People don't do much reviews on parks. Why? I don't know. I have been to this park 4 times in the…read morepast. I truly like this park very much. It's close to home and offers a lot of activities to do. It has children's playground equipment, 2 basketball courts, 4 BIG, tennis courts, a dirt track, clean bathrooms, picnic area, nice spacious landscape and the most important, it's kept nice and clean. This park is one of my favorite parks in Studio City. They have recreation areas and can let you sign up for sports/classes that interests you. Recently, I had taken few classes with couple of their teachers/coaches and they are WONDERFUL! Earlier this morning I went to play tennis with one of my friends. Tennis is one of my favorite sports to watch and to play. We don't keep score. We just like to play and have fun. You can walk, jug, people walk their dogs, kids, they have picnic areas and do a lot of kids birthday parties.. or you can just simply sit in silence and enjoy nature, the sunlight and have a good, peaceful time. Private lot parking, or street nearby parking. They are closed on Sundays. Kind of weird, but it's their rules, not mine. That's when people usually spend time with their families. I am not going to dock a star for that since it meets all the other amenities & requirements.

The space was spacious for the event and parking plentiful right there between the grass patches that we were using. People can also park along the street and I noticed there's allot of people coming and going so allot of opportunities for distraction to practice with your dog. The grass fields are very well maintained and mostly soft lush grass although there were a couple foxtails scattered on the ground.

Jesse Owens park is one of my favorite local neighborhood parks to take the kids!…read more One of the things I appreciate most about this park is that it is fully gated, which gives me a little extra peace of mind when the kids are playing. There's plenty for them to enjoy, including two swings, a slide, a climbing area, a mini rock-climbing wall, and, best of all, a mini racetrack where the kids can have fun and create their own races. It's such a fun little feature that keeps them entertained! There's also a large grassy area in the back, which is perfect for bringing your own soccer ball and letting the kids run around and enjoy the open space. Another big plus is that the park has its own bathrooms. I always appreciate this because not every neighborhood park has them, especially when you're spending a few hours there with little ones. The only thing I wish they had was a designated parking lot. There is free parking across White Oak, as well as street parking available in the back, so parking is still pretty convenient.

Date: February 1, 2025…read more I think this is my first review of 2025! Woowoo! That's what motherhood does to ya. I had this park bookmarked for a while now and decided to check it out today. We were actually around the area for lunch but didn't plan to go to a park and ended up driving back this way for it. Read the reviews and was excited to check it out and I'm so glad we did! As a recent mom of three, I felt so comfortable and safe solo watching my kids here. It's a nice playground in the middle of a fenced off grassy area with a restroom right by it. I loved that the restroom was right next to the playground to make a quick trip and not worry too much about my kiddos playing. They have a bunch of trees and also shaded top above so it was nice even though it was hitting 80F still! Surprisingly all the parents around were super attentive to their kids and made sure nobody was hurting another. I heard so many kids apologize for accidentally bumping into other kids and it just felt so nice to be in a kid area with kids who were well behaved, especially bc of my toddlers. Restrooms weren't too bad for a park. Not the cleanest but definitely not the worst I've been to. Overall I'm so happy we found this park and we will definitely be back more often!

The indoor playground is clean, fun, and a great place for kids to play and burn some energy.

Definitely one of our favorite local spots! We'll be coming back again and again!

Overall, it's a friendly and welcoming environment, and we would definitely come back again! Highly recommend checking it out.

Saw several families enjoying their afternoon with their kids. As nice as this park is, the location is horrible. Cars are constantly speeding and running red lights, which make it unsafe when walking with kids.

The fact that pedestrians have to wait an additional 10 seconds to make sure there isn't a maniac driver ready to run a red is insane.

My kids had so much fun and honestly, probably the most fun they have ever had at an indoor playground. Everything was very clean, which I really appreciated. I also love that they have coffee for the parents and other kid friendly drinks available for purchase. The little stickers they give the kids at the end were such a cute touch. Not to mention, their prices are amazing for an indoor playground. For once, I actually feel like I am not getting ripped off. I would definitely consider purchasing a membership the next time we go because it is truly worth every penny. I also love that it is much smaller than most indoor playgrounds. Personally, I actually prefer that because I can keep an eye on all of my kiddos without constantly running around trying to find them. Overall, we absolutely loved it and will definitely be back. Such a great place for the kids.

I wholeheartedly recommend this playhouse for a casual play night or a party!

We got easy parking right in front of the playground on a Sunday at noon. The park was large and the playground was nice, tons of space for kids to run around, and structures to climb when the mood struck. Toby's parents took over a sizable area with picnic tables, where they set up a buffet lunch and, later, cake. My three-year-old will remember this party for the orange soda ("Why are you letting me drink this?"), but I appreciated the ample, well maintained neighborhood park. I'd recommend Valley Village Park for your recreational needs in this part of town.

Updating my review as I did come back to this park with my dog to attend the Larpbo pack walk this…read moreevening. The park is very beautiful with soft grass that seems well maintained and cut and there are zero foxtails which is a big plus. I can tell everyone respects the park as there's zero trash on the ground and everyone is picking up after their dogs. We did some excersizes with our dogs in the park and then we walked around the neighborhood and then back through the park along the nice dirt trail to end. Similarly to last time, again I noted ALLOT of off leash dogs. They seem well behaved but one did decide to run away from its owner and did a full circle around our pack and the owner was chasing it. This caused several dogs to react and get riled up and it really could have been an issue if that off leash dog had decided to run at any of us, thankfully it didn't, it was just happy to run in circles until its owner caught it. Overall despite this, these distractions were actually really helpful for practicing training with my dog, and she did amazingly. There were so many other distractions too such as loud cars or motorcycles and kids and people running or biking. I guess maybe my dog leveled up because it was a very successful walk! I was very happy today with the experience. All the people who live in the neighborhood next to this park are so lucky to be so close to such a beautiful and well maintained space.

There are metered spots all around the perimeter, but they were all taken. I ended up driving a block away and parking in front of an elementary school at a curb that's for pick up and drop off only during the school week. The park is about medium size. There's a tennis court, basketball court, a playground, tables and benches, and open grassy areas scattered with trees for shade. For the festival there were a few food trucks on the street, but you really didn't need to buy anything as long as you were willing to wait in a long line for a free pretzel, ice cream, and bottle of water. Just make sure to check in at one of the tables first where they'll ask you for your name and email and then give you tickets for the pretzel and ice cream and then you can get in line. One person is allowed to ask for multiple tickets for their family. The festival is kid centric, like the entertainment on stage were kids dancing and the live music was also aimed at kids. One song had lyrics that sounded like "Simon Says". There were also several tents that had a bunch of freebies like stickers and potato bag clips and even a booklet of the U.S. Constitution, which makes sense since a lot of the booths were promoting various local politicians. There's an onsite bathroom by the basketball courts, but beware that it's not the cleanest, but it's a public bathroom, so of course it isn't. If you have kids, this festival was made for you. If you don't, you can still enjoy the freebies, but it's not really something you'd want to stay around long for.
