Súper amplio y limpio, excelente para pasar el tiempo con amigos y jugar un rato. Es agradable ver a los niños y perros jugar. Aún así le hace falta limpieza a los baños, además que casi nunca están abiertos. read more

Dino skeleton and a dinosaur egg brought us to this neighborhood park in Whittier. It's in a small gated playground for little kids surrounded by a big green space and another playground for bigger kids. Easy parking makes this a great destination for a dino-enthusiast kiddo. Bathroom and picnic area, too! read more

Parking is easy & plenty of spots. As a toddler mom, I appreciate the fenced in playground. My kid loved the dinosaur fossil statue. The park also has a smaller toddler playground (not fenced in) walking distance from the dinosaur playground. There is also a small, old school splash pad that's open during the summer. read more

Dinosaurs in the park, and play area for small ones is fence/gated. Plenty of places to sit around the fenced area too.

Nice greenery! Perfect for a birthday party. It was very easy to reserve through the city in advance.

Beautiful park. Spacious! Tons of bench space plus acres of green grass to set up a nice area for a party! We enjoyed our time there and even had a taco man come to my nephews birthday party there at the park! read more

Had a birthday party for our granddaughter and everyone loved the park. Lots of parking, great picnic/party area and clean. The playground was a hit with all the little ones. read more

Love this park! Kids always ask to come here. Great play ground, clean, beautiful neighborhood and gated. We've played sports here as well. I just wish dog owners would put their dogs on a leash while in the play ground or around small kids. I understand the dog maybe we'll trained or you trust them, but other people don't know that nor do the kids. Always gives me anxiety when I see this. read more

I brought my daughter and her cousins to this park today for some fun in the sun. The parking is good, the park itself is clean and the playgrounds were good enough for the kids. They weren't complaining so that tells me there was enough to do to keep them happy. Nice area, clean park, and good playgrounds....we'll definitely be back here. Honorable Mention: They have a big kids playground and another one for the smaller kids. Good idea. read more

Michigan Park - Nice playground...we'll be back soon im sure. - Parks Near Me - Whittier, California

I spent dozens of hours as a child rolling down the small hill in the middle of Michigan Park. It's perfect for rolling down--steep enough to gather decent speed but not so steep that you get sick or injured doing it. There's plenty of space to run around, fly kites, organize an informal soccer or baseball game, throw frisbees, or play fetch with your dog. There's also a playground and a fountain for the summer, although it's pretty small. I don't know whether they're still here, but the park used to have those exercise stations at the corners--you know the ones? They were put into all the parks in the '70s. They give tips on exercises that seem really hard to do when you're a little kid. read more

It's a small park, but it's close to home, and sometimes when I get nostalgic for my preschool days (I went to Presbyterian, which uses the park sometimes, because it's right behind it) I visit to go on the swings. I wouldn't normally go at night to hang out; it's not very well-lit and not populated at that time. Which can be good for some nighttime trysts. But for my purposes (seriously, I just like the swing set), it works. I live between Michigan Park and Penn Park - Michigan has more space for soccer, baseball, sports that need a suitable area of flat land. Penn has more hills and a cool little waterfall and meandering path. Sometimes people jog around the perimeter; nobody really utilizes those old-school workout areas, that I've witnessed. All around a good place to bring the kids. Or the older kids who still like to pretend that they're little ones. read more

Such a fun park for everyone. There are 2 different play grounds that let all ages have fun and an open field. Looks like a perfect place to have a party if you want the outside feel. read more

Maybe 3 stars is a little harsh.. as long as you bring your own tp. Its a great park.

