SoCal weather really said "pick a personality" and then refused to commit, so I took advantage of its good mood and clocked in at Arcadia Park like a picnic professional. Big, beautiful shady trees?!?!?! Check!!!!! Perfect blanket-sprawling real estate?!?!?!? Also check!!!!! It's the kind of spot that makes you forget the weather might flip on you in 20 minutes, so you eat, lounge, and live your best picnic life while the sun is also feeling fabulous!! read more

Beautifully well maintained dog friendly park, so glad that they close late. We are here almost everyday, many dog friendly owners walk their dogs here. You have to come if you have a fur baby. Lacy park is very nice too, but it closed just too early compared to Arcadia park. Highly recommended. read more

Swung by en route between Pasadena and Arcadia for a quick walk for the dogs. There was plenty of free parking, doggie bag stations, clean pavement and shaded paths. So many trees and green grass for the dogs to sniff!! They loved and we loved it too!!! Both humans and the dogs appreciated the greenery and peaceful settings after a long car ride. We were all car sick from driving long distances -- from Palm Springs to Pasadena all in one go. What a treat it was to stop by at this nice county park. I know exactly where I am stopping by whenever I am in the area with dogs. Next time, I wouldn' even mind doing picnics so I can enjoy the takeaway meals / coffee / pastries on the go. read more

I saw workers cleaning up on a Saturday morning and maintaining the property. read more

Stopped by Arcadia County Park for a quick walk while I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised. It's a huge, open park with well-kept grass and plenty of parking. There are tennis and pickleball courts available, and lots of space for families, kids, or anyone wanting to relax outdoors. Perfect spot for a picnic, a casual walk, or some light recreation. Would definitely come back! read more

I love this park. I used to come here sometimes when I lived in Monrovia back in the days. It not far from San Terriseda Hospital and Santa Anita Racetrack. Its one of the biggest parks out in the San Gabriel Valley area. People come here to barbecue, exercise, play sports. Good place for family, children, and pets. I believe their is a golf course nearby too. Parking is enormous too. Its always a pleasure to visit here all the way from Orange County. read more

Somehow it reminds me of Mile Square Park, though it isn't as big as that. In general, it was still a nice park. My fur baby approved ^__^ read more

The Arcadia County Park is a great place to take a walk or go for a run. Walking or running the perimeter of the park takes about 40 min (walking) and maybe 15-30 min running depending on your pace. There is a ppath through the upper third of the park that some people cut through to take a shorter route. There are lots on the west (Huntington Dr.) and east (Santa Anita Ave.) sides. The Santa Anita side has lots of shade from trees over hanging the sidewalk. The south side (Campus Dr.) accross from Aracdia High has little shade and is the hottest or coldest stretch depending on the season. The park has many picnic amenities. The picnic tables near the lots on both the west and east sides frequently have big groups doing activities on the weekends. There is a public pool, lawn bowling, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a golf course, horseshoe pits, and a playground for kids. For a full list of activities, more information, and whether reservations are necessary for your activity, see their official website. The north east corner has a fountain with military memorial and history of the park info nearby. On memorial and vetrans days there is normally some sort of special memorial set up. The flags show in the pictures are from memorial day. The history of the park is interesting. The park is a relatively safe place during the day, however, homeless people sometimes are by the fountain and occassionally in other parts of the park. There are no known issues, but it would just be wise to avoid the park at night unless group activities are taking place there. We definitely recommend visiting. read more

It is a beautiful family oriented park. My son and I walk his dog here quite often. Plenty of shade and everyone seems to be very friendly.

Fantastic park great for dogs walks and relaxation could be maintained a little better.

