Garvey Ranch Park (GRP) was recommended for pickleball play by a couple of my work colleagues. You…read moreknow who you are. Thank you! What a hidden gem! GRP features two lighted baseball fields, picnic facilities, restrooms, lighted tennis/pickleball courts, children's playground, a community room, museum and observatory and measures approximately 18 acres. Quite huge park, but you wouldn't know it from first glance. Very clean and well kept. Two parking lots are available. East side of the park on Orange Ave is where you'll find the picnic shelters, larger playground, community room, historical museum, basketball courts and observatory. West side of the park on Alhambra Ave is closer to the smaller playground and larger baseball diamond. As for the 1 full tennis and 1 full tennis + 4 pickleball shared courts, they are located on Orange Ave near the intersection of Orange Ave and Metro Dr. If you're coming from the north on Orange Ave, drive past the entrance of the park and go up the hill just a bit. The courts will be on your right. Very small parking lot in front of the courts. Street parking is also available. Lighted courts are first come first serve. For pickleball, permanent lines are available, but you'll have to bring your own net (BYON). If you plan to bring food/drinks, be careful of ants. They will find them LOL. Our work group had so much fun. We met some new pickleballer friends as well. Definitely a great place to play some amazing pickleball. Thank you GRP!

Kids can aspire to be astronauts on this playground with the layout. My kids blasted off with their imagination. They even have an old Lion water fountain (not working). 4/5 Parking Limited spots can cause you to search for spots on the street. Especially when there is a birthday party near the playground. We fpund the last spot. 3/5 Bathrooms Old and need updating. Makes you feel like you are in prison with the steel toilets. 5/5 Likelihood to Return I think we will add this to the park rotation when we are in the area. We only explored one side, we did see the baseball field on the other side. But the open space and playground were a nice touch. Psalm 16:1, God bless and Stay Prayed Up

This park is really beautiful and well kept. There are two playgrounds to choose from which I find…read morereally nice. One has a gate all the way around it and is for the bigger kids. Has the swings for the bigger kids and also a bigger slide. The other playground is more for the smaller kids to play. It has the swing to put your little baby in and they stay secured to push. I personally think the smaller playground needs to be the one gated since smaller kids play on it and run around more freely. It's located on Michigan street down the way a little from Whittier Blvd. Hence the name Michigan Park. It's a pretty park to come have a picnic or take a walk. Every time I come it's never too crowded which is really nice. Has lots of tables and some bbq pits, so great place for a party.

I have a friend who only wants to meet when it's convenient for her and it's always at a playground…read morebecause hashtag: momlife, and I am starting to wonder what I am getting out of this friendship. Anyway, our recent meetup was here, which was awkward for me because I always arrive early and she always late, and when you're an awkward person to begin with and happen to be at a playground with no kids, people will probably start to notice and wonder... So I sat in my car in the hot sun on the street (no shade or lot parking here) for 15 minutes before entering this relatively small park+playground. The park side is tiny and the terrain is lumpy on purpose. Great for dogs or small humans running up hills their sizes. There is outdoor exercise equipment, picnic tables but no bathrooms. The playground itself seems typical - got the tiny kid structure and a bigger kid structure, net tunnel, slides, climbing bars, etc. that held up the weight of fully grown adults trying to pick off their kids (Sidenote: I usually take a ton of photos but because it was so crowded with minors, I thought I better not...) There is a large merry-go-round, which you don't see much of in LA or in modern times. I know because I have been to like 5 playgrounds in the last few months. That makes me an expert, dude. It was really busy on a Sunday...funday for the kids, and it's free, so parents can't complain. The park/playground seems relatively clean and new, at least the plastic equipment hasn't shown its age yet. Upon research, I have come to know that this park was completed in December 2012. Overall, cool little park if you have dogs/kids and happen to live in the area or if your friend makes you meet her here.

Great community park. Looks newly built!…read more There are two playgrounds in the same area. One for ages 5-12 years old and another for 3-5 years old. There's a cushioned mat for the playground area. The highlight of the playground is the rock climbing structure that connects to the playground. It's a perfect opportunity to make an obstacle course for the kids! There are 2 baby swings and 2 regular swings. Parking is on the street in front of the park entrance on Central Ave. or you can park in the back residential street where it's a dead end. There are restrooms and 2 water bottle refill stations. The track is pretty neat for kids. On the cement, there are words and symbols for the kids to do. Such as, count, hop, jump, etc. The grass area is well kept and there are 2 t-ball fields. I regularly see people having birthday parties here, utilizing the indoor multipurpose room and the outside tables. The trees give the playground and benches lots of shade, which is really nice in the summer months. There are 2 full court basketball courts and benches around it. I love how clean and peaceful this place is. This park is great for families!

I was looking for a nice park to take my toddler to play and I am glad I drove by this park…read moreyesterday by chance. It's a small gated park, which is a plus because I can keep up with my energetic toddler who loves to run around. The restrooms are close by the play structures as well a gazebo with some picnic tables. This would be a great park to host a kid's birthday party. There's also a water fountain and it has the water dispenser to refill your water bottle. There are two basketball courts and grassy area to play soccer or baseball. The park is clean and well maintained. We went on a Friday around 12-1pm and there was only one other little girl and adult in the park. It was easy to find a parking spot right outside the park. This will be our go to park to go play and burn off some energy. My son loved the rock climbing structure.

Built in 1928 by Peter Snyder as the future community meeting place for his planned Midwick View Estates --- today it is the location of the Monterey Park Chamber of Commerce. Amazingly, the buildings interior has remained much the same as it was in 1928. I went to see it on an "Esotouric" bus tour. The building is equally impressive from the outside. To the west is a great view of the lovely waterfall (El Portal) today known as Cascades Park.

Lots of people with their family and friends plus their furry friends spending a beautiful and sunny weekend at this park. Plenty of benches for parties and all. Children's playground is available. Libary of Books located at the front of the park. Great place to take a comfortable and relaxing stroll in the early morning or evening when it's cooler. Love to be back for more yoga and nice walks! Street parking is available, but may be limited when there are a lot of people. Come here early if possible.

They provided me with a quote and was super responsive (and delightful) to communicate with. I was able to inquire and book in one afternoon. I chose the fun pack 3. It came with a ball pit, soft stacking block toys and bouncy animals. The kids loved it! It was a hit especially with our tiny toddlers. It was nice to have them play in a safe space. We opted to have them set up in our garage. That way it was out of the sun and the parents got to see the kids. I was extremely happy to see them sanitize all the play toys before the kids were able to play. Such a great help for them to clean. It shows they really care about their customers because they have kids too. Highly recommend! We will definitely rent from them again!
