Parking Parking was honestly the most frustrating part…read more Mostly street parking, and there's a paid lot nearby that looks free until you notice the pay station. We got lucky once a game ended and people left, but timing really matters here. Playground Setup (Great for Autism families) I loved that the playground is fenced in. As a mom to a child with autism, that alone made me feel more comfortable. The only downside is there are two entrances/exits, which kind of defeats the purpose. One exit would've made it feel much safer. Play Equipment (No Sand, Huge Win) No sand or wood chips, which was a big plus for us. There's a smaller slide for younger kids and a bigger slide in the same area, which works well if you have kids of different ages. Favorite Spot (The Swing Ride) Outside the fenced area, there's a really fun side to side swing that my son absolutely loved. There are two, but unfortunately one was broken during our visit. Swings (Could Be Better) Only two regular swings for bigger kids. I wish they had toddler or baby swings, especially for families with multiple age groups. Picnic and Extras There are picnic tables (we love picnicking at parks), a soccer field kids were using, and outdoor exercise equipment for adults. Restrooms (Not Great) I didn't use them, but both my sisters said they were very dirty. At least there are restrooms, but definitely not the highlight. Theme (Personal Preference) The playground is decorated with a Día de los Muertos theme. It's well done, but we don't celebrate it. Final Thoughts Overall, Lincoln Park is a nice park with some real pros, especially for families, but also some clear areas for improvement. With better parking clarity, cleaner restrooms, and a safer playground layout, it could easily be even better.

These people are either extremely incompetent or extremely discriminating towards anyone of…read moredifferent skin color. I've encountered racism at this gym before (which is crazy because they work with kids), but it coming from people who actually run the gym was just completely disappointing, distasteful and unprofessional.

I will try to get an honest review about my experience with LA Heights AYSO 1304 as a parent, head…read morecoach and referee. Here is a quick description of AYSO which is a non profit organization who mission statement is the following( from the AYSO Website) "The American Youth Soccer Organization is the oldest national youth soccer program in the United States and a nonprofit. Our mission is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs throughout the country which promote a fun, family environment built on the foundation of our Six Philosophies." The six philosophies are 1) Everyone Plays, 2) Open Registration, 3) Balanced Teams, 4) Positive Coaching, 5) Good Sportsmanship and 6) Player Development. My son wanted to play soccer and unfortunately we missed the signups in Alhambra and was full. Thru a school friend we found Region 1304 in Boyle Heights. The practice field is located at Mendez HS in Boyle Heights(Mission Ave and 1st Street). I have never played soccer and really only watched FIFA on TV. What is quite noticeable about AYSO is that it is all run by volunteers. Hence, why as a parent, will be asked to participate as a volunteer coach, staff and/or referee. Like most parents, initially I expected to drop off my son and watch from the sidelines. For our team Boys 10U, there was a shortage of players, staff and referees. I volunteered to be an assistant but that wasn't' enough as we also needed referees to be able to play official games. In the course of one year, I went from being a parent to a head coach and volunteer Assistant Referee. Why? If I wanted my son to play soccer in our area, this was our only option(at the time). If you live in the City of LA, the department of Rec and parks sponsors recreation soccer. The cost is about $10 and there are a ton of kids playing. My only issue with "Rec Ball" is that it is recreational. To say that it is competitive would be a stretch. It is in my opinion like playing soccer at recess. We wanted our son to learn basics and play competitive sports. AYSO core philosophies are great for beginners. We love that, however, as a parent, be prepared to volunteer to keep the programs running and providing your son or daughters with a great soccer experience. We all work, go to school, and are very busy with life. AYSO will not function properly without volunteers. If you are in a highly organized Region, then your experience will be positive. AYSO 1304 is just beginning and because of that I made the decision to be more active in the organization. All of this, to give my son and now my players, the best experience as possible. In our first year, we went from 0 wins and only scoring 2 goals last spring, to winning our interlock league and Area 1C West San Gabriel Valley championship. I wish I could credit myself with all of the success but unfortunately, I am not the players scoring goals or making defensive plays. Our boys to their job on the field, we as parents do our part. I can not speak for the rest of the teams in our region(other age groups) but I have been successful in getting our kids and their parents to buy into the program and chip in what they can. AYSO 1304 can definitely be bigger and expand to accommodate all of the boys and girls in the community from Ages 4 to 18. That will take time but most importantly, more parent volunteers. I believe, there are better coaches than myself out there. The goal is to get them to volunteer and share their wisdom for this game to the youth. In my opinion, there is talent in every community. We need to water the soil, so that the flowers can bloom. If you are interested in learning more about AYSO1304.org, please check the website(updated website is ongoing) for important dates and information. You can reach out to the regions Commissioner, Rick Chavarria, for any questions. Do I recommend LA Heights AYSO 1304? Absolutely. Did I give it 5/5 stars? No, because I will let the smiles on our players faces and their enthusiasm for the game of soccer, speak for itself. Keep on Yelping.

Gorgeous spot to have a nice dirt path hike through to catch a sunset and some cool views of the…read moreDTLA landscape. The air up there is nice and it's not too windy or anything. Depending on the amount of people up there, it can be calm and surreal enough to make for a good picnic to watch the sky and enjoy the sights. My friend and I didn't walk too far down the dirt path as we parked near the Elysian Park sign. We only walked straight to the large concrete displays with grafitti on them. We both enjoyed our experience here so much and took note of the type of shoes we need to wear next time! Would definitely want to explore back here again!

Elysian Park is one of my favorite hikes/runs right outside of downtown LA, right by Dodger…read moreStadium. Pro tip: Do the hike counterclockwise. When Dodger Stadium is behind you and you face the mountain, start counterclockwise--trust me, you'll thank me. On the way back, you'll enjoy a gorgeous downtown view. At the top, there's a painted seating area where you can rest and soak it all in. A couple of things that could be better: It's a dirt/sand path, so wear shoes you don't mind getting dusty--unless you want to spend each day cleaning them. It's usually around 6,000 steps for me--though that varies--and roughly 400 calories burned (but don't quote me on that!). Overall, it's about a 45-minute hike/jog with ups and downs--just enough to get your heart going, and then you can treat yourself to a city-state after. Pretty good overall--highly recommend it!
