Valley Glen Community Park is one of my favorite parks to bring my daughter. The play area is fully…read moreenclosed with a fence and gate, which makes a huge difference when you have little ones. It gives you peace of mind knowing they can run around and play without worrying about them wandering toward the street. The playground itself is great and well maintained, and the surrounding park has a really nice walking path that loops around the whole area. It's perfect if you want to take a relaxing walk while the kids play or just enjoy the space. There are also plenty of grassy areas and picnic tables throughout the park, which makes it a great place to bring snacks, sit down, or even have a small picnic. Overall it's a really family friendly park with a safe play area and lots of open space to enjoy.

There's a few picnic tables but keep in mind there's no restrooms. The grass is very well-kept and feels very nice having a third of the park fenced for some safety for children and dogs. Street parking is only available as there's no parking lot. No courts or anything here, mainly a free open grass space!! I never really saw any problematic individuals around the area, but as always, just be cautious of surroundings! A very decent and nice park in the middle of a neighborhood.

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.

Our little friend Toby C. turned four a couple weeks ago, and he had his birthday party at Valley…read moreVillage Park. We went with our two boys, and everyone had a grand superhero-themed time. 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.

I don't mind the raspado, elotero, and paletero because they are not next to the play ground. They usually stand by the baseball filed. Hell, I even like the Hot Dog and Fruit Lady, but the ladies, right next to the playground with hundreds of toys are not right. lol. What if, you have no money and you take your little one and they keep begging for a toy? Plus is makes the park look even more like Mini TJ. Just saying. Besides this, I enjoy coming and walking around the track. Nothing else to say about this place.

I've typically followed the…read morecommon path, which is paved for a portion, open dirt road for a portion, and has some light hiking type trails but mostly easy. Today I took the path less traveled that leads to the main path at the center point, and it was intense but good. Highly recommend pants if you do that path. Views aren't spectacular but cool. No animals on our route today thankfully as there could've been snakes given the heat!

Nice oasis in the middle of the city! There's a parking lot…read morenear the entrance which is a major plus. ColdwaterCanyon Park isn't your typical one, but it has easy hiking trails (connects to Fryman Canyon), benches and beautiful views. Another bonus is Tree People with their nice plants, picnic benches and clena restrooms. Sometimes I like to bring a book and read, relax, enjoy the peace (when not interrupted by leaf blower at some house in the hills). There are water fountains and a snack vending machine with healthier options. This is a great place to take a walk, exercise, hike, depending what you are in the mood for. The views are amazing and it's great to be surrended by nature, so many trees and birds (I have seen many blue birds around). Keep your music to yourself (bring those earbuds), there are many shady spots and cute flowers, depends on the season. Enjoyable spot in LA if you need to recharge, exercise, get away, be in the nature!

I was driving past the area and saw the sign for the recreation center and quickly stopped by. I'm…read morealways looking for nice parks to bring my dog to play or to sniff and practice training. I'm impressed by the spaciousness, there is so much to do here. I see a softball field and a large dirt path around the whole center as well as so much grass they might use that for soccer and I see more far away. This is like a gem in the middle of bunch of busy streets! Parking is easy and there are tons of spots but also street parking if you want. I read some other reviews that the clean up isn't great but I'm here today on a Tueaday at 11am and I see zero trash, everything looks really clean so maybe they've improved the maintenance. My only qualm is the trees are far and in between on the side I parked so I wouldn't be able to come on sunny days, I'm very sun sensitive and the trees are few and off the dirt path. There is a shadier side across the way where the kids playground is and that looks nice but I would avoid it with my dog. By the way if you are missing your white metal water bottle, you left it in this beautiful tree here by the parking lot.

This is a great recreation center in the San Fernando Valley…read more There is a large playground in the southeast corner of the park. There is a pool. There is an indoor gym/facility. There's an artificial turf soccer field. There are also batting cages? But I don't really know the details there. There is a large dirt track around four baseball fields. Around the track there are various pieces of exercise equipment. Be aware, there are always a ton of dogs. A lot of them off leash. The main reason this place gets four stars though is that there isn't enough parking and the parking there is, is terrible.

It feels peaceful, well cared for, and instantly calming the moment you walk in. There is a small $5 admission fee, which honestly feels completely worth it, especially because it clearly helps keep the grounds so clean, beautiful, and well maintained. I brought my parents here while they were visiting, and they absolutely loved it. If you're lucky enough to visit during the right season, you may even catch the cherry blossoms, which make the whole experience even more special. There is also plenty of parking on site, which makes visiting easy. One thing to keep in mind is that they are closed on Sundays. Also, if you have extra time, Sepulveda Basin Lake is nearby and worth checking out as well. A lovely, serene spot that feels like a hidden gem in the Valley.

I went on a weekday afternoon and it was super quiet, which made it even better for just slowing down and wandering. There are plenty of benches to sit and take it all in, and the sound of the water alone is enough to lower your blood pressure. It's not huge, but that's part of the charm. You can take your time and really appreciate the details without feeling rushed. I also appreciated how clean everything was and you can tell they put a lot of care into maintaining the space.

You can reserve these for birthday parties and other gatherings! It really wasn't that crowded and there are benches along the outskirts of the playground for parents to sit. They also have bathrooms and tennis courts. Really my only "complaint' is that trash cans were so hard to find! I'd love to see some more around the park.

Parking was easy since there is a parking lot. However, it can get filled quickly and luckily I was able to snag a spot. Not sure what the other parking options are when the lot runs out. The park itself is super nice! It's hilly and vibrantly green. My favorite part is you have a great view of the city up top from the hill. The grass is also comfy to sit on. They have a playground, several picnic tables, and a bathroom too. There were several other groups celebrating occasions there, but it was not too crowded. A perfect option for nice weather. I would definitely recommend this park as a great picnic option and would visit again.
