daylady1028 ..

    A hidden gem indeed! (^_^)/ The garden is a decent size with lots of seating scattered around. There're both paved and dirt paths. Very pleasant to sit, chat, read a book, or just enjoy the day. It's free and you can bring your dog (on a leash). Grab a poop bag before entering though, just in case, since the doggy poop bags are only around the park outside of the garden. I liked the animal paw imprints on the walkway. The park is spacious with a nice grassy center, dirt path/walkway winding around it. Benches and tables are scattered around. There's a small, outdoor workout area too. The parking lot isn't too big, but holds about 50 cars. I didn't have an issue. This street near this place isn't too busy, so you can really relax and enjoy some quiet without all the city noise. I gotta come back when it's warmer outside and things start blooming~

    Sulphur (I think) Buckwheat

    We came here on a Sunday and the center was closed, so this is for the park only. There were only a few other people there. It's relatively small so if you're like me looking for a place to walk a couple miles, run, or bike this probably wouldn't work. This park does work for short nature walks, low water landscape ideas, learning about native plants and trees, photography, and seeing some interesting animals like butterflies, ground squirrels, and a llama! They have a playground, a workout area, big boulders, and some benches. I noticed they were giving out free compost earlier and they had free mulch for the taking while I was there. I loved the sulphur, red, and California buckwheat. It's probably the nicest park I've seen of this sizes.

    Love the architecture of this building!

    It is a calm, natural paradise with a brook, trees, plants, butterflies, a tortoise named Sam, and even a small cat!

    I almost don't want to post....this is my go to place for fun activities. All the staff have been…read morefriendly and kind. My son also belongs and we are great supporters to all their events. You must join but the annual fee is reasonable. They have two major events and these help hem be low cost to the community. We do most of the summer events and folks that are not members can pay to do activities and just pay more than a member. pearl, Melissa, Tony and Kyle are great staff. I am forgetting some, sorry.

    I've been a member of the Community Center for a few years now. They offer many different programs…read morefor all ages. But due to work, I have only been able to take a few classes throughout the years. But I do love the variety of classes that they offer and how constant their schedule is. If you are looking for a Japanese school for your child to attend, they offer that. If you would like to just learn more about the community through the different cultural classes, just sign up for the emails and you can be alerted for upcoming classes that they offer. I've taken amigurumi (crochet), ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), and a cooking class. All of the instructors are great and mostly volunteers. So it just shows you what a great community there is. They have festivals through the year and also help put on the West Covina Cherry Blossom Festival. They also host the West Covina obon at the center but it is organized by the Buddhist church which is based out of the community center. So there is just a lot of activities that you can get involved with.
