    Hate Crime Incident Barnes Park Baldwin Park Ca

    I have been a resident in Baldwin Park Ca since 2019 and an active resident whom works out at Barnes Park while my child plays. Today what put fear in me was graffiti being written with the words " NIGGERS GTFO." As a woman of color I do not feel safe in my community with seeing this on display on government property, I have also experienced hateful remarks by others in the Baldwin community in the past however, seeing it in writing on a public structure is very disturbing and a red flag. In addition, I have video footage of the concrete evidence, with the graffiti and the park has surveillance. Im afraid to address this with Barnes Park and Baldwin Park Police because BPD will not do anything about it. I will never return to this park or bring my child. Might as well relocate to a more welcoming environment that does not reciprocate hate towards minorities and that is more so ever safe. Barnes Park should be held liable because they left this hate on their property. Security should had pro trolled and documented this offense.

    This guy is a regular here... creepy, but just try to avoid him and he won't bother you.

    This park, and the neighborhood as a whole, has come a long way since the days when NSBP and ESBP were warring against each other. And despite the noisy 10/605 freeway interchange right next door, it's an otherwise fairly tranquil park with a nice track to walk or run around the perimeter; there's a few courts and a nice splash pad for kids. Plenty of canopies/shelters for picnics and parties. Like most parks in the region, in the summer the little soccer leagues come by and heavily use the open grass area. The restrooms are fairly clean other than the typical tagging and graffiti. So why the -1 star? While gang violence has retreated over the years, like most lower-income areas in SoCal, the homeless/druggy problem has gotten out of control. On the NW corner of the park one of these vagrants repeatedly wire strips the chain link fence to get to the Caltrans property alongside the freeway (presumably where his "home" is). They mostly leave you alone but I certainly wouldn't want my kid walking around here at night. Also be careful where you walk on the grass, some of the older Latino folks are so lazy and never pick up their dogs crap, with some even letting their little dogs run around like wild undomesticated animals. Still though, I give it 4/5 stars. P.S. - Recently the city of Baldwin Park obtained a grant that it's going to use to expand and improve this park. I can only hope they include a dog park corral in the plans. And walling off that whole West side of the property facing the freeway to keep the knuckleheads out would be great, too.

This park may look small but is much bigger when you come for a visit. My husband, our little girl dog and I have been to this part a handful of times for dog play dates and also recently to take our family photo. The park has beautiful backdrops that would be perfect for any photo shoot. But also a place to walk (there is a loop trail here that you can walk), (covered) picnic tables, a fireplace and a playground. There are also restrooms available. This park does provide some shade and is very beautiful when the flowers are in bloom. There is also plenty of greenery. The park is pretty quiet and has always been an enjoyable visit for us.

This park felt like a comfortable adventure. Did I feel safe? Yes. I primarily saw groups upon groups of families. Many were holding celebrations and gatherings. The location felt clean & well-maintained, and it's one of the few parks that had security cameras from up above. What utilities? There's a large, fun playground area. It has nets to climb, a plastic rock wall, and plenty of slides. There's a park exercising machine area nestled by the playground, and there's a basketball hoop. There's also a volleyball area, baseball field, and concrete cornhole boards for tossed beanbags. There's a restroom, dog waste plastic bag station, water fountains, and many public picnic tables for gatherings. I especially liked how these concrete tables had cover and an installed grill station. What are the negatives? There's no clear walking trail. However, visitors can wander freely since there's a spiderweb of concrete pathways. It also lacks multiple basketball courts, tennis courts, or other familiar areas. Overall, Irwindale Park is scenic, beautiful, and clean. It's a wonderful destination for a family to lounge and relax. The area is well-maintained, and I felt happy as I observed an Irwindale Squirrel pose in front of me for the camera. I enjoyed my visit. 4.7 out of 5

There's a pretend airplane for kids; there's a small tropical playground where toddlers can run into a cat's mouth; and there's a lot of nets for climbing. This location is open from 5AM to 10PM. Did I feel safe? Yes. This park only had families with children. It's also one of the West Covina Parks that confidently post their rules. There's many signs labeled "Park Watch" to keep residents safe. What utilities? There's two main playgrounds. One play ground has an airplane that kids can climb into. That same playground has nets where they can freely climb; the floor is spongey foam, so they have a soft landing. The other playground is tropical and fenced. Toddlers can run near plastic trees, and there's a plastic cat with an open mouth where they can sprint through. The location also has a fenced baseball field; there's a public shaded patio with tables; and there's public park gym equipment equipped with umbrellas for shade. There's also a restroom and water fountains. What are the negatives? This location doesn't feel very pet friendly. I didn't see any pet waste bags, and there's not really a walking area. There's a possible concrete walking loop, but visitors will be walking on the sidewalk. Also, it lacks many common utilities (example: no basketball courts, no tennis courts, etc). Overall, Palm View Park squeaks into a 5 Star because it feels memorable for families. The playgrounds are very adorable, and I like how there's beautiful, big trees near the seating area. If searching for some interesting playgrounds, this is a good choice if already nearby. 4.5 out of 5

We've taken the kids to a few movies. 4/5 Recreation Renovated playground gives the kids much needed play.

Love the fact the parking is close to the park entrance and several co-located picnic benches for those with mobility issues.

Lots of beautiful open grass space, incredible playground, and impressive an coffee stand. This is what our communities look like when we invest in them.
