The playground has a pirate ship theme. There are two parts of the playground (bigger kids and smaller kids). My daughter likes to collect pine cones here. The bad: The parking lot is above the playground so you have to go down a few flights of stairs or the ramp to get down to the park area. I think half of this trek doesn't have a ramp. The playground has sand which can be messier for little ones. The picnic tables are mostly small so it isn't great for huge gatherings (plus there are a lot of restrictions on what you're allowed to bring). The playground doesn't have shade. The interesting: They host a variety of kids classes here that include Japanese programs and kids' sports classes.

Nothing very challenging but still fun for the kids. There is a huge grass area where you can have picnics, a barbecue or play sports It's a bit away from the parking lot with a bunch of steps. There are a few handy spice parking spots to the side which is closer It's definitely a nice park to bring the kids

This park has potential to be great, it's a nice big grassy area with a playground, benches, basketball court, restrooms, decent parking. The cons are that there are spider/cob webs all over the playground where children play, on multiple occasions there were cigarette butts on the playground, beer bottles on the grass, sometimes there are homeless people that just stare and makes me feel uneasy, and although it does say no dogs allowed, people have off leash dogs running around here which in my opinion, is pretty unsafe around children.

The play area I'd say os good for ages 6 and under but, maybe some 8-10 years old kids can find joy too. They have a nice picnic area in the spacious grass and not too many tree obstacles to fly a kite too, or even navigate an RC drone or toy without electrical or utility wires either. Parking was easy because the park was empty.

Very small. It took us less than 5 minutes to walk from one end to the other to the LO stopping to walk around the kids play structure. It's would be a nice place to sit and relax except one of the neighboring houses had some renovation going on and all we could hear was the drilling. Street parking is so easy I give it 5 stars because it's dedicated to fallen soldiers and it's not pretending to be something it isn't

Review #958 2026-022…read more This write-up for Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park is long overdue. My son was born at Kaiser Permanente South Bay Center, which is right next door, & my husband wanted me to "waddle-walk" at the park while I recovered from childbirth. O_o As my toddler grew, we started exploring parks away from home (there's 2 within walking distance), & started visiting Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park in 2018 & more frequently in 2021 after the pandemic lockdown. According to the city's webpage, Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park is home to 300+ species of migratory birds... wowza! The lake is part of the natural habitat of S. CA for native plants & animals. I'm not a birdwatcher so I'm unfamiliar with our feathered friends at the park. I only recognized Canada Geese, Mallard Ducks, American White Pelicans, & Hummingbirds (not sure of the species). I've seen a raptor once, but couldn't tell what it was. According to Wikipedia, this is one of the best places to see the secretive "Marsh Wren." With my deteriorating eyesight, I highly doubt I can spot this elusive bird that's known for camouflage, ground creeping instead of flying, & hiding in vegetation. Some guy did spot on on 01/19/26, likely a bird watcher because his name pops up a lot on the log, though he didn't post a pic for validation. If you're the curious type, there's a bird list log of what's been spotted here: eBird (https://ebird.org/). There's lots of features at this park: children's playground, picnic tables & BBQ pits, fitness zone, bike & jogging paths, hiking trail, fishing (must have valid fishing license; catch & release only), & 9-hole par-36 golf course (east of the lake); there's a disc golf course but I don't recall seeing this since I'm usually at the playground with the kiddos, playing frisbee in the shade, watching my hubby's workout at the therapeutic fitness area, or doing my steps on the jogging path. Sometimes my kids would run through the grass, scaring the birds, & I have to lecture them to stop in case an angry mob of geese decides to turn around & attack them because they feel threatened. Yeesh! Luckily it was a "young & dumb" phase that quickly passed. At one point, boating & fishing was allowed in Lake Machado but the water quality took a dump & became toxic so no one is allowed in the water, & "Catch & Release" signs have been posted with warnings not to eat the fish from the lake. We usually park in the parking lot off Vermont Ave. that's somewhat close to the playground; that free lot has more than enough space, no matter day or time of our visits. The 231-acre park should have other lots surrounding the park. We haven't explored the east side of the lake so not sure what's there except for the golf course. What's Interesting: There was an infamous alligator named "Reggie" that lived at the park between 2005 - 2007, & was finally captured on 05/24/2007 & relocated to the L.A. Zoo. He was likely an illegal pet that grew too large & was set free at the park. His former owners likely are unaware this is more harmful to the animal & environmentally harmful because the park is not a suitable habitat/home. Reggie got his 5-mins. of fame & then some... we even saw him at the zoo & shared his infamous story with the kiddos. Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park is a lovely park to enjoy a picnic &/or BBQ, make use of their free therapeutic fitness equipment & get in shape, get lots of extra steps in on the jogging path (my kiddos prefer using their scooters or bikes), or come out & just get some free air.
