This park is awesome open gym it feels so surreal to be at this park this day and age and see kids…read moreenjoy the environment/atmosphere. It's like kids don't go to the park anymore. They'd rather stay indoors on computer, on phones (social media) or just lounge around watching tv. Life is happening all around you. Get up get out and get going. Plus, doing activities at the park is a healthy move keeps the kids actively involved in something rather it's playing basketball, passing a ball around, tag, roller skating, skate boarding, on the playground (monkey bars, slides, swings) etc. I miss this for the kids today. I'm so happy I gave two very active boys whose into sports (basketball) so why not take advantage! The park is where kids need to be doing living an active healthy life.

Very very nice park and neighborhood with a beautiful and spacious community center. I had my great…read morenieces and also my uncle memorial there for a small repast and it was perfect. NOW THIS IS WHEN I WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS !!!!! Not to the park but to the Sherriff, Lawndale PD, and the local neighbors. They were very rude and racist. They sent police TO THE PUBLIC park (In which we paid to rent out the center), and they first made up a story that someone reported street racing *we were all parked and had been parked for hours* and then he came right back around trying to be apologetic about the reason we were there, he still said now that neighbors were reporting noise and DANCING. I didn't know dancing was a crime!!!!! Now just the week prior we were there for my Uncle who is of another race and there were no problems and the same things were occurring in the center and parking lot but now this time around it's African Americans and now it's an issue. They had a police car sitting adjacent to the park for the remainder of the event which made us feel harrassed and we ended up leaving our paid event due to being uncomfortable and afraid of what other lies an issues they were going to create. I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN AND ONLYYYYYY BECAUSE OF THIS!!! If you need somewhere to book an event I would suggest them. Just make sure you guys are not dancing, it might be mistaken for a crime smh

There are new picnic tables, both uncovered and under a few gazebos (large and small). May be a good place for birthday parties. Kids can play in a sand-less playground (hallelujah!) and in the grassy areas. You can also check out balls to play with from staff members on-site. A workout area is available for adults. Restrooms are nice and clean... so far!

My kids love coming to this park to play. They've made friends almost every time we come. I like…read morethat it's small and gated, restrooms are right next to the playground, and there's usually shade when we've been there. I also like bringing my kids here because it doesn't get crowded; sometimes it's just us. Parking isn't too bad, a few spots designated for the park or park in the residential area.

There's a skate park, an open grassy area, a full basketball court, a trail around the perimeter of the park for walking/running, a play ground for smaller children, and I believe I saw an area for BBQ. Sounds good doesn't it. Well what brought the quality of this park down was the bad kids that occupied nearly all the spaces I mentioned above. The high use of profanity, marijuana, and just some reckless behaviors changed everything for me about this park. A group of kids actually had a pistol out in the open, I don't know if it was real or not, but at this point it wasn't about to the activities one can enjoy but more like a safety concern now. Had it not been for the people, this park would of received at least 4 stars from me. I'm not into playing with the safety of my son, or my loved ones life. You won't find me here again.

Needs a little clean up but does it overall for a quick trip.

It's very clean (and probably because it's locked up during off / closed hours). They have ample swings, one of the only parks with four (4) separate baby swings. The area in Lawndale is nice enough too, and it's tucked away in a somewhat secluded residential area. The playground equipment is nice and some are very new, modern and unique looking too. This sports a double wide slide too.

I've seen lots of folks play soccer here and have seen a few family gatherings (parties?) This park isn't packed with picnic tables of facilities, bbq's, bathrooms or drinking fountains, but it does have parking, it's clean and open. Only a few spots of shade and the whole thing is surrounded by a chain link fence. Could be because the park is in fact attached to William Green Elementary school. Not exactly a well rounded facility full park, but it's in a good location for a short walk or burning some calories.
