Parking is easy with a large lot right next to the lake, opposite of the lake are some hiking trails if you have more time. It's a nice loop going around with some different areas along the way such as a small creek, reeds near the shore, and some water works that looks like they have been turned off or no longer function. Even in Winter there are a lot of different birds around. My kids loved following and chasing the large pelicans in the lake. You can fish here and there are children's fishing competitions. Just keep in mind to have a permit because when we went there was a police officer checking and ticketing people.

Their climbing structures are great for bigger kids and they have cool features as well like a chalk board and cool climbing added as well.

The only down fall to this park is there is no bathroom but overall it's a fun park to visit for sure! There are benches and nice grassy area to hang or have a snack.

This is now one of the parks in the SCV areas where they have added climbing/hiking steps similar to that of Central Park, so it has become a bit more popular in that regard. I took my 4 and almost 2 year old on a saturday morning 9:30-11:30 and they had a blast. What is amazing is they also added shade sails over the existing 3 play structures and the exercise equipment area, which makes it so much more convenient, accessible and comfortable year round. They also added a softball field with a shaded/covered bench and viewing area, new bathrooms near the field, more covered picnic tables (available to reserve for parties and events), and a new basketball court near the playgrounds featuring 1 regulation height full court and 2 lower hoops for younger kids. They also added 2 big-kid swings in a shaded area near the big kid play structure which is awesome, as before there were just two toddler swings (which are now also significantly shaded btw). Sun exposure can still be tough depending on time of day, as when we were leaving the smallest 3 slides were heating up quite a bit for my little ones comfort, but the kids had a blast nonetheless. My only knock, is that with all these great improvements and renovations, I wish they would have improved and upgraded the existing bathrooms near the playgrounds too. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with them, but they could use some basically upgrades for the sink, dividers between urinals, and just overall modernization and environmental efficiency similar to the new bathrooms by the softball field and at some of the other renovated parks. Highly recommend this park. It is definitely one of my go-tos when I need to get the boys out of the house. It is a great place for kids to roam, explore, and play,

We frequent new parks and I hate when I can't find any updated photos for them so that's how I started my instagram @thatabcsquad to share. And now I'd like to contribute to Yelp as well. I've had my eyes on this park for a while now but whenever I would put it into Google Maps, it would say it's under construction so I didn't wanna haul three kids to a park that 'may' be closed (we live 40 mins away) But a friend passed by and saw it was open so we had to go check it out! We loved every second of it!! - huge fully shaded playground!! Three sections, bigger, middle and smaller. - BIG slides for those who love them! - lots of climbing and crawling areas - plenty of grassy space - baseball fields - shaded picnic tables - clean bathrooms - water fountains - parking lot close by to playground If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend this park!! We were told there's also a little nature trail too! We gotta check that out next time.

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.

One of the things they made fun of me for bringing was my big giant hat.Guess who was the ONLY person comfortable at the park ? THIS GIRL. ‍You're welcome, everyone. The park is huge and wide open, with a really cool stage and a great setup for concerts. The only problem? There's basically no shade. So while everyone else was roasting in the sun, I was happily sitting there with my giant hat like the concert-planning expert I knew I was. They did have several ice cream trucks and a hot dog stand behind the stage, where there was some shade and a couple of benches. Eventually, we ended up hanging out back there and realized...WE WERE LITERALLY BACKSTAGE. Suddenly, we felt VERY VIP. We had such a great time singing along to all the yacht rock classics, enjoying the beautiful summer evening and soaking up one last concert in the park before the season ended. Honestly, it was the perfect way to end the summer.Thank you, Porter Ranch, for the good times, the music, and for proving once again that you should always listen to the friend who brings the giant hat. Five stars!

It is Pasadena's largest fully maintained park located south of the Rose Bowl Stadium. It is indeed a beautiful park. Huge parking lot available off Arroyo Boulevard. There is a baseball stadium, football and soccer fields, tennis courts, swimming pool facilities, many picnic tables, good size children's playground area, restrooms, drinking fountains, etc. Barbecue pits are available in most picnic areas. I would love to return to this park on my own personal time and enjoy its amenities. If you're in the Pasadena area and need a place to walk, rest, hang out, have lunch, or play, Brookside Park may be the place for you.

That said, hiking in a big group is generally safer, but it's still important to keep toddlers and young kids close.

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.
