Many dogs walking around too so super pet friendly with trash bags and bins. There are 2 big playgrounds and a fitness center as well. There's also a little rose garden! Of course Rosemead had to have roses haha. Parking is convenient either street parking or parking in the basketball court or swimming pool lots. There are couple public restrooms open at night. The area feels very safe and well lit. I saw people dancing, baseball and soccer teams practicing and many people going out on their daily walks. I'd imagine it would be a great place for bbq as well during the day. Little details matter. Great job city of rosemead. Bugs and mosquitos love me but I managed to not get a single bite!! The gazebo is powered by solar which is pretty cool. Water fountains are dog friendly. I can't think of any improvements haha keep up the good work!

This is my second go-to park when Almansor Park is a further distance from me when I would like to…read moreget a good walk in. I enjoy walking at the park and I appreciate a padded walking trail at the park. I haven't tried walking here during the mornings, but overall at night, it is decently lit. The track has several curves so I don't know if it is that suitable for running although I have seen runners on the track before. There's also some exercise equipment along the track as well. Other amenities for the park- -swimming pool, skate park, basketball court, soccer field, baseball field, picnic benches Overall, I usually would prefer Almansor for walking/ running but if I can't get to Almansor, I would prefer this as an alternative park to get a walk in.

I had a lot of fun riding the bowl, but it traps a lot of leaves but I was able to ride through without falling. The bowl has nice waterfalls to help gain speed on your carve. Very fun!

The seesaw horses that this spot has are unique. We've been to so many parks, so it's rare to see something new, and this spot was the first time I'd seen those. The skate park was completely empty, so this would be a kid-friendly spot to take your kid's board, skates, or scooters to for some safe learning without distractions. The bathrooms at this park were really gross, just a single room/stall for men and women, but at least they had something lol.

One of my favorite parks in the area--…read more I originally heard of this park after a recommendation on where to host a baby shower/ park picnic. We ended up renting a large picnic shelter and it is actually in high demand during the summer time (rented out in June for an August date). Despite a very warm day (mid-high 90s) the shelter kept us relatively cool. The kids loved the space-themed playground and the large shelter can host up to 180 or so people whereas the smaller shelter can host up to 50 or so people. (+): experience with renting out the shelter- benches were clean, employees were nice (+): amenities of the park- tennis courts, large walking area, multiple parking lots, basketball courts Overall, I would come here again and also consider renting out the park shelters.

Live Oak Park is one of the most popular parks among residents locally and visitors that reside in…read moreother cities. They have a designated walkway for people who are running/walking, basketball courts, tennis courts, pickleball courts, playground, and spaceship in the middle. It's newly renovated which makes the quality a lot smoother than before. Restrooms are available as well near the courts and also near the playground area. Parking is plentiful in parking lot but can fill up quick. Street parking is also available for free. There's 8 pickleball courts, which fills up quick these days. You can queue up with your paddles when it's full. The pickleball community here is great, on the weekends there's people who manage it voluntarily which is nice for newcomers. Overall, a great renovated park, very clean, friendly people, and spacious.

Sometimes, there are skateboarding lessons going on so the lot may be full. This skate park is okay. There are various parts for beginners and experts to skate on.

This is the closest skatepark to me and I'll take it…read more But beware, if it's really hot these ramps will definitely intensify that heat for you. You feel it radiate on your face and body. It has a lot of open flat lay out area to skate around if you aren't about the bowl/pool life, but still want to catch some little hills. It's a cool spot to practice on some tricks and skills. For all you roller skaters, I was told the half pipe was super short so she couldn't really do what she wanted given the length. Oh, also there is only one portapotty here for bathroom use. So beware girls and anyone who likes a clean bathroom. Unless there are some real bathrooms at another park within this park. (Etc. Golf park, playground, etc.) Either way, good Practice and workout park

The park is far more beginner-friendly than you may think at first glance, with several gentle banks and easy roll-ins to get you into the flow section, but it also rewards you with more and more possibilities the more you progress in skill. It's very easy to maintain speed for laps throughout the park once you get a feel for it, and the transition is pretty moderate/standard throughout the park. Nothing truly tricky to deal with if you're just trying to cruise around, but endless possibilities for someone truly skilled, from what I see happen here. The concrete in the shallow of the bowl is starting to develop a bit of pitting in two spots, so take note of that if you're riding smaller/harder wheels.

This 7 year old is an intermediate level skater. His home park is the Lahaina, Hawaii skatepark. When not at the park he skates on their quiet street using his ramp.

Slight negatives include very little seating and lack of shade in mid-afternoon. There was also a but of a hunt to find the restrooms, located behind the third base area of the baseball field.

Plenty of skateboarders and roller blades (mostly young people) use this skatepark to show their mad skill. They're respectful and wears proper gear which is a park rule.

Barnes For Thought: Overall, it's a nice park. Pretty cool that they had enough funding to install permanent pickleball courts. Perhaps the next thing they can fix up is the restrooms.
