Fun for the kids to play during summer break ! Just wish they had more shade around the playground.

never knew this park had a kiddie pool!! It's also right down the street  M-F from 12-3

Cute little park I just hate how there's no shade!! I literally paked me a bed on the go just to relax since I work nights and here I am leaving a review on a dirty hard bench anyways, love the kiddie pool and their hours. Now I can bring my little one here. Happy yelping!

Chilling by the bench

I guess I felt like the City of Downey could take care of it a bit better... like they have with other parks. Maybe repaint the activity building and all the other drab, sun-beaten blueness. Add a mural or art in public places? Xeriscaping along the walking path? The playground equipment is sectioned into two parts: 2-12 years of age and 5-12 years of age. The equipment itself was sturdy and seemed well-maintained. There is a youth baseball field. A basketball court. A walking path, but I didn't see much info about it (distance, etc.). Barbeque pits. Benches. Picnic tables. Even an activity building with a kitchen, a handball court, and I assume a restroom, although, I didn't see one. Some of these are available to reserve if you're a Downey resident. Simon R. commented that he "would not let my fam here alone after dark." True. That's one reason I knocked off a star. I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the park and all the wonderful shade trees. Review #362 Yelp challenge 2015 43/100

Ideal for cardio, walking, or running, this park features a well-maintained runner's track in the…read morecenter and a designated walking area along the outskirts. The runner's track is clear of debris and exclusively for runners, as indicated by signs. Parking is limited in the designated area, prompting some visitors to park on shaded streets nearby. While there are no public restrooms, two porta-potties are available. Throughout the park, you'll find numerous workout machines, conveniently located, including those near the porta-potties. With multiple entrances, this park is easily accessible, and due to its proximity to a residential area, you might encounter a cat or two. It's worth noting that during my visit, I observed a homeless man sleeping inside the park. Despite this, the park is generally well-kept, although there is an issue with feces in certain areas. On a positive note, there's a Little Free Library near the parking lot, promoting the sharing of books provided by a nonprofit. Operating hours are from 7 AM to 8 PM, ensuring a peaceful environment. Personally, I find the park enjoyable, especially for exercise, though the experience may vary depending on the time and day of your visit. OH and there is a volleyball court sitting on top of sand.

This is a really nice community park. The track was just repaved (10/21). Outside of the track…read morethere is a volleyball area with a sand pit, a workout zone with plenty of machines, and beautiful landscaping throughout. This is one of Paramount's hidden gems. The only downside I have to mention is that recreational football and soccer teams frequently visit for practice, which the park is not set up for. It's quite small and should not be utilized as a sport practice meet up. This is what deters me from visiting more frequently. Parking fills up, balls are flying every which way, and it can get quite noisy. Not my ideal setting for some relaxing cardio. I still recommend this park, as the city of Paramount takes great care and it is regularly maintained nice and clean.
