    Baseball diamonds, a gym, newer playground equipment, a skate park, a huge open, lush grassy area, located in a hear neighborhood...what more can you ask for in a park? I hadn't been here in a while and came for the Gardena Jazz Fest. It was very well organized. Parking attendants were helpful. The event was well organized. Music was great. There was a variety of vendors who were set up in areas that didn't take away from seating. There was plenty of port-a-potties next to the restrooms with outside sinks. The fest allows food and drinks, high is the best part!

    I've been coming to this park since I was a kid. It's a nice place to go since it has lots of space for parties. There are basketball courts (indoors and outdoors), tennis courts and baseball diamonds. There are two parts of the park where they have play grounds. The uphill has more of an updated look compared to its downhill counterpart. The downhill has more tables for picnics, parties and BBQ's and is even good for kite flying in the open spaces away from the trees. Although the signs say no dogs allowed in the park, many of the community members take their dogs walking here anyway. The Gardena Police Department doesn't bother you about it which is nice because other places are pretty adamant about not letting your pooch walk. I say be sure to bring doggy bags with you for poop patrol. I think long as there isn't mounds of poop everywhere and no incidents with dogs not on leashes the park are okay with dogs being in the park area. Rowely park has all kinds of events throughout the year that is free. There is the MLK Day Parade and carnival in February. They put on a free show of Fireworks for the 4th of July. I used to go to the park to view them up close, but now its just easier to sit in my drive way and watch. There isn't that much of a difference, but its nice that its one of the few places that doesn't charge you. The park also holds the Jazz Festival in August and its a nice event as well. I've never been to the actual event, but I can hear the music from my house! For Halloween, they have a carnival and even transform one of the buildings into a haunted house. During Christmas they'll have Santa show up on the back of a Fire Engine provided by the Fire Department and pass out candy and other things to the kids that are there. This park is very community oriented which I love and keeps kids out of trouble with the programs that they have here.

    I've frequented this park with family dozens of times over the years and today I decided to leave a review. Over that time it has seen a number of remodels. I came today and noticed they put in a good sized "skate-park" area. In addition to that it has two newer play grounds, one for older kids and one for smaller kids. There an outdoor basketball court and two shooting courts as well as an indoor gym. Along with the huge grass area is a large baseball field that often get converted to a soccer field. The park has a closing time and the facilities may not always be open unless there is actual park staff there but most of the time you can see guys playin basketball til late. Throughout the year the park also plays host to a few events like the Gardena Jazz Night, MLK Parade/Fest, Fourth of July celebration as well as kids soccer, baseball and basketball. This park definitely serves it's purpose and it's be nice to see Gardena throw more money at it as time goes on, each addition has been a benefit to the kids and the community.

    Rowley Park is a great place to walk! It's clean and safe. I walk there 3 to 4 days a week.

    My daughter has practice here. It's well lit and close to home...parking can be a challenge.
