There is a…read morenice astroturf soccer field, a small skate park, multiple basketball courts, and plenty of tables. Compared to MacArthur park there is not really a homeless issue. You won't see any tents or people defacating in front of you. One of the huge upsides is the gorgeous view of the old church right on the corner of the park. There is a youth center so there is always plenty of security around. The major downside is they only have a lot for handicap parking so expect to pay at the meters.

I…read morewas interested in renting one of their banquet rooms for my husband's birthday party the guy who handles the reservations name is Baran if I'm correct he is rarely in the office to take your calls and the other ladies Who work in the office are unable to answer any of your questions. Baron takes weeks and sometimes months to get back with you to let you know if the space is available for rent or if it is already taken. That can provide an income when trying to put on an event for a certain date often times most banquet facilities are booked up a year in advance so to wait weeks or even months for reply is truly unprofessional and provides a inconvenience to the customer. Baron needs to provide better customer service. They need to have someone assisting him so on days when he is unavailable are off business is still being handled and not placed on hold. Although this is a nice venue I would recommend you find another place. Somewhere where business is handled more professionally.
