Franklin Park off of Inglewood in Redondo Beach is a nice quaint park, nothing huge about it but it…read morerivals it's neighboring park playgrounds. Parking is easy. The play structure is good for 6 yrs and under to entertain them. It does have ample shaded areas which is a plus, compared to other parks where the plays structures get hot to the touch due to the direct sunlight and there's no shade.

A safe and clean neighborhood park…read more I've come to this little park a dozen times over the past several years. A good friend of ours lives in this middle class neighborhood and we go here for picnics or her kids' birthday parties. It's not a destination park, just a great little park for people in the area to enjoy. The terrain has many small hills and trees. There are a few flat areas that kids will use to play soccer. You'll find a couple basketball hoops, a basic playground, a couple picnic tables, charcoal grills, plenty of bench seating and a surprisingly clean but basic-city-park-style bathroom. There is plenty of space to have a bouncy-house or other entertainment for a children's party. One interesting thing is that there is often a cool breeze blowing through this park which can sometimes be quite strong. Our friend refers to it as being a wind tunnel. Nothing fancy but the kids will love it.

Ah, life was so simple then. And it's been decades since I've been back, and my, how it's all come full circle: came through to celebrate one of my cousin's kids' birthdays. It is almost exactly as I remember it, but with upgrades. There are more picnic areas now, the playground is up to date, most everything is maintained so clean! It was kinda cool guiding the kids to kite flying and watching them play games during the party. For a few moments there, I was back to my pre-teen self again. I was told they have festivals here once in a while, so I really should keep up with their scheduled events! I loved it then, I still love it now. Glad it's still around and still maintained so well.

It's adjacent to the public library. My daughter enjoyed the playground here and liked the rock-climbing part of the playground. The bad: The picnic area looks worn down and outdated. The park is on the smaller side. One of the big trash cans was cracked and had a giant hole at the bottom. One of the circular stepping components of the park was missing. The interesting: The park ground was a mix of sand and the springy floor.

And next to the clubhouse I discovered 4 shuffleboard courts (in photo). I wonder if they ever get used. As a kid, I loved the game. (I liked croquet too, I was a weird kid.) Walteria Library is conveniently located next to the park. I posted about 10 photos.

This park has potential to be great, it's a nice big grassy area with a playground, benches, basketball court, restrooms, decent parking. The cons are that there are spider/cob webs all over the playground where children play, on multiple occasions there were cigarette butts on the playground, beer bottles on the grass, sometimes there are homeless people that just stare and makes me feel uneasy, and although it does say no dogs allowed, people have off leash dogs running around here which in my opinion, is pretty unsafe around children.

The play area I'd say os good for ages 6 and under but, maybe some 8-10 years old kids can find joy too. They have a nice picnic area in the spacious grass and not too many tree obstacles to fly a kite too, or even navigate an RC drone or toy without electrical or utility wires either. Parking was easy because the park was empty.

It felt like about 90 at the beach, it's hot. But the park looked inviting with its beautiful shade trees. It's about an acre and a half, small, and has nothing but trees and grass, benches, a kids' playground, and restrooms. I like the old streetlamps, must be pretty at night. The kiddie play area has the oddest surface I've seen. It's squishy, like a thick sponge. I was unprepared when I stepped on it to take a photo and almost lost my balance. Seems like it would be a nice soft spot for a kid to fall. My pic of the sign tells more about it. This park is narrow, and runs for a block, through a residential 'hood. It's a nice cut-through for people heading to the plaza around Starbucks on 190th. And there were people enjoying the park today, even in the heat. A red-faced little boy was trying to reach the drinking fountain while his dad laid under a tree in the shade...... The posted sign got my attention, the sign that lists all the "don'ts" for the park: No dogs (true in every Redondo Beach park except the dog park). No bicycles. No ball playing. No skateboarding. No roller skates or roller blades. That's a lot of restrictions! If you come here, plan on just walking through and admiring the trees..... 10 photos are posted.

But unlike Valley Park or Veterans Park, for example, it's not a place to make a day of it. There's trees, grass, little benches, you can have a picnic there -maybe a reststop while you are out on a walk or a bike ride. But there's no barbecue pits and no open fires allowed. There's a little area with kid's things like a slide. And when I was there on a sunday afternoon there was a building that appeared to have restrooms but they were all locked up. It's got lots a shade, so like I said earlier, this isn't a bad place to have a picnic, just no barbecues or fires.
