This park is located on the corner of Marina and 1st Street. It houses an indoor area, children's…read moreplay area, outdoor courts and parking. This is a great place for children to play and it's not far to the beach. The children's park is behind the Marina Center. I think this is used to keep children from wandering around or away as the only way to go is to street parking or towards the outdoor courts (that have gated doors). It's a small city park, don't expect it to be immaculate and have all the things a large park would. Again, I like it for it's quaint and quiet atmosphere (yes, even with children). Happy Naturing In The Park and Fight On!

However the ground has a bunch of holes that need to be fixed. Other than that, this park is very fun and I would recommend coming. Parking isn't bad.

How have I not given our local park the Yelp treatment yet??!?…read more Lexington was the answer to Oak Knoll being outgrown, we are a city of recreation and competitive sports, and if you build it, we will use it to its fullest potential. Lexington is proof! This park, at its core, is two large sized football/soccer fields that can be divided up for smaller league kid games. One field is natural grass, the other a composite. The entire park is well lit because of the night games that are played there, which makes for an overall inviting and safe experience - and I never see the park empty, it's always in use. Surrounding the fields are a running track that circles the distance of the park, a large playground area, seating for the parents, oh, a large set of bleachers for the FNL and soccer games. A workout area in the back with a circuit style set of arm/leg machines. Pickleball and basketball courts, a general area with covered seating for picnics and gatherings, and a large parking lot area that, although large, can be found filled on busy days. Overall this is a good park and a great addition to our cities lineup. We come here often to do sports or use their other various facilities. :)

5 stars for a nice rubber track!…read more As an active walker/ runner, I am regularly seeking parks with a track. This was a serendipitous find on the way home from work. Features - The park has ample parking, 1 basketball court (which is also used for pickleball), 2 fitness zones with 10+ different workout equipment , park benches, coal pits, soccer field, padded track, and children's play area. It is very well maintained / clean and the biggest bonus is the rubberized track for me. There's also doggy poop bags too, in case you're walking your dog and forget! You can easily find walkers at 7am here which provides a relatively safe exercise environment. The only possible drawbacks I see is - 1) there is minimal shade, and 2) it is right by horse sables (it is next to the horse race track) 3) the track is relatively small (less than 0.5 miles a lap).

Whaley Park is a busy, lively park across from Cal State Long Beach. If you're looking for a place…read morewhere kids can burn off approximately a million calories, this is it. The playground is modern and well equipped, but the real standout is just how much there is to do. Baseball and softball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball courts, a soccer area, and even a roller hockey practice court? This place does not mess around when it comes to sports. With 13.5 acres to explore, there's plenty of room for families, athletes, and anyone who just wants to get outside. The downside is that weekends can get pretty hectic, with youth sports leagues and birthday parties competing for space. Parking is free, but the lot entrance is surprisingly easy to miss, tucked at a traffic light between Bellflower and Palo Verde. Street parking is another option. Whaley Park has a lot going for it, especially if you have active kids or enjoy a good game of pickup basketball. Just don't expect a quiet, empty park on a Saturday afternoon!

This park was pretty quiet and would only see less than a handful people around. This is a great place to teach your dogs tricks or let him go unleash and run around and play catch or something. You can park in the residential area, which is always plentiful. There are some shady trees and the grass is nicely maintained. Some people may complain and say this park is too small and dinky, but I guess it just depends what you want to do here. For us, walking our dog and having a different change of scenery is just perfect us 3. There really isn't much here, just a few benches and a cement road for people to ride their bikes or roller blade right on through, but that's probably why it's so deserted.

The only thing (danger) you need to look out for is overhead and side aggressive rod n' reel "casters" and those who use multiple hooks where it feels like potential hazard and an accident waiting to happen. We use squid as bait and it's resilient to the water and waves. It's good for families and kids, but come early to get a spot and avoid the sun. It's good for maybe 1 hr for kids to inevitably get bored or frustrated, but for adults chillin' almost like playing a round of golf where conversation and relaxing is a big part of a social activity, you can stay for hours, just bring a chair. Also, bring a hat, sunscreen, cold water and snacks. Parking (for free) could be easy if you know where to look, read the signs and are willing to walk. The people there are generally friendly 'tho we did encounter a few territorial grumpy older men, par for the course and not spoilers of a good time for us.
