Thank you Coach Charles and thank you wrecking yard!

UPDATE 1: Review #10 2026-024…read more Since my decade old review, Charles H. Wilson Park is due for an update. Major Changes: 2005: Annenberg Tree House 2009: Fitness Zone 2012: Turf Training Facility 2018: Children's Playground & Splash Pad 2024: Community Sports Complex's Roller Rink 2025: Tennis Courts LED Lighting Current Project: It was announced in 01/2025 that 8 new dedicated, lighted, & ADA-accessible pickleball courts will be built near (north) the existing courts. Early 2026 completion expected. Amenities: * Amphitheater * Basketball Courts * Batting Cages * Electric Car Charging Stations (PlugShare) * Farmer's Market (Tuesdays & Saturdays) * Fitness Course 0.91-mi. * Fitness Zone * Futsal * Horseshoe Courts * Indoor Sports Center * Live Steamer Trains (1st Sunday, 3rd Saturday) * Paddle Tennis/Pickleball Courts * Picnic & BBQ Areas (bouncer accessible with permit) * Playground * Restrooms * Roller Hockey Rink * Sand Volleyball Court * Softball Diamonds * Splash Pad * Sports Center * Tennis Courts * Tree House Donated by The Annenberg Foundation, the 2.5K sq. ft. Tree House was designed by Treehouse Guys, LLC & is the 1st universally-accessible tree house in a CA public space. The "fresh air gym" includes kinetic exercise machines, intuitive adjustable resistance machines, & calisthenics station for body weight exercises. I love this outdoor gym but the OCD in me has issues with not spraying down (sanitizing) equipment after use which is common for indoor gyms & it gets really dusty/dirty particularly after raining. Batting cage operator Tyler Sports, Inc. helped turn the defunct skatepark into a 10K sq. ft. artificial training facility for futsal & baseball/softball fielding; there's 2 netted pitching tunnels & 2 turf sports fields. This helped minimize non-rule abiding soccer players from practicing on the tennis & pickleball courts, & damaging the nets. Futsal is a fast-paced, scaled down version of outdoor soccer. The children's playground was part of a citywide initiative to modernize aging play structures & swing to meet current safety standards. I love the intricate "Spherical Spider Web" rope-based climbing structure! There's a smaller rock climbing wall for the younger set or kids who prefer to be closer to the ground. The only iffy equipment is the Stand-Up Seesaw; I've seen some kids accidentally falling or intentionally crawling underneath the seesaw while in motion. Yikes! That same year a splash pad was added to replace the defunct pond (which I miss dearly... I loved our local ducks!), turning the community's eyesore into a spot to cool off during spring & summer, using recirculating water system to conserve water (yeah, that means don't drink the water!). L.A. Galaxy & TUDN partnered to refurbish the rink's floor surface with Sports Court Defense tiles that are designed to be a safer, shock-absorbing surface, & better support sports: roller hockey, roller derby, pickleball (6 courts), futsal (3 courts), etc. LED lighting was added to the tennis courts for reduced operating costs, improved visibility (that would be me for my old fart eyes), & energy efficiency. I officially tried pickleball for the 1st time this year at YEE Badge Day at PowerPlay Pickleball (refer to Review #953), & I'm hooked! So I am especially excited for these new lighted courts... woot, woot!! The farmer's market has grown so much that they expanded to the small lot west of the softball field nearest to Crenshaw Blvd.; most of the food vendors are located there in addition to the ones near Dee Hardison Sports Center. I met Mel while taking a pic of the horseshoe courts; he's registered with the City to maintain the courts & was doing some upkeep when he spotted me. Mel's so thoughtful & generous with his time... I learned Ted Allen horseshoes are the best (unique finger grips for consistent throws, expertly designed for balance), about the Flip or Turn style (he prefers turn) throws, differences between kid & adult horseshoes, court clay, etc. Ted broke many records to his 10 world championships as well as holding them, including 72 consecutive ringers -- wowza! He even demoed a couple of pitches for pics & hit 2 ringers... what a surprising moment for writing this update! Charles H. Wilson Park is a 44-acre family-friendly, recreational hub that truly has a l'il something for everyone!

Went here for a park show. Redondo Beach Ballet of performing arts. The art show was cute. Boys…read moreand girls of all ages performing. There is plenty of parking on the North West side. 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.

The good: There's a huge open grassy area at this park so…read moreit's good for picnics.. There are also some tree areas for shade. They have public restrooms. They have a basketball court. There's a sidewalk trail that good for kids' scooters or wagons. The area is slightly inclined in certain spots. The bad: My toddler loves playing in the sand here and it gets awfully messy. I don't know what the appropriate shoe wear is because she just gets tons of sand in her sneakers and then tries removing her shoes all the time. There are also fire ants. It's not the most well kept of playgrounds. There are spider webs and a lot of wear and tear and worn down playground materials. The interesting: When I came, there were 4 separate parties going on with tents or picnic blankets setup so this place was popping for families.

