I had gone to this park for the first time in 2021 and several times more there after, primarily for birthday parties. I immediately liked the park. With its huge open space, lots of grass area (real grass), large playground, skate park, sky view on trail walks, picnic areas with benches, and clean bathrooms ... a great package for all your park, celebratory and sports needs. First opened up in 2018, Cesar Solis is the newest and nicest looking park in South Bay area. Downside: no convenience stores nearby

Nice park. Initially, I thought it was just a small grassy…read morearea but it expands to a couple huge fields, a skate park, and a few areas so sit and have a bbq. I love that it's close to home and I can take my son there to kick the soccer ball around. It's also got a walking path. I haven't calculated the distance of it, but I'm sure after a few loops, you'll get your steps in!

What a mass of beautiful greenery. Any outdoor sport you want to practice, this is the park to do…read moreso. Community Parks create memories for birthdays, holding hands, kickball, learning to ride the bike and sometimes relaxing under the sun. By the way this is a good park to learn to roller skate. Montgomery Waller is surrounded by homes, near schools, the community library, senior housing and actual vibrant neighborhoods. It is quite a beautiful layout of this park. From a couple of baseball fields, full on outdoor basketball courts, paved walkways and walking trails, and play areas. It's a lot of land. If you can't social distance here, then there's a problema. As you walk the unmarked course around the park you may see cheerleaders practicing, litte league baseball, Pop Warner football, AYSO soccer, father's pushing baby carriages, celebration of birthdays and dog walkers. I really enjoy how this park is elderly friendly and safe. The paved walkways is very clean and flat and no cracks, crevices or unleveled ground. There are several manageable inclines and declines. If I was too start a walking or running club I would train at this park. In fact, I see groups doing yoga, tai-chi and cartwheels. It's biiiig. There are two areas of play structures that will likely become boring after a couple of times because expansion needs to happen. The rec center where classes are offered is atop the hill and classes are usually free. I saw Zumba having a blast. Also, there are dog poop bag boxes which offer free bags. Don't let your dog poop on the paved clean walkway. The cons to this park are a few: Limited toilets. I saw one outhouse, and two single toilets in this big park. I guess because this neighborhood is 90% diverse, perhaps they don't use toilets. I guess. Cause this is ignorant for this space to not have real toilets around the entire Park area. The other con, is the walkway should be marked with mileage markers. Parking is available in the lots or around the park. I come here once a week and enjoy it a lot. It is mostly an unshaded park from morning to evening. It's not impossible to find shade but it is a task. Bring your umbrella and/or canopy. You will thank me later. Absolutely, I would recommend this park if you are near the area. Would I make a special trip? Ummm, probably because it is a best kept secret; many people don't know it exists. If you're a trainer or have an exercise class or meet up outdoor meditation, this is a perfect place to do it.

We booked space #1 for our baby shower and it was the best choice. It allowed up to 100 people with…read morevery minimal restrictions and it cost less than $250 for the whole day! The space overlooks the water and is the first space you'll see driving up. It's a bit secluded from the rest of the park allowing you to have a more private event with your guests. We ended up having just 40 people attend our baby shower, but with the ample space, it allowed us to fully decorate the space and bring separate tables for desserts and welcome table. The stage space was perfect for the photo backdrop and everything came out so beautifully. Highly recommend this space for any events, even a small outdoor wedding. Check-in was super easy and we were allowed music, decors, and even alcohol on site. Some of us came an hour early to start the decorations and stayed an hour later to clean up, but you can access your space anytime between 9-5:30pm. Everything was perfect. Our event was only 4 hours so it was more than enough time to come early to set up and fully clean up after. Restrooms are super clean, park is well maintained with rangers on-site. Parking is $5 all day and plenty of our things for guests to do such as playground for the kids or the open grass area to run around in or nice hiking trails all around for a quick exploring.

The park points to Mexico. Literally. (Look at the map.)…read more When I was here, it wasn't soggy. That was the nearby and much bigger Border Field State Park, whose sogginess changed our plans. That was all right, and I've given cryptic clues in my Barrio Logan-train-station review. It had to do with shrimp and warm Tecate, but it's not that kind of story. I didn't drink, and I managed to maintain my vegetarianness despite the difficulty of doing so. I've cracked under much milder conditions, which makes me want to affirm--although I won't--that pressure brings out the best in me. When I was reading at Cal, I attended a solidarity strike. It had absolutely nothing to do with Larsen Field, actually, but one of the organizers (?) reminded me a lot of one of the organizers on that bus in Tijuana. I wondered whether it was the same strong woman, but then I remembered that she (the one on the bus in Tijuana) was a nurse, and nurses didn't organize non-nurse UC workers, did they? Or maybe they did. I ate a burrito at some point. The field is well maintained, and that surprised me. I wanted to play Little League here. Or do more than pee in the community center, which was decorated nicely, like it was done by a second-grade teacher. Kids will run where they please. And they do. The river that runs near here is disappointing, but it reminds me of home. Home isn't Mexico. It's Whittier. But anyone who knows where Whittier Boulevard is might associate that home with Mexico (except for the Central Americans), and to be perfectly honest, I understand that. Better than I understand the Mission.

There is only one way in and out so depending on which direction your coming or going, a U-turn will be involved. Park is not big but it is green and offers plenty of open space.

The park consists of a very, very large field of grass and a food vending type Booth. There are also several bistro sets with two chairs each that line the field or grass patch area. It is across the street from the Life Time Gym and the Conserv Gas Station & convenience store. There is also a dog park across the street that is included in this park. While we were there, we saw a lot of signs saying that there's a Friday night event for the summer. Every Friday night between 5 and 9 PM they have food and music and events in this park. I think it's really great for the community members who live here.

The festival had food truck vendors, radio stations Magic 92.5 and 91X giving away goodies. DJ Hurricane Andrew played a lot of great 80s music. They also had a Beer & Wine garden and 80s arcades for the kids. People were able to bring their beach chairs and enjoy the live music. The new park at Cota Vera had a beautiful kids playground and event entertained adults and kids. This was one of the best events I've been in a while and look forward to next year's festival. Happy Yelping :)

We've been coming to this park for years, and it continues to feel like a hidden gem tucked into…read morethe neighborhood. Parking is limited to street parking only -- there's no dedicated lot -- so it can fill up quickly during evenings and weekends. The park has two large pavilions with plenty of seating, perfect for birthdays, picnics, or group gatherings. I've seen everything from small family parties to large celebrations here. They have 2 bathrooms. There's also a sand volleyball pit, two full baseball fields, and a large playground area that keeps kids entertained for hours. As a dog owner, I appreciate that the park has multiple trash and recycling bins, so I never have to carry waste bags for long. The fields are mostly well-maintained, though there are a few areas with gopher holes -- something to watch for if you're running or walking dogs off-leash. The only downside is that the park occasionally attracts a few transient individuals or trailers parked nearby for extended periods. It hasn't felt unsafe, but it's worth being aware if you visit with kids or during late hours. Overall, this park offers great value for the community -- plenty of space, activities for all ages, and a welcoming vibe. It's one of our go-to spots for casual walks and weekend outings with the dogs.
