    A locals favorite! It's been a while since I've taken a walk here and I can see that they are…read morebuilding more spaces for folks to play and get active. They currently have a wide walkway to get your steps in, multiple baseball fields, batting cages, tennis and pickleball courts, a street hockey field, outdoor equipment, and plenty of tables next to an outdoor cooking area. Of course, a fun playground for the kiddos. Right next to it was a pleasant surprise- a free little library! It was a little empty but I'm sure folks will add to it soon. Highly recommend you checking this park out this summer.

This park is spacious. Has picnic tables, aquatic facilities, basketball court, pickel ball and a good outdoor stage presentation facility for events. Place fits over a 1000 people at this outdoor event venue. Bring your pop up tent and your fold up chairs to feel comfortable. With that said, my #1 gripe about this park, only two unisex toilets available! Who would put a 2 person bathroom with a cipher code that can accidentally lock. These two bathrooms is stationed like a miniature hut stationed by the entertainment area. Who ever engineered these bathrooms should be reprimanded. It was a dumb idea for cipher codes to be implemented. One bathroom was accidently locked with no one in there! Terrible idea. Over a 1000 people and only as two restrooms nearby! If you had to use the use restrooms.. you have to walk in the other side of the park where the picnic area is located. It is quite a walk! Walked or wait 30 minutes. Overall, its comfortable park minus the restroom situation.

    If you're planning on coming here make sure you have a reservation. I didn't but luckily it was…read moreempty and they accommodated us. I paid around $25 for 3hrs of play ( We only stayed one hour). My nephew wasn't wearing grip socks so I had to purchase some. It's a no shoe policy so you must leave your shoes upon entering. Super fun kid play area and since my nephew is 3, he still made the cut. There is also a coffee shop and sitting areas where you can order food and drinks. The wooden slide was a little concerning. I would like to see more padding at the end of the slide. The padding that is there doesn't seem to absorb the shock as much as I'd hope for especially for a 3yr old whose legs are landing fast into it. Other than that I highly enjoyed the experience.

    I've been coming to Looma for years and perhaps that's the problem. I remember what this place felt…read morelike when I first discovered it. It was genuinely impressive. Someone had clearly thought about the experience. A beautiful indoor space, imaginative little environments, places for parents to sit, decent coffee and food and enough visual restraint that you didn't feel like you'd voluntarily locked yourself inside a plastic primary colored migraine for two hours. With small children, this is no minor achievement. There still aren't many places like it in the South Bay. Which is probably why we keep coming back. Unfortunately, Looma today feels less like a premium children's space and more like the aging remains of one. You begin noticing the little things because there are so many of them. The projector by the ball pit stopped working ages ago. Other play features are broken or simply gone. Toys and foam blocks migrate around the building and apparently establish permanent residency wherever they land. Some surfaces are sticky. Vents and edges look like they haven't met a cleaning cloth in quite some time. Rooms sit unused and closed off. On our latest visit, even the bathroom was rough. None of these things individually ruins a children's playground. Kids are extraordinarily talented at destroying civilization. I have two. I understand. But maintenance is the business. If you sell a premium environment for children, the product isn't the slide you installed three years ago. The product is the slide today. The clean bathroom today. The working toy today. The stocked refrigerator today. The employee who appears mildly pleased that you've entered the building today. That last part has always been Looma's strangest weakness. Service ranges from indifferent to occasionally miserable. There have been exceptions the woman I've repeatedly encountered handling the cafe has always been genuinely sweet and helpful. But overall there's very little hospitality in a business ostensibly built around families spending time there. And when the place is crowded, all of these little failures compound. Our latest visit felt badly oversold. Not enough seating, exhausted parents orbiting tables waiting for somewhere to land, children everywhere, broken or neglected equipment and a staff seemingly resigned to surviving the shift. Then you remember what you're paying. Once admission for two children, food and drinks enter the equation, this stops being some scrappy neighborhood playroom where you forgive the duct tape and missing Lego pieces. Looma calls itself an upscale indoor playground. Fair enough. But "upscale" creates an obligation. It means someone has to care obsessively about the boring things after the beautiful launch photos have been taken. That's what frustrates me most. The bones are still good. The original idea was good. Even the food is surprisingly decent for an indoor playground, with some Korean options mixed into the usual kid fare. My children can still have a great time here. But children having fun is an extraordinarily forgiving metric. Give them a cardboard box and seventeen minutes and they'll establish a functioning municipality. Adults notice the rest. Looma doesn't need another attraction or themed event. It needs somebody to walk through the building slowly, look at every surface, every broken feature, every empty refrigerator shelf, every neglected corner and start caring about the details again

