Electric Vinyl

I have enjoyed concerts here before, but tonight the decibel level is off the charts. I have Heroes ear plugs and it is still painful. Do they want us to go deaf???? The instruments and vocals are not clear due to the loudness setting. Too bad. The United Party Heroes band are playing good songs. I left early.

The outing today was so fun! My daughter was part of the Korean class at Walker Middle School. All friends and family were there. So neat! Great food trucks. Great shopping too!

Central Park has quickly became one of our favorite spots to come and walk. The park itself is plenty large to get some miles in walking by yourself or with your pets (dog bags are available in dispensers throughout the park) and everyone has always been polite. The park also features three lighted basketball courts, a lighted baseball field, a lighted soccer field and two lighted tennis courts for anyone into recreational sports as well as picnic and barbecue areas. The park has a couple of outdoor rental facilities such as the plaza and a bicentennial gazebo as well as numerous indoor rental facilities as well. There are two small playgrounds for the kiddies and even a tetherball (a rarity to find these days) so there is something for the whole family to enjoy. Parking is typically not too bad but can get quite full on the weekends but street parking in adjacent neighborhoods is also available if needed. The park is around a mile in half in total length if you factor in the other side across the street (although this area does not feature any of the amenities of the side near the parking lot. If you are looking for a great place to have a relaxing walk and take in some fresh air then this park is an excellent option. *For the non religious people please be on the lookout for the preachy lady who insist on stopping people to ask if you are Christian. We are not churchgoers and have nothing against anyone from any religion but we would like to be left alone to have our own beliefs and not get persuaded to to buy into yours. You are free to believe in whatever you wish as am I and feel this is not something you go around all willy nilly on at a park attempting to recruit*

You know, the park itself really isn't much. I mean, you have basketball courts, a playground, lots of grass, some bbq areas and a outdoor theatre setting. However, if you factor in some of the activities with the parks and recs and the library across the street, it is great for people like me who lives close by. I can't find it on their website, but this summer thus far, we've had puppet shows, magic shows, science shows....all free for kids. What a great way to learn something educational and entertaining. There are also summer bands that are free via their website http://www.cityoflapalma.org/index.aspx?nid=220 Check it out, it's a great way to spend time with the family and the community.

We're the presents.

Great coffee, but one of the new servers had to leave for an acting audition and the manager Gunther fired him. Oh wait, I thought this was Central Perk. We take our students to Central Park obviously because it is close, but we love the location. Aside from being a great place for sports (tennis, basketball, baseball), and having a cool cement path that winds past huge electrical towers through an open field that gives you plenty of space to run from an angry student The park has a huge gazebo and a wide amphitheater area (with cement steps for a seating area) which is perfect for our annual Spring Fair, graduation ceremony, and Christmas concert, with a huge Christmas tree, or "Holiday Shrub" if you hate God.

Love coming to this park because of three reasons 1. The people are so fun to talk to and to play basketball with. I come here every tuesday and have always had a blast! Everyone is competitvely playing and happy at the same time. 2. The environment has a very friendly and safe feeling to it. Best of all it is very lighted up and everywheee there are cute dogs! 3. Bathrooms are really clean.