I really like this park. Its really great for a nice evening walk or jog. Great for a picnic too and weekends this park is always full for birthday parties. I think the only reason im giving it 4 out of 5 stars is cause it has a cell phone tower in it and I just dont think a park full of children is a great place to put something that causes cancer. read more

Beautiful hilly park with lots of green area, baseball field, adult exercise equipment, benches for parties with sink and bbq pits, and 2 playgrounds. The gated playground is dinosaur themed with dinosaur bones for the kiddos to crawl through and giant dino footprints on the floor. The gated playground seems newer and has older kids swings, slides, climbing wall, and a spinning, climbing thing (I obviously don't know the name of it lol). Not too far from the gated dino playground is another playground that is not gated, seems older and seems suited for toddler to preschool aged kids. The park is in a nice residential area, looks clean, and doesn't seem to get too packed. read more

Our oldest grandson had his 7th birthday there in August. The facilities are wonderful - plenty of grills and tables There were several other parties going on that day too and there was plenty of space for all the celebrations. I look forward to returning to this park and enjoying it some more. I will bring hornet spray when I do. read more

This park is really beautiful and well kept. There are two playgrounds to choose from which I find really nice. One has a gate all the way around it and is for the bigger kids. Has the swings for the bigger kids and also a bigger slide. The other playground is more for the smaller kids to play. It has the swing to put your little baby in and they stay secured to push. I personally think the smaller playground needs to be the one gated since smaller kids play on it and run around more freely. It's located on Michigan street down the way a little from Whittier Blvd. Hence the name Michigan Park. It's a pretty park to come have a picnic or take a walk. Every time I come it's never too crowded which is really nice. Has lots of tables and some bbq pits, so great place for a party. read more

I just have to say one thing about Michigan Park: it doesn't seem to close. There's nothing on the signs saying the park closes (or at least the signs I have tried to read say nothing) and you can easily hang out on the well-lit park bench/picnic area past 11 p.m. and not be hassled by anyone. Cops have driven by me with a good sized group of friends (10 or so people?) and have just kept going. Didn't stop, didn't ask us any questions. There was usually a woman with her dog running around without a leash at this time, too, and occasionally other people with their leash-less dogs as well. I'm assuming this is one of those "best kept secrets" and will come here late at night to practice unicycling in the future when summer rolls back around and it's not so cold. Update: The signs say this park officially closes at 10 P.M., which is still very late for a park to be open. I stand by my assertion that this closing time is not enforced, but don't tell everyone because I'll be mad at you when everyone knows and the city ruins all my fun. Also, I'm currently coming here on weeknights when it's not raining to practice unicycling, so there'll be a free show, too. read more

With a total of 81 tables(might need to recount) in rows of two or three all neatly arranged under a canopy of trees, this park is great for picnics with the family or larger celebrations needing to accommodate even a quite large crowd. What is lacking are BBQ's, there are only five built in pits and they are smaller than the average home version. There are however two islands with sinks and two islands with two gas burners each (though one is missing a burner). The restroom facilities are standard state issued enamel and porcelain wares issued in the 50's and 60's , when stocked, the toilet paper is single penitentiary issue sheets. Trashcans abound in the table area. There calisthenics work out areas in the corners of the park (except for by the back stop). Two modern sets of playground equipment and one in ground sprinkler fountain(but I'm not sure they even turn it on anymore). All in all a well rounded and wonderful park, I'd say ranks second in atmosphere only to Penn park. read more

Best park in whittier to get a good workout. The mornings are extremely quiet so thats when I like to go. Weekends can be a bit hectic with birthday parties celebrations. No recreational teams practice or play there so week days consist mainly of families and joggers. I wish they allowed dogs though. read more

A cool park with plenty of tables. It has a cool hill in the middle of it and yes I did roll down the hill haha.

Great park to take the family. They have a gated play area. Lots and lots of grass and hills that the kids can roll down. The park is beautiful and surrounded by homes. It's a great place to play baseball, bring a soccer ball and let the kids get all their energy out! read more

really nice park! has a lot of tables, small hills, playground, and baseball sections. its located right in a residential area so it is very quiet. It is very beautiful to come here with children, hang out with friends, exercise, or just relax. read more

this is a great park to go to at night, though you aren't actually supposed to go to it after sundown, it's not much more than a slap on the wrists if you get caught. during the day it is hard not to visit the park without some sort of birthday party being put on. though you can go far enough away iif that sort of thing bothers you. read more

Awesome place to take your kids everyone is always friendly, and it feels like safe enviroment.