Before coming, I called the day before to ask about the timing and any restrictions. At no point was I told that my 6 year old daughter would not be allowed to enter during Toddler Hour. Had I been informed, I would have planned differently. When we arrived, my daughter was told she could not participate because she was too old. She was understandably disappointed and confused about why she was being excluded. We accepted the rule and decided we would sit together and do crafts while the younger children played. Surprisingly, we were then told she could not even enter the space with us. What I find most frustrating is the lack of practical consideration. The younger children were sold tickets and are not allowed to be left unattended, yet my older child was not permitted to remain with us. The policies seemed to contradict one another and left us in an impossible situation. I completely understand having age based rules and designated toddler play times. My issue is not the policy itself. My issue is that it was never communicated when I specifically called ahead to ask, and there was no effort made to find a reasonable solution once we arrived. The result was a very disappointed child and a family celebration that quickly turned stressful. On principle, I found the experience unsupportive and unnecessarily rigid. I left feeling disappointed by the customer service and the lack of empathy shown in handling what could have been a simple situation.

    Imagine rummaging through a treasure chest, looking for the bobble that is worth the most. Your…read morehands touch different forms of riches like bricks and Spanish Pirate coins of gold, and also strands of pearls, mounds of rubies and sapphires. You stop searching when both your hands cradle a diamond so large it could not fit into a happy meal box. Thinking you hold the key to your future, personal island, you ignore the green jewel slightly visible amongst doubloons, all the while not knowing that the green jewel was an emerald that dated back to one of the first QI dynasty's and thus worth 100 times more than the diamond you bolted with. That is basically what Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park is, a sprawling, green oasis that only shows its green edges just a bit so it kind remains a dormant emerald of lush price. I have been to this park many times, and thus I know that if one walks a bit into the park innards, one will cross a big lake. Not great lake big, not Chicago river big, but it is for sure not the type of lake that can be described as small, or medium, or dirty with trash. It is a clear blue lake that can be witnessed while sitting down to call calm from the ripples unto you, or you can fish there, if that is your pleasure, or you can just walk past it and admire the blue beauty. When you are walking make sure to keep your eyes on the ground on occasion, because bird remains can be squished. The remains on the ground are logs. I know this might sound elementary but on this day I connected that bird remains dropped from above go splat. I always assumed that bird remains were a splat from inception. But after this visit I realized that bird remains that are delivered close to the ground remain logs but delivered far from above are splats. If you are into ducks and geese, you will see these walking about, not frolicking, there was none of that just peaceful strolls. I clipped a video of a single goose or duck taking a waddle, and eating grass while its neck was crooked. Of particular wonder, was the bird chirps and tweets, audible- somewhat- in the video. These bird sounds were more present when I was there, of course, so they should be appreciated, not by listening to a video, but by listening to them while you take your own video of them. I think the greatest asset of this park is how big it is iin the inside- not Grand central park big, not football field big- but big enough for it to have different trails that lead to different areas of the park. Like this one time, I went to the park and I found an area that had like broken ground and in the center there was a tire. I felt like that was a perfect place to sit and meditate. In the center of cracked ground, atop a tire. But here is the thing, I have tried to find it, and have failed. I have found it other times, it is not like a shifting dimensional place, it is just not easily found cause of the size of the park and its different forks. As I walked the park, I thought of forks in the road and how they might impact the life trajectory of a human being. I pondered on how sometimes we take the left instead of the right path and how this means our life changed completely because of that decision. Taking a path and not the other is for sure a huge decision, not like leaving lettuce out of your subway turkey, but more like not getting lettuce on your Turkey Cobb. After a decision is made, after a fork path is chosen, and the other fork path is left behind, how can a person continue in peace with the choice they made and not really wonder what life would be if the other path was chosen? I do not know the answer to this big question but I guess it comes from fully understanding what will both paths demand of us as we walk through them, and what they will offer once we complete them not only in tangible and concrete ways but also in how they will help us fulfill our heart and hope's purpose. Like, after a path is crossed can we ever really know that where we arrived was always meant to be? I guess not. But I do not want to settle and just say that this is the reason why the journey is more important than the destination because the destination is never the afterthought. Thus in some cases the path belongs to the destination and the choice of which path to take belongs to the person. So before starting a path a person should, when ever possible, think, not only about the journey, not only about the destination, but also about how the path will make them feel from start, to middle and finish, and let those thoughts also define the choice of which path to take when we humans face a fork in the road. Yeah, this park will also have you collecting your thoughts, and I wonder what you will do with them. If reflection by a pond, is not your thing this park also much more. It offers the opportunity for steps that can be completed while walking or running. If you have kids and are looking for a free way to entertain them they also have a play area and grass.
