    Big kid play structure
    Dave T.

    A very nice city park with basketball court, twniss courts, triangular soccer field and playground. Playground has big kids and small kids areas. Big kids area has a longish bridge entry, a working (!!) periscope, planets game, car driving station, two infant swings , two regular swings, three small slides, monkey bars, and three distinct areas for imagination play. They also have two spring rocking horses. There are also ten clean concrete picnic tables, four of them covered under an awning.

    Came here to walk my dog on the way home. It's a smaller park with no walking trail. It does have 2 tennis courts, one basketball court, and a big children's playground. This park also has restrooms and two water fountains. There is also a nice size field back to the left of the playground. When I got there I saw two adult soccer teams practicing (with masks) and some little kids practicing. Was able to walk along the perimeter o the park with my dog. Cute little park. Don't come here to walk if you are looking for a flat even surface.

    I recently discovered this park through a tennis lesson. There are 2 tennis courts and a basketball court. They are lit at night when I've played at 9pm (not sure until what time). There is a small parking lot as well as plenty of street parking. There are a lot of homeless people that hang out and live in the park by the tennis courts. I came to play tennis on a Thursday afternoon and there was a guy walking around aimlessly on the tennis court with a leaf blower strapped to his back. The courts are usually empty.

    The first thing I noticed about this park is how clean and empty it was. The bathrooms are spotless and even have soap! All the playground equipment was in great condition and the basketball court was so clean I let my baby crawl around it. Both playgrounds are great for all ages and they have baby swings which is a must for me. Not a huge fan of wood chips over the rubber ground but overall great park. I went to this park as a back up because Lacy Park wasn't opened yet and I was not disappointed.

    This park is so amazing the only problem is there are sometimes HUGE parties there where grownups blast music and drink all day and when there done they leave piles of trash all over the park and streets. It's super annoying plus we live down the street from the park and it keeps us up all night. Apart from that this park is great!

It looks small from the street but it has tennis courts http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Cg6yjiTiNLeNvoYcFduu-A?select=2T9Fitaobz0k38HIjtREVA , a full basketball court http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Cg6yjiTiNLeNvoYcFduu-A?select=h6Fs_iQfT3hiNI5CKOvDhQ , two playgrounds one for bigger kidshttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Cg6yjiTiNLeNvoYcFduu-A?select=7Kn6ZHifg3JLLsHH55lzKg and one for the smaller kids http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Cg6yjiTiNLeNvoYcFduu-A?select=JG01p7Rt6KioMeBgOSjN5g and a large lawn with picnic tables http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Cg6yjiTiNLeNvoYcFduu-A?select=7S7lwW2qZaS_sYAKFKfj7Q .

    It is always a struggle to write beyond a cliche. Case in point, I want to express that the…read moreArlington Garden in Pasadena is a green oasis amidst urban noise and pace but that would say little since people consider their backyard and their local parks to be a green space of peace. And they would be right- who am I to judge the green that someone holds precious whether it be jade from feudal China or a patch of blades that are bed for the soul to rest. So I am left with one task: to express the serene beauty of this place that is also engaging in a quiet way, with almost ethereal words to truly defend and display that this, in all its glory, is a green oasis that wins by a short shot. The grounds are not huge, it is small but comes close to being medium. But what I loved is that its green branches and brown barks and twigs were immersive. I had entered a green swirl that moved all around me in stillness of movement but blurs of garden spirits. The place was like an outside museum that honors mother earth and her mantra of tender care that explains how flowers grow best. One of the most engaging experiences was their wishing tree. It was about two to four big trees with hanging wishes written by everyday folk. As I walked the steps to the trees, as I passed between them my skin could feel the words of hope hanging from branches. It was like the cards spoke in lovely whispers that reminded me that days of beauty are created when people do not forget to see that joyous petals that are in the wind and all around in the everyday. And as one note reminded us, joy is not ready made, to find it takes action. Reading the notes was a way in which I elected joy, as an act of resistance toward anger and disapointment. There was also this gazebo with a statue of a greek goddess. These are guesses of mine, I did not find some type of placards to confirm my notions. She was framed in the gazebo by a quasi-window. I entered the small gazebo and sat in the only green bench maybe big enough for two.I did not understand why she was giving me her back, I wanted to face her. But then I realized that Demeter or Gaia (maybe?) was not facing me because she was looking at her creation, like any person would when they have a garden to admire. From that seat I saw a man doing Tai-Chi and being filmed by his partner in all red. I sat and viewed him quietly and ask that whatever he was calling forth with his movements also entered my own person. From this seat, I also saw a pregnant woman taking pictures. She was wearing a white dress with a tasteful floral pops around. At times, she laughed with a wide smile, at times she held the bundle with her hands. It was seeing a place of growth, welcome a being with life about to begin. Her partner joined and they were directed into stances that made sense--- like the one where they look longingly at each other while he held her, and she held the coming boy. I could see their happiness, I could see their true connection, and I knew that the baby was being born into comfort and love. It was great reminder that sometimes life blooms with ease into joy. I also saw a lizard run and move its neck, both in a funny way. I saw a sole butterfly flutter. I saw folks sitting, relaxing, eating, all in with a calm demeanor. So I would like to think that this place is a green oasis or at least a place where rest is each to come by.

