This is a very nice park except for the restrooms but okay. There are baseball fields, football fields, picnic tables and even a play area for the kids. What I did not appreciate was the music that was being played for the boys during half time and in between plays! I believe the music was very inappropriate and I was offended by the language in this music. I mean come on when the songs have the N....word in them that is offensive to some of us! I feel as a spectator the music should be toned down and the league should be informed of this inappropriate music!!!!!

WARNING: No one wears mask at this park. Plenty of parking and pathways to walk or run. Many hills and stairs to do your exercises. Big fields to do recreational activities. The park is a little dirty but that's not the park's fault but the dirty people in the community. Nice views

This park is great for playing and outdoor photography. They have two different parking lots on top and bottom. It's convenient to get to since it's off the freeway and it's a large park so tons of space. There's a few playgrounds, bathrooms and a fields the trees are large and offer a great amount of shade. There's also benches around to sit. I brought my daughter to photograph some pictures and the lighting here was great for midday. I suggest this park for photography and for relaxing or playing.

Using this photo to show that they keep some lights on after dark we stayed until 8:30pm and the lights were still on.

A great park for kids and they keep some lights on after dark we stayed until 8:15pm and the lights were still on. Always clean and they do have a bathroom. It is patrolled by cops, and security and always janitorial staff on site. I love how clean and safe it is.

Cool park for a quick hike or frisbee, etc. they have several fields for different activities and some nice views. Trail was only about 10-15 mins not too big of a park. Plenty of parking in the lot.

Every experience at this park has been good. Had my daughter's 1st birthday party here a few years back and come here every so often to ruin around and let her run wild. They have a few "shelters" for rent through the city and the park is on two levels. Top level is by the senor citizens center so parking can get a bit packed on the weekend if mutiple events are going on. Playground and sports fields are on the bottom level along with the restrooms and another parking lot. I believe they even have a Horseshoe pit by the lower shelter too. We recently stayed coming here to utilize the hills that they have for working out. Every time I've been here the park is pretty well kept. They also changed the play area from sand to mulch which I prefer done you don't end up with sand all over the place when you leave. Los of families and seems pretty dog friendly.

We arrived early to reserve the picnic area (first come, first serve) and there is no charge. This park is well maintained, offers so much to all park guests, is safe, and offers so much shade on account of do many large trees. Park visitors always seem to be relaxed and super friendly when spending time here. Be it while playing basketball, softball, soccer, playing tennis, pickleball, walking, jogging or simply relaxing under a tree or out in the sun etc.. being outdoors puts people in a good mood and this is one of the reasons I visit this park 5-6 times per week. This is by far, my favorite park of them all

Covina Park contains six basketball hoops, public exercise equipment, two tennis courts (w/ pickle-ball lines), public ping pong table (without paddles or ball), horseshoe gaming area (without horseshoes), play obstacle course, shiny playground, swimming pools, baseball diamond, and much more. Truly, Covina Park has blossomed into a popular local destination. When having a "rest day" from the gym, I select Covina Park for my daily cardio/walking. Recently, Covina Park feels very safe and welcoming. Commonly, there are only local residents or health-nuts getting their daily health fresh air. Speaking of "health-nut" I observed groups of squirrels happily munching by their homes. Covina Park not only has the luxury of having a soft trail, it's also accompanied by many tall trees for shade. Covina Park is very clean, well-maintained, and contains plentiful parking. I am very appreciative of the time and money invested in developing such a lovely, public recreational space. I happily recommend. 5 out of 5

There is a cafe/ convenience store across from the campground where you can also purchase your day use park pass for $5. I experienced a foggy day, which gave a cooling effect to my hiking. Restrooms are vault toilets, so unpleasant smells and a mess are a given. The lake has lots of swampy algae, therefore not appropriate for swimming or water sports. However, they do allow fishing with permit. I am a nature enthusiast and it was saddening to see the lack of humans respect for nature, with graffiti and trash in some areas of the park. Crystal lake definitely could use more funding to preserve its natural beauty. The loveliest part is listening to woodpeckers as they work, watching an eagle fly above with a fish in its talons, and treading quietly not to startle the squirrel who is crossing my path. I suggest picking up a map with hiking trails from the rangers post or convenience store, before planning your day!

