El Rancho Verde Park is a perfect little small park for a walk, to take the young'uns or pets or to simply get in some leisurely exercise. El Rancho Verde is connected to the La Palma Central Park via a signal and features a nice sidewalk walking path that branches off in several directions (ultimately leading back to one), a couple playgrounds for the kids, some benches, a full exercise area with multiple stations scattered throughout and plenty of photo op areas. I often come here simply to walk as when connected with the Central Park trail you can get in a couple of miles in overall length. I also love some of the small workout stations for sit ups, pull ups, ring work and much more. You will often see many other people with small children or pets walking throughout and everyone is very polite that we have run into with the exception of the preachy Christian lady who insists on trying to recruit people for her cause. Religion is a touchy subject for most and I do not disclose what my beliefs are and I suggest that others do the same as it only takes approaching the wrong person to turn a simple question into a situation you may not want. If you are looking for a place to get in a little bit of walking, exercise or just want some fresh air this is a decent place to come. For those who want more I suggest linking your running/walking with the connecting Central Park for a much more thorough experience as they feature athletic fields, BBQ areas and much more than can extend your stay. I will continue to come here to get in some exercise as we do not have many parks close to home that I feel comfortable frequenting.

Pretty Plant Decoration.

A great park to read a book or exercise as it is empty pretty much the whole day. Since it is a small park, it's clean and well maintained - not a lot of trash left from parties during the weekend. There are limited seating with few benches and a small play area for the kids. I would not advice visiting at night or jogging by yourself it is empty compared to other parks with little lighting. Parking is small as well - parking is located in the neighborhoods on the street and not on an actual parking lot.

Nice little gardens.

Don Knabe Community Regional Park - Rainbow trout

Don Knabe Community Regional Park

Long known as Cerritos Regional Park, the park was renamed Don Knabe Community Regional Park…read moreNovember 30, 2016, in honor of former Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe. The 84-acre park has been serving the community for almost 50 years, providing tennis courts, a skatepark, playgrounds, exercise equipment, public pool, indoor courts, 2 fishing lakes, basketball courts, BBQ/picnic areas & the Cerritos Sports Complex. For my recollection, my first acquaintance with Don Knabe Park came by way of participating in the Annual Youth Fishing Derby. Kids are given the opportunity to compete with other registrants to catch the largest catfish. Bait is provided, and fishing tackle is first come, first served basis. As a teenager, I became more interested in fishing, and tried my hand at largemouth bass fishing w/ lures. On my first outing, a caught a decent-sized bass. I've seen much larger sized bass caught, too. The CA Dept. of Fish & Game stocks the lakes with rainbow trout (colder months) & channel catfish (warmer months). For trout, I've been lucky using small spoons, while catfish is simply bait & wait with smelly bait of choice. For such a large park, the parking is absolutely free! Which, along with proximity, is why I frequent Don Knabe Park over others. One complaint I have, is there can be duck & other waterfowl landmines (aka poop) all over the concrete walkways next to the lakes, if the groundskeepers aren't timely at keeping up with the power washing to clear the walkways out. Cerritos' own Central Park, Don Knabe Community Regional Park is an out of doors haven, for those looking to increase their daily steps, play their sport of choice, or wet a line and see if the fish are biting. It's a great resource which I take full advantage of, and hope to continue visiting for many more years to come. Highly recommend!

A large park with all of the standard amenities plus a lot more. I saw folk fishing, there's a…read morelarge sports complex area, and so much open area for whatever event you're looking to hold. We did our Cub Scout bridging here and it worked out perfectly! A playground, sitting area, water, and bathroom near by, along with enough room to have all of our events spread out without impeding any else's experience. In all this is a really nice park, and I'm certain we'll be back in the future. :)

I went to Liberty Park for my cousin's son's first birthday party, a big event with catering and…read moredecorations and about a hundred Koreans. They took over a giant covered outdoor area with a ton of picnic tables, clean and open and perfect for a large party (I assume they had to rent this). I've been to a lot of parks over the years, and most of them don't have comparable event spaces. The one disadvantage was that we were far away from the playground, much to the chagrin of my three-year-old, who kept demanding to leave the party in favor of the play structure he saw in the distance. Liberty Park is just a huge place with several different zones. We even switched parking lots once we got there and figured out where the actual party was, on the Camp Liberty side of the park. The party was really nice, pleasant and relaxing. We had lunch, watched the dohl ceremonies (he grabbed the stethoscope, securing his future as a doctor), took pictures, and hung out with family. Then, because I'm not a monster, I took my boy to the playground. It was a great playground, well maintained and pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Fewer kids, in fact, than teenagers working out and playing loud music nearby. I'm not complaining. In fact, my child was fascinated by their music and got as much entertainment from their speakers as he did from the play structure. I don't live anywhere near Cerritos, but if I did, I'd make good use of Liberty Park. What a lovely neighborhood resource, for both special events and everyday recreation.

This is such a well rounded park with a community center, walking track, pickleball, tennis courts,…read moreplayground and more! Highly recommend these courts for pickleball too because there are a lot of courts, friendly players and it's not too advanced of play. Been coming for the last three months and I see the same players all the time. Only downside of playing pickleball here is that the courts close at like 8pm-8:30pm which is actually atrocious. I forget exactly. When I run to the restroom from the tennis/pickleball area, which looks exactly like your average park restroom. I see people on the playground and other pickleball courts (3 in the middle) (2 on side). The track is crowded too! The parking does get full in the evening so you may need to park on the street.