    Nobody told us they could rent out a entire section of a public botanical garden…read more 1 star.

It's clean and family-friendly, with plenty of room for kids to run around and for dogs to stretch their legs (on leash). The walking loops are great for a casual stroll or a longer walk, and there's a nice mix of open lawn and shaded areas to relax. Be aware that it can get packed on weekends--especially midday--so if you're looking for a quieter visit, heading over earlier or on a weekday helps. Overall, it's exactly what you want from a neighborhood park: pleasant, clean, and easy to spend a couple of hours in.

They also have open fields where you can play catch or have a picnic. They have some pave roads where kids can bike, scooter or rollerskate. They also have tennis courts on the side of the park and they also have lessons for those who were interested. Unfortunately, they recently implemented charging non residents during the weekends. I don't support this charge since public parks should be for everyone. Whether or not you are living in the city. Other than that come to visit during the weekdays when it's free!

This park was actively used by families, kids, people walking their dogs, and even a personal trainer.

It is a great spot to people watch, do some dog training and even some ball time with my dog on a long line.

We go for great walks in the neighborhood, usually with a set destination or a touch of Pokemon Go adventuring. Loads of shade, benches, sidewalk pathways and places to picnic. It's very local as well as family friendly, pet friendly and jungle gym kid oriented. They have some great courts for a few sports - basketball, handball, volleyball, pickleball, and a small softball area. With nearly 5 acres of greenery in four directions you'll enjoy this hidden gem park (typically clean all over including restrooms - where you'll find drinking fountains closeby). Parking is easy in a mostly super mellow residential area, however there isn't a physical lot like you'd see at large parks. Take your pick of Mountain Street, Mar Vista Avenue, Wilson Avenue or Bell Street (the four that encompass it). One of the parks in the city of Pasadena, Los Angeles you'll see with Community Composting (Hubs), tons of trash cans and continuous beautification.

    Updated review: I've been to Inspiration Point twice now, most recently after the great Los Angeles…read more"blizzard" of early 2023. And how super intense and cool (figuratively and literally) it was! Total about 10mi from the top of Lake - Echo Mountain - Castle Canyon trail - Inspiration Point - Sam Merrill trail - Echo Mountain and back down to Lake. DEFINITELY a strenuous hike and would highly recommend hiking poles, sunscreen, water, and snacks! The view is incredible, especially with tons of fresh snow everywhere. Hiked this early March 2023 and the Castle Canyon trail leading off from Echo Mountain (a decent hike in its own right) is pretty challenging, if not a bit brutal in some areas: slippery snow, downed trees and bushes blocking the path, and a heavy incline. Again, highly recommend poles. Once at Inspiration Point the view is phenomenal. The Pacific Ocean, Palos Verdes, Catalina Island, and even Anaheim and Irvine are all visible from the top, and downtown LA too of course. Lots of picnic benches and photo-op-worthy view finders for major Southern California sites. Gorgeous San Gabriel mountains in the background. The Sam Merrill trail leading down the backside of the mountain (and then curving back around to the south/west) is much more tame (but still a bit precarious with 2+ feet of snow) and very sun-exposed all the way back to Echo Mountain. All in all probably one of the more butt-kicking Los Angeles hike. Takes about 4-5hrs round trip depending on your pace.

    Long and difficult hike but worth the view! About 10 miles…read moreround trip from Cobb Estate. Bring a hat, lots of water, snacks, sunscreen, and BUG SPRAY. Me and my husband started around 7:30am and finished the whole hike around 1pm at a steady pace with about an hour break when we got to Inspiration Point. The hike from Cobb Estate to Echo Mountain was a breeze for us, but the hike from there to Inspiration was a whole other story. I recommend wearing long pants as the second half of the hiking path isn't as clear and pretty narrow on some parts. We took our time and treaded lightly but still got some minor scratches on our legs from all of the branches and leaves. My husband started getting irritated from walking into all of the spider webs lol. Not sure if the actual hike was 2 miles from Echo Mountain because it felt so much longer than that. We started getting really tired near the end from all the incline. We almost gave up until my husband saw the view of Inspiration Point. Once we got there, the views made it all worth it! Would we do it again? Maaaaaybe lol.
