Our 3 y/o wasn't sure about it at first, but he eventually liked swinging like a superhero. :) There's only one tire swing, so expect a little line of kids, but worth the wait for those who have never got to experience one of these things before. We parked on the street for this park right across from the entrance. I didn't see a parking lot anywhere, but there was plenty of street parking.

It's a beautiful spot to visit, take photos, and explore the variety of plants and animals. It's a great activity for families, and kids under 2 get in for free. I did a full loop and was able to see everything in about 2-3 hours. Daily admission can be a bit pricey at $18, but if you have someone with an EBT card, you can get two adult entries for free. Student tickets are also discounted to $14. Definitely worth stopping by. Parking is completely free and located right in front.

Pretty decent park…read more Not sure where the restrooms are located. Which would've been a five star otherwise. Streets are narrow for residential so parking is street only so far, haven't located the parking lots. So far I heard two very loud cars pass by scaring the kids a bit. The area is very clean, there are gated play areas for designated ages (2-5 and 5-12). Swings located in each. The 2-5 area is train themed. The 5-12 area is habitat themed. Picnic tables are located between the play areas. Plenty of seating area inside play area. Water fountains and trash cans available. Bikes can be secured near a pole with bike repair tools. Exercise equipment scattered around.

During the holidays, this park is decorated in correpondence to the celebration. Pretty cool! Quite peaceful and serene, too! Love the nostalgia atmosphere that it brings! The neat part of this park is that it is situated in front of the Monrovia Library. Its name is so fitting in that case. On Friday nights, they have their Monrovia Street Fair & Market at this park. Please note streets will be blocked and street parking may be limited. I would recommend parking closer to Foothill Blvd or in the Foothills Plaza. Please offer your support to the businesses within the plaza if you should park there. Thank you!

I assumed it must be the park so parked and walked in to see. Sure enough it was the park. Not too crowded. A decent size field for kids to run errand and a nice playground with slides and swings. Our other friends came in from the opposite side so there are multiple entrances to this park.

It's a great place to exercise or just relax and enjoy a bit of neighborhood nature. I come birding here sometimes as well - there are some seasonal AND resident favorites of mine here like the Western Tanagers, Cedar Waxwings, Bewick's Wrens, Western Bluebirds, and White-breasted Nuthatches! There's squirrels and often rabbits here - I've also seen bears and coyotes here so be aware. If you enter from Grand Avenue, there are 58 whimsical stairs to go down - all painted in a rainbow of colors! A lot of locals run/walk them for exercise. The other entrance is around the block on Valle Vista Ave and only has a few steps to contend with. At the top of the Grand Ave stairs, there's a small park area with a couple of benches, a nice bear statue, and several bird nest boxes that the Bluebirds & Nuthatches use in the spring. Down the stairs leads to the main, larger park with picnic tables, playground equipment, and lovely views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Parking is residential street parking but there's always plenty. The only downside is there are no bathrooms. Tons of people walk their dogs here and bring them to play and the city provides pet-waste bags and a water fountain for the humans AND the dogs lol. There is a leash law here - it's not a dog park - most people ignore it but be aware as I've seen it enforced occasionally.

It is mostly paved walkways and a sandy road, for you to walk through. The trail itself is about 3.3 miles long, but honestly...only the first mile and a quarter is worth the walk. It is very dry or desert-like in the middle. There's not much to see in between that stretch. And your foot and knees will hurt walking on the paved walkways. There's also many cracks and raises along the path, so may be challenging for anyone with mobility or may need wheelchair access. Street parking mostly and as of the time of this post, the sidewalk entrance is closed, so just walk through the grass.
