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!

PS- I hate the new camera tower at the skatepark, but, Man, if it didn't solve their graffiti problem.

Recently visited this park for my son's swim meet. The park is rather large, located between a…read morebusy commercial area and a neighborhood. The park facilities include athletic fields, picnic facilities, a playground, and various courts for small ball games. Some city buildings also call the park home, part of the complex that includes the swimming pool/YMCA facility. During my visit, the whole southern part of the park was fenced-off near the elementary school for some kind of construction project or maybe just equipment storage? Location near busy Bellflower Blvd. and Rosecrans makes at least part of this park a little scary with the speeding cars and interesting visitors. I happened upon the remnants of a candlelight vigil held for a fallen comrade, complete with RIP written in dripped wax on a picnic table. Nevermind that dripping wax on a picnic table in a public park is a real classy move, but condolences to the family and friends of the fallen. Still, a nice wide open green space with plenty of shade trees if you want em. Anyway, I don't come here a lot, and don't live close to here, so no harm no foul. Occasionally sit here under a big shade structure waiting for my kid's swim events, and then put this place in the rearview.

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.