One of my favorite parks in SGV. I feel slightly safer her than any other parks I have been to. The park is huge and plenty of parking space. It's connected to the golf course. I come here for regular runs and it's a good distance per loop if 2.5 miles. You can also engage in other activities. They have a tennis court, basketball court, swimming pools and etc. a lot of people come to this park to exercise after hours. read more

Arcadia County Park is a huge park on Huntington Drive. I have only driven through here to drop off some chips for the homeless on behalf of my Mom. I haven't actually visited this park to picnic or even walked around it. From what I can see, it's a very pleasant park and perfect for family and friends gatherings and events. Tons of tables and benches throughout the park. Tons of trees so great shade all around. You might be visited by some birds, squirrels, etc. I love nature! We're all part of nature, you know. Famous quote by Albert Einstein "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." So very true! Flowers don't worry and/or fight with the bees on why pollination didn't happen timely... bees just know and pollinate when time is right and flowers receive what was given and do their part! Seamless team effort! LOL One of these cooler days, I'll stroll through it or maybe even throw a party here. No pics to share at this time, but will try to take some next time. If you're in the Arcadia area, drop on by and check out this park! Happy Nature'ing! read more

Today we had a church picnic of sorts. The park is quite large and plenty of shade throughout the park. Great place to have a large gathering while social distancing from your neighbors. Parking on Huntington and Santa Anita. They have tennis courts, baseball field, swimming pool on this patch of land. If you're into golf right next door they have the Santa Anita 18 hole golf course for beginner- intermediate players read more

This park is huge, and has offerings for many different age groups. It is located right next to a golf course, and boasts a large center for senior citizens as well. The green lawn extends over a large area, and parking is never in shortage. My favorite spot in this park is where the pull-up bars sit. I can come here and get a quick outdoors workout while conducting business in the area. I've done so already several times, and I have good food options nearby for a post-workout meal. The area is safe. I haven't run into any sketchy people thus far. The police regularly patron the area as well, so no funny business here. Whether you're bringing kids to the playground, getting a game in at the tennis courts, or barbecuing with friends or family outdoors, this is a good park to come to. Let's keep it clean and safe, folks! read more

I love coming to this large, neighborhood park. It's perfect for walking, running, sports, and there are multiple picnic areas. Lots of parking and pretty mountain views with large grassy areas perfect for hanging out while staying socially distant. There are homeless people around the water fountain area, especially in the late evenings, but I have never experienced any issues. Sometimes police is patrolling as well. Overall, it feels very safe and a great way to spend time outdoors. read more

This park is always great and relaxing. I actually went this time for my pre- wedding pictures. The only sad part was the waterfall was off n that's one of my reasons I wanted pictures here. But, overall it's pretty good. read more

Arcadia County Park - Homeless trash - Parks Near Me - Arcadia, California

Playground was very dated and in full sun with zero shade. Tried to use the splash pad, which is inside the swimming pool area but it was only open for 90 minutes a day. However, there is was no accurate information about this online. Signage was lacking to find the water areas and playground. Sewage was overflowing next to the pickleball court and smelled terribly. The park is large but seems oddly laid out for maximum use, dated facilities and inconsistently maintained overall. Other park goers seemed very engaged in tennis and pickleball. read more

Wanting to find a place to walk around rather then been cooped up at home? This is a very good open park to get some fresh air do do some exercises. The walking path is at least a couple of mile long and the park is very spaces with plenty of shades from the beautiful trees. Although the exercise and the tennis court areas are temporary closed, you can still walk your dogs and take a jog here. I just love the green grass and the flowers on the Jacaranda trees. We took our mom out for a walk and took some pictures to celebrate her 88th birthday. She just loved to soak up the outdoor fresh air. It was quite worth it seeing the smile on my mom's face. read more

Always love to walk my dog in this beautiful park. It got a lot of green pastures, trees, and walking path that lead to a lot of places in the park like children area, BBQ area, tennis court, swimming pool, baseball field etc. But they do have a homeless problem in this park. A lot of them can be seen in the summer lying and occupying benches. But I never have any problem running into them. There are plenty of restroom in this park. It can be really busy certain time during the day. It seems like the local high school use this park for their running training. You can see high school kids (tons) running in big circle around the whole park around 2pm daily and sometimes early morning training as well. And when they run, they don't run in the walk way. They run wherever they like. That means, across the grass on the walk way, whatever they want. Most of the time they really scare my dog. read more

This park is huge! One huge gated baseball field, two softball fields, 12 tennis courts and a pro center, an aquatic center, lawn bowling, horseshoes, BBQ areas, kids playground, workout station, and 4 bathrooms! This is adjacent to the Arcadia Golf Course and together they take up the whole block! Lots of parking! I consistently walk at night in the park, and feel safe. Once in a while, the Arcadia police will drive through the park. I always see other people walking, even at 10PM. The tennis courts stay open past 10PM, so there's always a place to walk where it's fairly well lit. There is a paved walkway, but most of it is grass, grass, and more grass. Ever since that crazy wind and rain we had, a lot of the mature trees have been dying. A lot of them fell in the wind. So they are replanting. That being said, there are still a lot of huge trees, many of them on the north side of the park. This is a great place to have a family gathering, or just to bring kids to run around, read more

