I love that this park is suited for the younger kids, 2-5 I believe is the age. The play structures are really great and developmentally appropriate for the little ones. Plenty of parking onsite and on the street. The only thing that bothered me were older kids driving their E-bikes really fast around the play structures. Could easily strike a toddler or even caregiver. Everyone at the park was friendly and it's good place to take the little ones. read more

It was a crowded park which I thought was just okay and basic. Diverse crowd and cool castle theme!

This park offers plenty to families, with a newly remodeled playground and a recreation center that has compiters for learning and a 2nd floor for basketball... They have lots picnic areas that allow you to BBQ for free and tables to eat at. You will notice tons of older gentlemen playing backgammon and chess, young adults working out and kids all over the place enjbeing kids. Only tough part is the parking because it's nestled in the center of a residential area where most of the spots are used by those living around there... So if you're looking for a quiet and safe neighborhood style park come on over and check it out. read more

Parking, there's a parking lot with limited parking and in a section of the parking there's about 4/10 stalls where you can park but when pulling in to a stall there's another parking where a car can latterly block you in, just like when you park you car in a valet parking you park behind a parked car but the parking attendant holds the keys of the person blocking you, but this is the issue no parking attendant so visitors park on the putter stall leaving that parking unoccupied read more

This park is so great, my little guys had so much fun! I really appreciate the ground being baby friendly for my little guy to crawl around to be able to play and explore the park along with his big brother. It's clean, there were hardly any people there so we had the park to ourselves, great hidden gem in the area. read more

Hosted a baby shower in the community center. The actual room was very spacious and located on the second floor. We were able to host for about 100 people and still had tons of room for a buffet table, dessert table and room for the kiddos to run around. There's even restrooms adjacent to the entrance on the same floor and the room had elevator access. The only downside is parking. The park is located in a neighborhood so kinda hidden but that means street parking is hard to come by. There's a very small parking lot with no loading/unloading area and some tandem spaces which remained empty and blocked off so basically useless. Maybe some signage would help for the tandem parking. The playground area was large and great for the kids with lots of options for different ages. read more

First time coming here with my 2 year old today and I LOVED what they did to the park. I'm not sure when they remodeled it, it must have been pre-covid because some of the photos I see on this page are still the old photos before they brought in a new playground set. If you are familiar with the playground set at Shane's inspiration in Griffith Park, you will notice that they have the same play sets here! They have a small parking lot but I noticed there were a lot of street parking spots as well. We came to the park around 8:30-9 am and there were a lot of spots opened. My son loved playing with everything at the park, it kept him so busy and active for a whole hour! The musical instrument section was his favorite, he loves banging on the drums and playing with the xylophone. The entire playground is castle and dragon themed and it was so cute walking around and seeing the different pictures and cartoons they had on the wall. At one point my son got a little tired from the playground so we decided to walk around the park, there is a short walking trail, tennis court, and workout machines throughout this small park. This park and Palmer Park are definitely our favorite playground parks in the neighborhood! read more

What a cute little park with an awesome playground for the little ones and friendly elder men hanging around playing cards or dominoes. The playground is very clean and ample. It is castle-themed which makes it so unique. There are different types of swings for different ages, multiple slides, ladders and climbing areas, music instruments like a xylophone, and other interactive areas for kids. There is plenty of shady sitting area and water fountains. Also, there is an area to get your work out done with different exercise equipment. The restrooms are located inside the office building and they are very clean! Nowadays, clean restrooms at a park are rare to find but that's not the case at Maple Park. The parking lot is tiny but there is street parking available all around. I will bring my little one again when I am in the Glendale area. I definitely recommend this little gem! read more

One of my favorite places to walk to in the neighborhood. It has a real sense of community....old men playing nostalgic board games, kids and families running around the playground, dog walkers galore, soccer and tennis practices.....the park just continuously buzzes with life. And i get a free workout out of it...can't beat that! read more

I never been to this park until I had to attend a party. It's pretty nice. The fact that's it's kind of secluded means this park is surely a hidden gem. The park itself is pretty small, but there are quite a few facilities that make up for it. They have a public tennis court, play place, and they seem to have plans for renovating for more! This park has great potential to be better, and it already is a nice park by itself. The recreational center inside has a computer room, activity room (doesn't have too much though), and some empty rooms for rental. The best thing here is the basketball court inside. To use the recreation room facilities you need a card and register to pay. It's around $20 I believe, but it's worth it if you come here. I think there's fee if you just drop-in, too. Parking isn't that bad here, it's pretty small since the park itself is small, too. So if you plan to rent out the rooms at the recreational center for parties, be prepared for a slightly difficult parking situation, otherwise you might as well park around the neighborhood/community. read more

