I walk to Costeau Park on most days and spend a few minutes sitting there. Over the years, this…read morepark has been fairly well maintained, but the traffic noise from Alicia Parkway and the 405 freeway is very loud. The sod "baseball diamond" has had the grass removed and has been surfaced with red clay soil. There are no bases and I have never seen anyone playing real baseball or softball there. I think it is a waste of space and should have been left grassy. Dog owners are generally responsible and dog waste bags are provided. Many parents come with small children who use the playground area. As well, the basketball court gets frequent use. Overall, it is a decently maintained area for a short visit.

This park is deteriorating. Nobody cleans it, the trees are over grown and uneven surface.read more

Through the park is a dirt trail that leads to the other end of the park. The park has a soccer/football field, softball field, grassy area in the middle, kids playground, and walking/running trail around the exterior. It's a peaceful park but is also next to a big street so lots of cars drive through during rush hour.

No restrooms !! That's crazy a park , especially a park this size doesn't have restrooms for kids …read more The play ground is pretty decent size with baby swings and 3 different areas . It feels like a dog park with the amount of dogs here walking around the trail . Alot of owners let their dogs off the leashes, so that's an issue . I'm thinking this park was mainly made for the neighborhoods nearby , idk why else it wouldn't have a restrooms. It defiantly has the space. I wouldn't recommend this place for parties or pool driving to take their kids to the park . I would definitely go elsewhere. I come here for my son's soccer training and a few times my children have had to use the restroom and we have to drive to fast food nearby which is not convenient.

Found this playground and park today and so happy we did!…read more It is small and perfect for my three year old. The playground says it's 5-12 years old but actually was really good for my three year old. The playground does have bathroom, (key access), tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court, huge grass area, bbq , gazebo , and close to the walking trail! Parking is limited as it's street parking, but on a weekday we found parking easily. Will be coming back here soon!

(The latter is what I do!) There is a little trail that runs right behind it, which is nice for enjoying the outdoors. I often see folks walking their pups.

Baker Ranch Community Park is nestled within the Baker Ranch community. Parking is very limited…read morehere so we try to time it when it's not too busy. The restrooms are clean which is always a plus for a park. BRCP, has many benches/tables for gatherings close enough to where your kids can play. The playground is pretty large for the older kids. There is a little one for the much smaller children off to the side. What I like about this playground though is the flooring. They have this very cushioned floor instead of wood chips. When our kids trip or fall, they don't get badly hurt and they for sure don't get splinters or wood chips stuck in their shoes. Behind the tables is a basketball court that you can easily see from the tables if in case you're worried about your kids running off to play. It's easy to keep an eye on them from there. Beyond what I've already mentioned, I don't know what else this park has to offer because it's as far as we have gone for play dates or birthdays parties at the park. It's a nice place for kids to play. I only wish parking wasn't so limited.

This is a really nice park and is relatively close to my home. You can catch Chief down here at…read moreleast a couple of times a week. He likes walking around the park and taking in the scents. There are 4 softball fields, 2 volleyball courts, covered area with picnic tables, small grills, a small playground for kids, a concession area open for softball tournaments and bathrooms. The fields are well maintained and are host to dozen of tournaments a year. Unfortunately, the bathrooms are not well maintained and I wouldn't recommend using them unless it is an emergency. The other detractor is the size of the parking lot. Under normal conditions, it can support the park guests. But if there is a tournament, the parking quickly overflows into the street and can be a hazard for those trying to drive on Via Linda and Los Viveros. Turning onto Via Linda from Los Viveros can become a blind turn with all the parked cars and Via Linda becomes very narrow with cars parked on both sides of the street. I have also seen people getting ticketed for parking in areas which are clearing marked as "No Parking at Any Time". Overall, this is a really great park. Chief really loves coming down here and walking around and so does his owner.