What nice and fun little park to take the kiddos to. It's located in diamond bar not too far from…read moretarget and the freeway. There is a round about parking near the entrance with a moderate amount of parking spaces but if you go past that further in there are more parking available. The play ground is quite large compared to other smaller park playgrounds. The cool think i like was that stairs from the first parking lot with the restrooms connect to the playground. So kids can jump right into the fun. Next to the playground its surrounded with plenty of picnic tables (concrete) and lets parents sit and relax while the kids play. The playground has multiple entries with two slides? Two monkey bars, stepping stone style elevated steps, a fireman pole, etc... definitely a fun park to come to. There is a little creek adjacent to the playground where you get a nice tranquil stream of flowing water drowned by the screams and laughter of children in the background, lol.. its nice really and something that sets it apart. We did not go further past the stream but there appears to be additional tables and a trail. Had a great time meeting our friends there and enjoying some fun times with the kids in the process. My kids loved it.

Also there is a hiking trail that I now frequently go to now. Especially the last few weeks (despite it being late January/early February) its been very warm in SoCal. This trail is relatively easy as it only takes about 30 minutes to complete the trail. I also love how most of this trail has plenty of shade. One of my favorite parks and hiking trails to go to around the Diamond Bar area.

We've signed up our son for parent and kid soccer classes and they were always very patient with the kids. 5/5 Pickleball courts have been added recently and it's increased the foot traffic to the park. So glad they made a walking path in the park! We walk down to Covina park a lot since the playground and walking path were added. It's nice to have it in your backyard. 1/5 Restrooms could use an update. Not sure why there is never a changing table in the men's restroom. They are usable but my wife told me the women's door doesn't work. Men's door doesn't work for sure. 5/5 Playground had sand and wood chips along with some worn out rubber area. The new playground has something for kids of different ages. There is a toddler swing for your little ones if they want to swing away. Little kids coffee shop with seating for your Little's. We've enjoyed every time we've had the chance to go. The kids love to go on the slides or the double swing. 5/5 Walking path. It has lights and is spongy. It's great to see our neighbors out walking, kids riding their bikes or scooters. They also have exercise equipment to get your swell on. 5/5 new basketball court for you to yell "Kobe" as you drain the bucket. Neighbors please take care of our parks. Great to have the park updated. Now just the restroom needs a bit of TLC. God bless

The only reason for the 4 stars is the lack of shade. I swear all parks are designed by people…read morewithout kids. There's a shaded area for eating with 2 picnic tables under it, but that's it. The entire play structure and swings are in the beating sun 100% of the time. Today was a very mild 75 degree early summer day and we went early around 10:45. Within 30 minutes of arrival, the slides were so hot our almost 2 y/o son physically reacted every time he touched them. The park is in a very nice and quiet residential area. There's nothing but street parking, but the streets are wide and not busy. The grounds were very clean and well kept. The bathrooms even had soap AND paper towels - yay! Like others said, this structure is mostly appropriate for a toddler as young as ours. He even did ok on the winding slide. Some slides are so steep that he falls forward even though they're supposed to be geared at toddlers, but all 3 slides here were fine for him. However, the only way to get up are monkey bar-like stairs (skinny metal bars) that no toddler can safely use, then the other side has stairs. The stairs are way too far apart for a young one to do alone. He either had to crawl or we held his hands while he took giant steps lol. If you get bored at this park, there are 2 more within ~5 blocks or less heading west! They're off the same street, too. Just go to the north of the block north of the park and take a left and you'll see 2 others fairly quickly. We'll definitely be back because of how clean and safe it felt.

Nice, safe and clean park for toddlers. My son loves to play here. The neighborhood is very quietread more
