Small neighborhood park serves its purpose well…read more We got a new basketball and excited to test it out the park. There are a good amount of trees to absorb the noise pollution from the traffic on Knott Avenue. Small picnic area is available for a little lunch rendez vous. There is a play area for children - jungle gym, swings. There is also a nice grassy area for you dog lovers and great for t-ball or soccer practice. Basketball court is available for a quick game of horse, one-on-one or larger team play. And there are nets in the basket, for all your nothing-but-net shots. It's always good to get some fresh air and spend time at the park.

For the purposes of the playground for kids, this is a good park to go to!…read more It's one of the smaller community parks in terms of play area, but the playground has enough activities to keep kids busy. There are also a lot of trees that cover a good amount of shade, so it'd be a great spot for any kind of event. Just remember you need to book with the city if you are a resident to get the reservation. The permitting process is interesting and based on honor system kind-of. You get issued the permit, then on that day your permit is your proof that you have the location, so if someone tries to take it from you, you can show them the document. However, if there are issues then you'll need to call the authorities which can vary in time of response so it's still a risk to book. The rest of the park is a lot of walkways and grass, and it's a small community park so it's good for a nice stroll. Just don't expect much shade on the walkways in the other side of the park since that area is not covered much by trees. Otherwise, it's a good, calm park to visit and have fun with the kids.

Nephew had his 7th birthday here which was the perfect option given the amount of people in…read moreattendance. And it really is a good spot for it. There were tons of games planned for his guests and there was plenty of space to do them. Not once did anyone feel cramped at any given time. Since there were a lot of peeps who came through, fam and friends came together and brought extra tables and chairs to accommodate everyone. The entire set up was also close to restrooms. Park provided a lot of trash bins, so that was never an issue. Out of respect for the park's staff, we made sure to do our part and cleaned up as much as we could when the occasion concluded. (The group brought extra trash bags as well and made sure they were sealed and piled by the bins as neatly as possible.) It's the least we can do, eh?! Dog friendly so long as they're leashed. Parking on the lot can be a challenge, but street is also available. Nephew was happy and clearly had a great time. And that's the most important take from this stop. Highly recommending, especially for summer events.

Some picnic tables, also workout stations for the more physically inclined, winding paths keep it interesting. Great for dog walks- just please pick up your pup's doody - there was a doggie poop bag station at one spot. Be aware that Thursday is street sweeping day - I almost forgot! I've seen cars get tickets - La Palma and Cerritos share this park. Lovely xeriscape gardens interspersed with well maintained green lawns. Seems pretty safe and well lit even at night.

Fun playgrounds and tall slides for the kids to enjoy. There is a baseball field in back and behind that, an exercise area with the typical park equipment. Well maintained. I am sure it has to do with the fact that it is tied to the school next door. The only downfall is the lack of shade on a hot day. We were all baking. I find many people set up their party areas under the small, shady trees on left side of the entrance. This doesn't allow the regular folks to go sit in the shade. Other than that, the girls enjoyed it. We will visit again on a gloomy day or earlier in the AM to prevent the bake.

There is always street parking, its never packed and it is as clean as a public park is going to get. There are always well behaved dogs & polite owners in the park and I always take it as a good sign that the neighborhood has their garage doors up and unattended. There is a basketball court as well if you don't have little ones. The playground is not really meant for older kids but in this day and age I figure they wouldn't be here once they hit that age group anyway. :(
