    This park is very well maintained and offers a nice open space with plenty of facilities. It's big enough to accommodate multiple areas, there's a beach volleyball court, basketball court, softball and baseball fields (the softball area appears to be under renovation),and kids' playground. There's also a wide paved path that loops around the park, great for walking, jogging, or strollers--especially if you prefer not to walk on the grass. Dogs are welcome as long as they're on a leash, which is always a plus. Restrooms are available and well maintained so are water fountains.

    Probably one of the best parks we have here in Santa Monica. I'm biased because it's in my 'hood! Clover Park is a huge park with lots of green space for the entire family, including fur babies. It's located off of Ocean Park near the Santa Monica airport. There's plenty of free parking and lots of pop up activities on weekends. Also the bathrooms are clean! That's a plus. I only gave 4 stars because I just wish there was a dog park included. A girl can wish, right?!

    Clover Park A nice and small community park around the corner. It is also next to the airport for private jets and a business park. Lively, clean, safe and friendly. Families walk the dogs, play soccer, baseball, jog and quick walk like me. There is a concrete path for people to walk. The total length is probably less than a mile. I walked 2-3 times until dark and still felt a bit too short. The restroom is clean unlike the ones in Santa Monica Pier area. Also no homeless around this area. If you are hungry, a few blocks around here, there are just many options. Sidewalk on Ocean Park Blvd is clean, nice, and well maintained. It is a pleasure to walk here to see kids and families play, exercise and be a part of this community. It is always good to visit part regardless big or small.

    Plenty of trees, shaded green lawn areas to relax, tennis courts, baseball field, playground for kids, beach volleyball sand courts, walking/running paths, bathrooms, water fountains, exercise stations, good car parking as well as bicycle locking stands, benches, barbecues. Probably the best and largest park in the city of Santa Monica. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance.

    Nice bathrooms!

    Great park, free parking, lots of good places to sit and enjoy in the shade. Plus free wifi! There are multiple playing areas as well and room for some recreational sports.

    Just a few short years back, Clover Park had no homeless people sleeping in the park at night. SMPD made sure of that. Now it is a regular nightly activity. One person even sets up a hammock to sleep in. Between the vehicles with people living in them on the street next to the park and the people sleeping in the park, the number of people is well into double digits. The City provides bathrooms and garbage cans but from the photos you can see they are not always used. Dogs off regularly happen daily. The City of Santa Monica does absolutely nothing to enforce this law. When I contacted Animal Control about this issue I was told if a dog fight occurs, I should have my cell phone in hand and film it, otherwise it will be a he said, she said situation as to if the other dog was actually on a leash. REALLY, I'm supposed to have a cell phone in hand to film another dog aggressing against my dog. How about the City does there job and enforces the leash law. Once again, another situation where the City of Santa Monica does not do their job. Just a few short years ago The City of Santa Monica spent a ridiculous amount of time and money replacing the old bathrooms in Clover Park. I got to know the contractor a bit during the construction due to the vast time frame it took. According to the contractor the project took so long because the City of Santa Monca kept changing the design. The contractor also told me these were the most expensive public bathrooms he had ever built. He was in the business of building public bathrooms. Now just a few short years later they are showing signs of rust in multiple locations. The old cinder block bathrooms lasted for decades. Instead of replacing the simple cinder block bathrooms once again, SM had decided to completely reinvent the wheel, I would be very surprised if these bathrooms do not need to be replaced within the decade. The City of Santa Monica is very competent in wasting money. Why not, it is not their money, it is the tax payers who pay far too much money in taxes for what we get in return. Come to Clover Park for the free WiFi and stay for the benefit that you know SMPD will not bother you even though you are breaking the law.

The park was fantastic, pristine and spacious with a top tier playground. Felix's parents claimed a prime seating area right outside the playground, where we could eat and socialize while keeping an eye on our various kids. The set-up felt very safe and easy. I admit to losing track of my five-year-old for long stretches at a time, and once finding him in a piece of playground equipment with a group of children he didn't know, giggling as two of their dads spun them around and around. My two-year-old spent a lot of time in the sand with several toddler friends, pouring sand into a play table and also all up in their clothes. We brought our elderly basset hound Duke in a mobility stroller, and he got lots of attention, too. It was a nice outing for our whole family. I also couldn't help but notice that the park was right next to the Santa Monica Airport and other airplane-themed entertainment. We live pretty far from Marine Park, but I have a feeling we'll be back.

Parking was a breeze. The park has an indoor room you can reserve if you plan far enough ahead, but the outdoor tables are first come first served. Felix's parents claimed a couple tables and brought two of their own, creating a sizable shady party space right next to the playground. I think the whole area was surrounded by a fence, so none of the pre-school age children could easily wander off. My boys had a blast playing in the sand and on the cute structure. There was also a little set-up for puppet shows, and all the kids kept going over there and pretending to buy and sell ice cream. I live too far from Santa Monica to make much use of Joslyn Park, but I know a good park when I see one. I'd recommend this place if you have young children, whether for party time or just a relaxing hour of play.
