Haiku: Larwin Park Shaded all around A park for all kids to play Safe, clean neighborhood. --- I have three requirements for kid parks and Larwin Park meets all three. 1. Shade: My inner vampire rejoices. This park is magnificently shaded well throughout most of the day. There are large, canopy fabrics stretched well above the playground equipment that provides the best shade. I don't have to bother with slathering on sunscreen or donning hats and long sleeves to hide from the sun. 2. Engaging playground equipment: The playground is basically separated into three sections--an older kids playground (ropes course, multi-person shell swings, tall slides); a giant sand pit (couple sand tables); and a younger kids playground (short monkey bars, small slides, climbing wall). 3. Safe neighborhood: Located in Buena Park, this gem of a park is a hot spot on the weekends for families. It seems like the sand pit is regularly cleaned and the playground is properly maintained. Bonus: 4. Clean bathrooms: If you have potty-trained little ones, you know this means the world. Four all-gender restrooms are cleaned regularly. 5. Other: There is a full basketball court, a reservable Picnic Shelter, a running/walking track that goes around the park, dog poop bags available, private parking lot.

Been going CRAZY at home. Decided to take down my bike and ride to this park. Located off Ball road between Knott and Valley View smack in the middle where Buena Park and Anaheim meet. This park us perfect to get away with your 4 legged pal, bike, running shoes or family. If offers immediate fun for all. Did you get that? Fun for all. Even as an adult I would Love to play on the equipment here. They have a running track here, huge grassy area, benches and doggy bags to clean up your pooches poop. They even have bathrooms. Although the COVID has this park closed the track part is open. Perfect to ride or run on. I'll probally walk my dov here next time. She would live this placement This park also has a few residential sleepers in the early morning so just be careful.

Shade! I love the new shade over the playground area. It's dog friendly, big grass areas to practice soccer or baseball, basketball court, and patio area with grill. Two areas for play, big and small kids. Nice bathrooms, but NO SOAP. Drinking fountains and sitting areas while kids play.

Visited today the new and improved Larwin Park. They kept the old basketball court and resurfaced it. They have a improved playground area for older and younger children. They also have swing-sets for different aged children. They "flattened" the park, prior to its change it had several hills. Now kids can run around the grass area better. However they removed all the mature trees and replanted with saplings. It will be awhile before you get any kind of shade from trees. They added a better picnic area and tables for families and the restrooms are sufficient. What I am glad to see is the new walking path they added. They also have lamppost for night time walking along the path. Overall it's a good park for our neighborhood, only time will tell how others thinks about this park.

Love this park so much! Dont know how it looked before but this is so clean and neat now. Shaded playgrounds for younger and older kids. Plenty of parking.

I don't know what this park looked like before but the renovations are wonderful. Lots of open space and play structures for toddlers on up.

I took my son to this park for the first time. He had a blast playing in the sand as well as the playground equipment. I will definitely be coming back.

2019 shade structure.

Five stars for a beautiful renovation overall, and especially so now with the added shade structures covering both playgrounds.

Great maintenance, Buena Park!

One of the reasons you have to get to Stanton DMV early is because of their crazy hours. They…read moreclose at noon after opening up at 7am, and than they sord of reopen back up at 1pm. Their DMV is so outdated tho. I do not like the service here. I am glad I no longer have to go to this location after moving to Fountain Valley now. I hope they can make some improvements with their DMV. Hire more people that want to be there.

Stanton. When I lived there it was known as "Crossroads to Entertainment" because it was a city…read moreyou drove through to get somewhere better, like the beach, Disneyland, or Knott's. I think now it's now famous as the home of Elizabeth Taylor's 7th and last husband. The "City of Stanton" in a governmental sense wasn't bad. They provided a great library and Boys & Girls Club. My first play "California Suite" was at the Stanton Community Center. All of our potholders had come in the mail with the names of Stanton's councilmen and representatives. Did that happen everywhere or just Stanton? As a city, it's okay. I lived in Stanton for almost all of my pre-adult life. It was a quick bus ride to Huntington Beach (sometimes we rode our bikes the 12 miles), and a straight line to Disneyland, just five miles away, close enough that we could see the nightly fireworks that served as an unofficial curfew to come home. I attended Savannah and Mary Perez (both gone). For fun, we had a Golfland, Stanton Village Edwards, annual St. Polycarp festivals, trampoline basketball courts, and the unique Hobby City (now Adventure Land). Though we were regulars at an independent Mario's, the best places to eat in the late 70s were Sundowners (cafeteria style), Me & Ed's (especially after a game), and Pinnacle Peak, where they'd cut off your necktie and hang it, if you were stupid or silly enough to wear one. Like many California cities, it had become populated due to a railway. The LA Interurban ran straight from Watts to Santa Ana in 1905. I, too, would run straight from Watts. Named for LA assemblyman Philip Stanton, the rural area grew and was incorporated in 1911, and although it was then the largest city in OC, Anaheim had planned to use it as their "sewage farm". I think some of the seeds are still there. They dis-incorporated in 1924 to avoid the cost of road building, and re-incorporated in 1950s with the post-war population explosion. Around that time the railway no longer carried passengers, but became my shortcut to junior high. As of 2010, the population was 50% Hispanic, 23% Asian, and 22% white, with a median household of nearly 4 and an income of $51K. Though Safewise included Stanton in their seventh annual "California's 50 Safest Cities" report in 2021, the only time I was "mugged" was two boys taking my newspaper money. It was a little shadier back then. I think the guy running the Olympic torch down Katella (which I witness in 1984) was running a little faster than normal.