This was a really great park. The playground Waac huge and had lots of equipment and instruments and educational toys. It's all pretty enclosed in a quiet neighborhood so it was great for letting my 15 month old run around. It was very clean and fairly empty. Lots of room to picnic or bring a dog too. Def will come again. Also the clock is very cool! read more

I'd passed by this park so many times over the past 30 or so years that I've lived in a near by area. I didn't stop and bring my lil one here until real recently. The reason we decided to stop was because the park had been redone. It is so wonderful that the park equipment has been updated and in ways that make it all inclusive for all the kiddos who will play here. The equipment is new and clean. The surface under all the equipment is that spongey, bouncy foamy type rubber. There are several slides, ramps, bridges, ladders and other types of climbing areas. There are ramps, several swings for kids with varying abilities and I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful it is. My lil one was able to do so many more things at this park than we imagined. I love the sitting area. It's perfect for parents to sit and share a snack with their kiddos and then to sit there and watch them while they play. As far as things for the adults to do, there are some simple exercise equipment that a lot of elderly folks we're using. There is a tennis court here but I'm not sure if you need a reservation to get in there or what. I love that the restrooms are so clean now and that they are a tad hidden and so there aren't bunches of homeless folks in there bathing from the sinks and what not. Now, this park is a nicely renewed lil gem of a park. I wish there were a way to enforce the no smoking policies, esp because I'd been told several times that the entire city of Glendale is supposed to be smoke free but I feel like most of the time, folks who are smoking try and be mindful of the kids where they are playing. Maple Park has a tiny parking lot but earlier in the day, there is more than enough space to park. I cannot even tell you how excited I am that there are so many pieces of equipment for my lil one to play on now. We were told that the park is going to have a sort of re-grand opening next weekend, on the 17th of August. I'm so so so happy that this park is so much cleaner now and that it is a lot more welcoming. It is so much safer now and I really appreciate that the sitting areas are clean and that they are facing the play areas. It gives a place for everyone to sit, share a snack, actively watch their kiddos play at the park, etc. I love the castle theme with the faux draw bridge, towers, and even knight cut outs. Super cool! read more

Very cool playground and structures. However, most adults don't wear masks. For this reason, I would avoid. What a shame.

Small park but lots of grassy areas for hanging out and picnicking. Great for kids/babies. Downside: Every time I visit there are no free tables because every old dude in the neighborhood is there playing chess or something. It's got its own unique vibe though and is in a quiet neighborhood. Update: they are renovating the park so it's kind of a mess right now but looks like there will be plenty of picnic tables etc when the work is complete. read more

Nice and artsy. I have been coming to this park since I was a teen (20 years) they have made nice improvements to the play areas and the rec center. They have tennis courts too. Parking is kinda tough it's streets parking. read more

I really hate this park. There are never any tables available. I don't feel safe here alone with my son so I will only go to this park if my husband is with me. The grass is long and covered with garbage. I have been here a few times and I am always disappointed. Last time I was here there was so much plastic all over the grass that I couldn't even let my son play. Don't waste your time coming here. The playground is ok, but there is only one so big kids are running around with little toddlers...not a great idea. read more

How can I get a hold of the people in charge of the gym? Does anyone have a number? Thanks

Very enviornmental friendly & nice park, been going there all my life. Same old geandpas playin chess with different ties, grandmas still talking crap about the daily pickup at the grocery store, and the kids are alll just chillen. If youre bot apart of the neighborhood then i doubt youll like the park. But i for one do appreciate it. read more

Fun little park, lots of grass and tables. Not sure what the chick was talking about the park being not safe or clean. I guess maybe years ago it was worse. Went with my two toddler sons and it was just fine. Lots of other kids playing, old men playing checkers and some others playing tennis. The ground in the play structure area was covered with wood chips, so don't wear sandals. read more

Maple Park was a great park because it has a little bit of everything. I would go there more often if the cigarette smoking policy was in force. There are cigarette butts all around the picnic area . Otherwise a nice park ! read more
