It's usually fairly calm when we begin our workouts in this area, the fields are empty and quiet. It's peaceful and the solitude is tranquil. I assume when many matches, games, practices etc are taking place the vibe is different. My son loves this area while I don't typically gravitate towards it much anymore, unless I'm with him. I've grown quite comfy heading right out my front door for upwards of 20mile runs (with out and back routes) but I used to like lapping a place several times. I just don't see the point in driving a car to a place to do what I can do from home. I'd almost rather run here from my neighborhood do a lap or two and run home but I don't typically run West of home. My son and I spend time together here, whether it be running or taking 7-15mile walks (he rucks carrying anywhere from 35-55lbs and I'll typically carry about 20 ounces of water ;) when I go along on these with him. It's a nice area and it gets the job done. I enjoy our time here, its a sensory and pavement change from some of my other routes and we cover a decent amount of ground in one lap (a little over 7miles). If you are looking for a place to get out and long run or walk for hours in a certain area with very few traffic lights I recommend it. It's also a lovely area to just toss out a blanket to meditate, enjoy a meal, stretch or read a book. While there's a ton of greenery and trees there are spots of heavy exposure, so always wear a hat or sunscreen and bring water if you require it. Bathrooms are scarce. Parking is plentiful.

I usually go to the Beverly Hills gym but they are renovating our building (shared with Equinox) so I decided to get a membership close to home since I've been working remote since Dec 2024. I believe most Equinox gyms have a standard and this meets it. It's a bit smaller than the Beverly Hills gym but it gets the job done. They have the same amenities as the Beverly Hills gym and the staff is just as nice. Upon arrival you will always be greeted with a smile and the people at the front desk are always welcoming and helpful. I go early in the mornings but would love to go later just to try their smoothies. Parking is hassle free when I go and I haven't had any issues. I have not showered there yet since I live 5 mins away, so I can not comment on the change of soap and shampoo products people have had an issue with. Overall, I love Equinox, the people, the service, the convenience and the locations are perfect. I do wish the hours on the weekends were the same as the weekdays so I could get my early morning workouts in before the kids early morning soccer games. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

    I had a disturbing experience at Equinox Encino. While wearing a political t-shirt, a staff member…read morepointed at me and seemed to provoke a group of men to follow and harass me. When I started filming for my own safety, management threw *me* out instead of addressing the harassment. No one ever reached out -- I went back on my own to speak with management, and they told me my membership might be revoked. I felt unsafe, singled out, and discriminated against for my political views. As a paying member who always respected the space, I expected better. This location failed to protect me and punished me for defending myself. Think twice before joining if you care about fairness or inclusivity. Update: a rude district manager has since called, not to hear about what happened or to offer help, but to revoke my membership. I wouldn't feel safe going back here regardless, but it was disappointing to hear that even he was perpetuating the toxicity of the situation.

The instructors at water wings (namely Adam who has since promoted) completely transformed my son's relationship with water and the kid is now jumping in having a BLAST. Each teacher brings their own personalities (all wonderful and strong) to the lesson while understanding and working with special/sensory needs. Special shout out to Aaron and Giorgette- my kids' current teachers. They have the patience of saints and both my kids always look forward to seeing them. Very very grateful for these awesome people teaching such an important skill, the helpful people at the front desk, and the manager Ashley who is always available to chat with me and make my kids smile.

She was still in the class with 4 year olds and is almost 6. Multiple kids she started with were moved up in an appropriate timeline but not her. Every time we spoke to them about it they said she was almost ready but never took any action. As someone else with a similar review mentioned, the beginners groups class teachers are useless and treat it as playtime instead of actually teaching my child how to properly swim. Or care enough to make sure she's moving up to a level where she can actually be challenged to grow instead of splash around with toddlers. We will never attend classes here again. We removed her and are going elsewhere.

I'm…read morealways looking for nice parks to bring my dog to play or to sniff and practice training. I'm impressed by the spaciousness, there is so much to do here. I see a softball field and a large dirt path around the whole center as well as so much grass they might use that for soccer and I see more far away. This is like a gem in the middle of bunch of busy streets! Parking is easy and there are tons of spots but also street parking if you want. I read some other reviews that the clean up isn't great but I'm here today on a Tueaday at 11am and I see zero trash, everything looks really clean so maybe they've improved the maintenance. My only qualm is the trees are far and in between on the side I parked so I wouldn't be able to come on sunny days, I'm very sun sensitive and the trees are few and off the dirt path. There is a shadier side across the way where the kids playground is and that looks nice but I would avoid it with my dog. By the way if you are missing your white metal water bottle, you left it in this beautiful tree here by the parking lot.

    This is a great recreation center in the San Fernando Valley…read more There is a large playground in the southeast corner of the park. There is a pool. There is an indoor gym/facility. There's an artificial turf soccer field. There are also batting cages? But I don't really know the details there. There is a large dirt track around four baseball fields. Around the track there are various pieces of exercise equipment. Be aware, there are always a ton of dogs. A lot of them off leash. The main reason this place gets four stars though is that there isn't enough parking and the parking there is, is terrible.