There's a community garden here with free mulch. There's a basketball court as well. I noticed lots of folks doing tai chi here. I also noticed groups of nannies meeting up here with their kids. There's no sand, dirt or wood chips at the playground area. The bad: One of the four swings could've used WD40. It was very squeaky. There was a man on the bench by the playground alone with a book who looked to be video recording the playground. I wasn't sure if it was innocent and he was potentially just video chatting with someone and showing them where he was but I was suspicious that a man would come alone and choose a bench by the loud children's play area to read rather than sit at one of the many other benches further away for a quiet space to read. The interesting: There's plenty of street parking. The playground is flat.

Came to this park on a weekday afternoon to let my son and nephew play. It's a large park with…read morevarious courts and lots of grass. There are also walking paths that are great for riding bikes and scooters. The play area is pretty small for such a large park but it has the basic essentials and the kids had fun. Probably wouldn't make it a point to try to go to this park, but a good choice if you're in the area. Hope you check it out and enjoy!

I wish more baseball organizations did the same. There are some unruly spectators that forget that these are just children playing and its not MLB but i guess you get that in any youth sport.

This league is AMAZING. My son has participated in little league at NTLL for four years, and it has…read morebeen a great experience. The uniqueness of this league has further been made clear for us as we travel to other local leagues for fall ball this year. No other league has fields and facilities like NTLL--better bathrooms, better snack bar, batting cages, lit fields, protection from the sun and foul balls. NTLL fields are better by far. The volunteers are amazing as well--they are the backbone of this league, and their hard work and dedication are to be commended. NTLL feels like family, and we are thankful to be a part of it.

Sur la Brea park is a pretty decent park! They have a little bit of everything and I often see…read morefamilies that come here or picnics/ birthday parties take place here. It has a restroom in the middle of the park - not the cleanest or most private but it's there for emergencies. There is also a reservable meeting room next to the bathroom. There is a single basketball court and people often play there after work hours. There are two tennis courts. One is usually converted into 4 pickleball courts and there is open play on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings. My wife and I like to walk around this area and it feels pretty safe, even at night. We don't run into any homeless people and there are a good number of people walking their dogs. The only thing is there an area where they do oil pumping/drilling and it can emit a not-so-great smell

This review is for the park and doesn't include the bathrooms! I understand that the ladies room…read moredoesn't have any doors! But I did hear that it is fairly clean... Anyways, this park is in a neighborhood, so there is plenty of parking around it. To my knowledge there is one gazebo (which we used, the one on Cabrillo), and several benches on the grass. Trees line the park making it a nice picnic spot for sunny days. The wind felt really good this past Sunday when I visited, but if it's cold, I could see it being a problem. There is plenty of space to run around on the grass, and I think there's a basketball court that's fenced off. I didn't venture too far from the gazebo so I don't know what the rest of the park looks like. While there I saw a lot of people walking their kids and their dogs. I'm not sure what it's like at night, but I generally stay away from parks after dark. COVID - I would say that most people who were sitting on the benches did not have masks on. This included the group I was with - not everyone was wearing a mask. So if you're worried about Covid, I would wipe down the benches before eating on them.

This is a great little family friendly park and my family and I will travel here (and also stop at…read morethe local coffee spot - Lavender & Honey https://www.yelp.com/biz/lavender-and-honey-redondo-redondo-beach). There is a "big" kid park, and also a fenced in toddler park. There are lots of shady trees, and some benches - however some of the benches are in the sun, I would highly recommend bringing a fold up chair. The park has a lot of green grassy fields and boasts the cleanest park/ "public" restrooms that I have ever seen. I love this park, and hope to spend many more sunny summer days there.

I had made my initial deposits and reserved the pictured canopy, tables, chairs and table linens. It accommodated quite a few people (50+ guests). The canopy was set up in our backyard. Initially, we had planned to have the tent grounded to the grass but with the rain, last minute pivoted to the side of the house. One star has been removed, mainly because the communication closer to event was a little unclear. Specifically, because the event took place on the 3rd (right after new years), it was unclear when the set-up would take place. I did end up texting and reaching out and the correspondence came later in the day by Jorge. In addition, the rain delayed the set-up time and we did have to make up the last minute pivot. I found out later that due to the rain, his co-worker left early sick and he came alone to set up the canopy the night before. He did a great job securing the canopy and appreciated his service. Like mentioned above, it all worked out at the end and would definitely use South Bay Party Rentals/ Jorge again for future events.
