I came to this park usually when I can't find an open court at Grant Park. The tennis courts here…read moreare tucked away below street level, so they tend to be much less busy. Because of that, I can almost always find a court. Parking is generally not an issue either, which is a big plus. The street-level area has a playground, but to be honest, it feels a bit shady. The restroom is also on this level, and from the tennis courts below, you can clearly hear toilets flushing, which is... not ideal. Downstairs, there are two tennis courts and a practice wall where you can hit against the wall or even play handball. Functionally, it serves its purpose well if you're just here to play. This is a park I would only visit during the day. While it's convenient and usually quiet, I wouldn't feel comfortable coming here at night.

Back then in the early 80s, the whole area was very different: "The Park" was the only designation Jefferson Park had, and there was a 24/7 basketball game happening on the court. It wasn't the only action happening in the park, however. An older kid tried to sell me pills in that park when I was 6.... I ran all the way home down the alley cause I was scared! There also used to be one of those huge metal rocket ships in the park and I got held hostage there once by some punk who wouldn't let me down. Had my first kiss in that park in kindergarten (Heather)... Had my first fight in that park (Vincent). Another time we were there, two guys ran across the park shooting at each other. We sort of stood there like idiots, thinking it was like watching a bad episode of the A-Team. Times have changed in east Pasadena. The whole neighborhood is significantly better, housing prices are stupid-high, and the park is now more likely to host an evening softball game or a pair of stroller hottie mamas than a gang fight. There is play equipment and picnic facilities. A smallish softball field is usually in use by some softball league. Watch your kids and dogs, here. People speed on Villa.

There is a large grass area perfect for a picnic date. I've seen teen couples doing picnics and it's the cutest thing. Parking isn't so easy. The residents use street parking. And I know some patients from the hospital/ medical facilities are parking near the park because it's free.

This park is so darling and was so perfect for a last minute change of venue bday party for my lil…read moreone. Initially we were to hold her bday party at a different park in Pasadena but we found out last minute that the parking lot would not be accessible to the general public due to a huge event. First of all, let me tell you a lil trick to finding this spot. You need to turn onto Wilson from California to find this spot at all. There are a pair of black gates to drive through to get to the park portion of the area. I love how enclosed this park is and how secluded it is. It feels like such a darling little secret garden. The play structure is especially for the smaller kiddos but even the 6-7 year olds that I was entertaining had a fun time on the structure. The bathrooms are open and they are clean considering this is a very public park. But, let me tell you this . . . this isn't a city owned park. This is one that is owned by the school and is more private. Therefore, I think the conditions of the park are that much better. I wish I had taken more photos of the park itself but I was just so busy organizing the party materials that I didn't have the chance to do so. I love the amount of space that there is for the kiddos to run around. There is more than enough space to throw frisbees and to play catch. Some friends of ours, their sons were playing soccer and practicing tee-ball. There are more than enough space for all of us. There was another family here preparing to host a birthday party. Luckily there were no park reservations between us and there was more than enough space here for both parties to go on simultaneously. There are tons of trees and lots of shady areas as well as others that are so flooded with natural sunlight that it gives such nice "filters" for photos. I know I was able to get lots of photos taken and they were so w. onderful because of what the natural light lends to them. I am so glad that we'd found this spot. I'd love to come here and picnic but spend the afternoon playing. We brought out one bubbles, balls of different kinds as well as side walk chalk. We had a blast. There are BBQ pits and sinks here, as well as 2 restrooms. I love that the restrooms were so clean and well kept. There was no urine stink or any of that. I still brought my own roll of paper towels, small bottle of soap and some sanitizer but I'm even more happy that I didn't really NEED those things. So if I hadn't thought to bring 'em on my own, at least the park had what would have been necessary. Parking is a tad tight but there is plenty of it. If you drive allllll the way down the parkway there are some spaces right in front of the park as well. Honestly I have nothing negative to say about this park. There are ants but let's keep in mind, this is a park. It is outdoors. LOL. I was shocked people wanted to complain about their being ants out there. Haha. I felt completely safe at this park and I was so glad that I wasn't the only one who felt that way. We invited several other little families who were at the park to join us in eating pizza and to celebrate our lil one's bday with us. Everyone was so friendly and so social. It was a lot of fun and this was the perf venue for her bday. A reminder, use your internet browser to search tournament park.

The park was once the large lot home of the Eddie family, donated years ago and converted into a public park. I worked a few blocks away at East West Bank Corporate Offices for over three years, and never knew this was here. The expansive lawn with mature trees now features a small play structure, an outdoor brick patio/barbecue area with ample shade, a walking path, swing sets, and the original house-- effectively converted into a rentable space for birthday parties, Girl Scout activities, and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. While not elegant, it has a certain historical charm... If you're into old local architecture, you can relish the old leaded glass, brick fireplace, and original concrete driveway. Neighbors seem to have gotten used to the kids and out-of-towers, but there is a palpable annoyance felt from a few, regarding us visiting Arcadians and Pasadena-folk from over the steering wheels of their respective Range Rovers. No matter... We had a good time, and besides, this public park is so off the beaten path, I can't imagine anyone knows about it. ...Well, except my 2700+ Yelp friends, now. Lemme know if you need directions.
