There is so much to do in this 10-acre park. The park is well maintained with neatly trimmed grass, plenty of trees for much-welcomed shade, clean bathrooms, and plenty of free street parking around the entire perimeter of the park.

Prior to Hollenbeck Park getting renovated we would come to Covina Park. 4/5 Family Events The park does offer family events in the summer (movies, concerts, etc). We've taken the kids to a few movies. 4/5 Recreation Renovated playground gives the kids much needed play. There is a padded walking path near Badillo Ave. Always a lot of people playing fútbol or catch in the open areas. 2/5 Bathrooms Well you do have to worry about this thing Outdated and always smells like urine. A good powerwash could help. 4/5 Parking Street parking available all around. This park doesn't have a designated parking lot. 3.75/5 Likelihood to Return While it's no longer our go to park it's still nice to be able to walk on a spongy trail. Hope they fix the bathrooms sometime in the future. Psalm 147:12, God bless and Stay Prayed Up

Visited this hiking trail in San Dimas with my wife, daughter, and some friends. It turned out to…read morebe a nice little spot for a hike. There was plenty of shaded parking, which was a plus, and everyone we met along the way was super friendly. Some hikers even gave us a heads-up about the possibility of mountain lions in the area. If you plan on hiking solo or with a toddler, be sure to have something to protect yourself, just in case, since mountain lions are known to stalk people. That said, hiking in a big group is generally safer, but it's still important to keep toddlers and young kids close.

I had a good experience at Cortez Park. I visited on a Saturday (around 1:35PM). It's a beautiful…read morepark with rolling hillsides & lush trees. It lacks certain utilities, but it has that rare public football field. I felt comfortable here. Did I feel safe? Yes. This felt very clean, welcoming, and family oriented. I noticed Little League Baseball and their family; I saw teenagers praying since their church is nearby; and I saw families just resting. What utilities? This location has two baseball fields, one football field, one concrete walking path, a refurbished playground that's firetruck themed, many tables (some with a gazebo roof), a restroom, water fountains, and a pet plastic bag waste dispenser. What are the negatives? There are no basketball courts, tennis courts, and other typical, extra utilities. The walking path is very distinct, but the path is concrete and shade can sometimes be sparse depending on the day. Overall, Cortez Park squeaks into the 5 Star Rating Spot because it felt very scenic. Out of the many parks that I've seen today, I found a scampering squirrel happily eating in her tree. This rolling hillsides and small statues make this park a bit more memorable. This park is a nice, lovely spot to wander under a cloudy, new day. 4.5 out of 5

They were sitting at one on the tables, with many bags and drinks and food. They were also playing explicit music very loudly. I was trying to ignore it, however I couldn't take it anymore once they started yelling. After a while, they started going on the play equipment. They Would crowd the big slide and stay at the bottom, which was TERRIBLE since my girls were trying to have a good time. Great park after all, but I would advise you to not come here if you want to have a good time with your family.

It's a park alright. It has trees and grass and swing set. Small and local if you're in the area.read more

There's a pretend airplane for kids; there's a small tropical playground where toddlers can run into a cat's mouth; and there's a lot of nets for climbing. This location is open from 5AM to 10PM. Did I feel safe? Yes. This park only had families with children. It's also one of the West Covina Parks that confidently post their rules. There's many signs labeled "Park Watch" to keep residents safe. What utilities? There's two main playgrounds. One play ground has an airplane that kids can climb into. That same playground has nets where they can freely climb; the floor is spongey foam, so they have a soft landing. The other playground is tropical and fenced. Toddlers can run near plastic trees, and there's a plastic cat with an open mouth where they can sprint through. The location also has a fenced baseball field; there's a public shaded patio with tables; and there's public park gym equipment equipped with umbrellas for shade. There's also a restroom and water fountains. What are the negatives? This location doesn't feel very pet friendly. I didn't see any pet waste bags, and there's not really a walking area. There's a possible concrete walking loop, but visitors will be walking on the sidewalk. Also, it lacks many common utilities (example: no basketball courts, no tennis courts, etc). Overall, Palm View Park squeaks into a 5 Star because it feels memorable for families. The playgrounds are very adorable, and I like how there's beautiful, big trees near the seating area. If searching for some interesting playgrounds, this is a good choice if already nearby. 4.5 out of 5

After the wettest winter in LA county in my life, South Hills Park is now (3/20/2017) tremendously…read moregreen! It went from looking like the Sahara to looking like Scotland. There are lots of deviating paths, but you don't get lost here as most side paths are just viewpoints that end rather quickly. I went here with my mountain bike starting from the eastern side of High Country Drive entrance (taking Hunters Trail road). I recommend entering this side as it's easier to go uphill on cement and do most downhill towards the exit of Bonnie Cove Drive. Amazing views at many points of the trail. Some parts, you'll hear the deafening 210 freeway and electric clicks of the overhanging ropes from electric towers. Other areas, you'll be shielded and it'll seem like you're no longer in a city. NOTE: the trail of Bonnie Cove is a little overgrown from the rain, so you'll smack into a lot of tall grasses and it's only like 1.5 ft wide now. Totally fun if you don't mind it. Lots of others are also overthrown, but I don't remember if they had names.

It's pretty calm, quiet and serene due to the low traffic which is at end of a cul da sac. The park has a few hiking trails trail called the Dalton Wash Trail and the Toyon trail which are simple, but at the same time fun. The playground looks pretty new and in good condition. I love how it's covered with rubber materials as cushion as opposed to sand and wood chips. It's cleaner on the kids and safer if they fall. The dog park is also in good condition with shading, seating and a small obstacle course it (sections separated for small and large dogs).There is also lots of natural shading due to the large trees with picnic benches. Additionally, there are also a restrooms on site with a water fountain. Everything about the park is great because it has everything you need within a small space.

There is also an area with free doggy bags incase they use the bathroom! It's fun to walk my dogs through or even just myself for a nice stroll. I also think this park is unique because it has outdoor gym equipment which is a bit random, but also pretty neat to try out. There's a lot of grass area for a nice picnic so even though it's one of your smaller parks, it definitely has its own uniqueness!

Did I feel safe? Yes. I felt very safe. The "park" is located in a well-maintained neighborhood. It's located across the street from a school. The location felt well-maintained. What utilities? There's a charming, small playground that resembles an obstacle course; there's tables with chess boards installed; and there's a fenced dog park. It includes a dog water fountain, plastic pet waste bag station, and a dog playground. There's also tall lights that keep the place lit up. There's also some public park exercising equipment. What are the negatives? There is no restroom. There's also very limited grass areas; it's small. The walking path is colored concrete with little shade. There's only two picnic tables; there's very little eating spots. And there's no courts. It has a unique playground and dog park, but it lacks everything else. Overall, Banna Park is charming and quaint. I especially love how the table's tops are chess boards. Unfortunately, it lacks too many features when compared with other parks. There's genuine potential here. 4.4 out of 5

Families played soccer on the wide grassy fields or just enjoyed the playgrounds. What utilities? There's two playgrounds, volleyball area, one basketball court, grassy baseball area, painted handball wall, restroom, and plenty of tables. There's also a clear, dirt walking path with plenty of tall trees. And there's a pet waste plastic bag area. I also LOVE how there's a lion water fountain. What are the negatives? Gladstone Park's age felt a little noticeable. The worn down colors of certain areas look unattractive, and I dislike how the pathway is simply dirt. Overall, Gladstone Park is a great option for locals. It's spacious. The playground area is also fun enough for the younger ones. 4.6 out of 5