This is a cute small park hidden in the La Palma neighborhood. It has the basic essentials that a park provides such as: basketball courts, baseball field, and gazebos for party rentals. Most of these areas gets filled quickly all throughout the day and especially on weekends so arrive early and reserve your spot. The gazebos are scattered - mostly in each entrance of the park. They are covered and each have about 4 to 5 long benches included inside the gazebo. They do have little lighting inside but those are not always working. There is also a playground for kids to play with, but it is smaller compared to bigger parks so it does get pack at all times. They also have a small stage area with seating available (bring a small pillow to sit on - you are literally sitting on cement). They have free summer concerts that includes cook outs and musical shows from local artists. These are usually on Saturday nights from June all the way to August. I highly suggest to bring lawn/beach chairs and blankets as seats as seatings are first come first serve. You can check on the city's website to see who the performers for each weekend will be. During Christmas time they do visits with Santa, arts & crafts, and tree lighting all are free to visit. It is dog friendly and they have poo bags scattered throughout the grass area. If you love to run this is the perfect place to go especially in the morning between 6-8AM as there are only a couple joggers and plenty of open spaces to run around. There is a nice long trial from one end of the park to the other end to jog or walk, this is the only trail that actually gives you a long length to run as they do not have a track and field area. The grass area and the grounds are clean and not many trash scattered around. The parking lots are small and you can always park on the neighborhoods across the street. As for professional picture taking you can cover the whole grounds quickly being a small park, but there are not many beautiful sceneries in the background if you are looking for cool structures.

Sprawling park has a Paul Revere theme, with several covered bridges, a harbor with a pretend tall…read moremast boat, the north church tower, all on an island surrounded by a moat of water. Water features attract a lot of fowl including Canadian geese, mallard ducks and so many more duck species, plus of course seagulls and crows, pigeons, and a large number of turtles. Very fun for kids to explore. Slides and climbing are built into the structures. Adjacent to neighborhoods so lots of street parking, as well as a separate parking lot. Playground equipment geared for the 3 to 12 year old kids. Lots of covered sheds and picnic tables- those are available for Cerritos residents to rent, but otherwise are free for use. Also has grills if you want to barbecue. Clean bathrooms, onsite toddler pre-K programs offered. Lots of well maintained grassy areas and shady trees.

Came here with the kids and honestly this park is really nice. Super clean, spacious, and a lot to…read moredo. The playground area is great for all ages my kids had a blast and didn't want to leave. The lake area with the little church in the background is a nice touch, makes it feel more relaxing and not just your typical park. Good walking paths, plenty of grass, and nice spots to just sit and chill. Everything felt well kept and safe, which is a big plus when you're bringing kids. Plenty of room so it didn't feel overcrowded either. Only thing watch out for duck poop on the walkways and grass, especially near the water. Overall, great spot for families. Definitely coming back

I went to Liberty Park for my cousin's son's first birthday party, a big event with catering and…read moredecorations and about a hundred Koreans. They took over a giant covered outdoor area with a ton of picnic tables, clean and open and perfect for a large party (I assume they had to rent this). I've been to a lot of parks over the years, and most of them don't have comparable event spaces. The one disadvantage was that we were far away from the playground, much to the chagrin of my three-year-old, who kept demanding to leave the party in favor of the play structure he saw in the distance. Liberty Park is just a huge place with several different zones. We even switched parking lots once we got there and figured out where the actual party was, on the Camp Liberty side of the park. The party was really nice, pleasant and relaxing. We had lunch, watched the dohl ceremonies (he grabbed the stethoscope, securing his future as a doctor), took pictures, and hung out with family. Then, because I'm not a monster, I took my boy to the playground. It was a great playground, well maintained and pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Fewer kids, in fact, than teenagers working out and playing loud music nearby. I'm not complaining. In fact, my child was fascinated by their music and got as much entertainment from their speakers as he did from the play structure. I don't live anywhere near Cerritos, but if I did, I'd make good use of Liberty Park. What a lovely neighborhood resource, for both special events and everyday recreation.

This is such a well rounded park with a community center, walking track, pickleball, tennis courts,…read moreplayground and more! Highly recommend these courts for pickleball too because there are a lot of courts, friendly players and it's not too advanced of play. Been coming for the last three months and I see the same players all the time. Only downside of playing pickleball here is that the courts close at like 8pm-8:30pm which is actually atrocious. I forget exactly. When I run to the restroom from the tennis/pickleball area, which looks exactly like your average park restroom. I see people on the playground and other pickleball courts (3 in the middle) (2 on side). The track is crowded too! The parking does get full in the evening so you may need to park on the street.