Used to love this park but the last time I went it looks so depressing. The grasses are all brown and dead, more trash and homeless people. Sad to see it turning like this and hope it can be nicer again for us family to come and enjoy. read more

This park is really big!! Lots of room for your to run around and get your exercise. You can run around the park and explore the bowling green area and the tennis courts.

This vast expanse of grass is actually pretty nice park. There are lots of trees for shade, at least two nice sized baseball/softball diamonds, A playground for the little guys, and several picnic facilities. Interestingly, there is also a senior center with lawn bowling and what I can only imagine is shuffleboard. One of the nuances of the nearby Goldline construction on and adjacent to the 210 freeway is that several of the displaced homeless folks that used to live along the defunct railroad tracks have now taken up semi permanent residence in the park. Certainly, homeless people are not an uncommon site in suburban and urban parks. For the most part, these people seem to keep to themselves, however, and the general feeling in this park is that kids are safe... So long as they are supervised. We bring the little ones here for the occasional play date, and more often for AYSO soccer. The facilities are well-kept and clean. Before plantar fasciitis destroyed my running career, I join the many people who use this part as a long-distance running track. The adjacent municipal golf course, along with nearby restaurants, shops, schools, the police station, City Hall, Methodist Hospital, and so many other community resources make this a good central location for just about any endeavor. On most days, one can hear of the drum line from Arcadia high school in the distance... Which sort of ads to be a small town feel I'm in this pretty big suburban community. read more

Arcadia County Park - Pano park AYSO style - Parks Near Me - Arcadia, California

It's a very large with various tennis court, large baseball field and tons of pic-nic bbq areas. The kids playground was very crowded at 11am on a Sunday. The bad thing is that there is no shaded areas in the kids playground so it probably gets too hot in the summer. They have a small rock climbing wall adjacent to the slide and some other climbing obstacles. There is a huge separate sand area. read more

Don't be here past 10pm...its against Arcadia law...me and my OVER 18, UNIVERSITY-educated friends were sitting on the swings by the Hugo Reid statue and were rudely interrupted with our winter break reunion by 2 extremely bored policeman thinking we were local potheads. After a little uncomfortable chatter, proving we were smarter than them, we walked back to our cars and left. So please, don't get put in that stupid position with them. One even asked me "so if i search you right now, theres nothing thatd you wish you didnt have on you?" Sorry officer, not many places stay open past 10 in A-town, so an OPEN PUBLIC park was our next choice to catch up. The renovated peacock fountain is lovely but placed at the loudest corner of Huntington and Santa Anita...why sit there and inhale exhaust fumes? No thanks. read more

Yay!!! It's always nice to see taxpayer dollars *NOT* being squandered on bullshit. :) This park has something for everyone. Tennis courts, baseball fields, swimming pools, designated picnic areas, etc. It's also a great place to walk, jog, and/or run. There is even a nice playground area for children (complete with sandbox). There are also tons of squirrels running around for said children to giddily chase. Or alternatively, for grown-ass men like myself to giddily chase ... some things just never get old. By public park standards, the restrooms are actually not that scary as far as cleanliness goes. While they could definitely be more hygienic, they're not frightening enough for me to resort to the "behind-the-bushes" alternative. Bring your own water supply, unless you enjoy swapping life-threatening pathogens with other patrons of the park - the water fountains I've tried to use here have nearly zero pressure, and you pretty much have to suck the water out of the exit hole. There is plenty of parking available here - you can either park in the lot off of Huntington Drive, the lot off of Santa Anita, or on the curb off of Huntington Drive. The park is open from sunrise to sunset. The park's environment is very safe and family friendly - I can't say I've ever seen a drug deal go down here. I used to regularly see LA County Police (OPS) officers patrolling here when their agency was still in existence. After they were absorbed by LASD, I have yet to see a single deputy patrolling this park. Surprise, surprise. read more
