    Sand dune.

    Excellent location. Sand dune park is a destination for professional athletes, seniors, and families. Exercise in the healthy beach air, or watch your children play in the dune.

    Seen these beautiful flowers on the way to the beach.

    great workout before the rain starts. My friend Daniella first time here and she did a great job it! Can't wait to come back,

    View from the stairs.

    The park itself is awesome. It's a great workout for kids and adults alike, however the attendant was extremely rude. It's my first time making a reservation and paying the $3 fee. I went up to the attendant and he acted extremely entitled. He laughed at me because I didn't know every single rule they had. It's such a shame because the park is so wonderful. It's obvious they (city or the closest residents) want to keep people who do not live in Manhattan beach away from the park.

    Nice place to workout! Sand Dune Park is located in Manhattan Beach city. The sand hill requires each person to pay $1 before hand online. Too many neighbors complained about the number of people so this limits the number of visitors. The sand hill was challenging and worth a dollar. I haven't ran up it in years but I remember how brutal it was. Next to sand dune hill are stairs which people walk up and down. It's a nice alternative workout for a nice leg workout.

    Went here for the first time this morning and I'm not gonna lie, I barely made it. It's a very VERY intense workout. It's way steeper than it looks like. It feels like you're climbing upwards toward hell but I'm happy I went. I'm expecting huge results on the scale tomorrow morning...yes it was that intense lol jk jk. Make sure you make your appointment online before you go because you have to sign in with your reservation number. It's a stupid system and though this was the first time I worked out here, it was my 3rd attempt. They really should reconsider this system. MAKE SURE YOU BRING SOCKS!!! DO NOT GO BAREFOOT!! I saw a lot of people go without shoes on so I took mine off. The sand was really hot and painful. Even if the heat wasn't a problem, the sand is not smooth. There's a bunch of sea shells and rocks in there so again, it can get painful. Overall, it's a great place. Great crowd. People will encourage you to push harder. I will be back!!!

    Last week I came here on my lunch break, I was craving a stairs workout. Before I made it here I was a little discouraged at the other Yelpers complaining about making some kind of appointment, but I tried to brush that off and came by anyway. I found parking without a hassle and it was not metered. I quickly realized all the complaints were all about the sand dune that was being policed by two young park employees. I walked past them and found the glorious set of stairs. I climbed up quickly and all the the other stair workout enthusiasts were very cordial and we all happily climbed up and down. I made my way down so ecstatic about finding an easily accessible outdoor stair workout. I will be back Sand Dune park!! Thanks for the sore legs!!!!!

    The sand has trash and broken glass in it. This place needs to get cleaned up, it's a health hazard

    Since I had read reviews on yelp and the park website, we took flip flops and then barefoot on the hill.

Whether it be hitting dingers in my Little…read moreLeague Baseball League, playing pick up basketball as a kid against grown men, taking tennis lessons (I was trash at tennis), or running around here in middle school with my group of friends, Live Oak has been instrumental in my growth as a man. Most recently, it's been here for me when I come back from NYC and just want to get some shots up alone. Nothing as cathartic as grabbing the new basketball my Granny just got me, popping my airpods in, and doing the basketball workouts I used to do as a kid when hoop dreams were all I cared about. Something about reconnecting with that part of myself just eases the stresses that come with adulthood. I think that chubby insecure kid would be proud of who I am today, and that makes me smile. It's good to look back at your past and appreciate who you've become... But don't stare at it, or you'll end up staying there. Look back, smile, and keep pushing forward. I also randomly seen Kendrick Lamar doing a prison workout here a few years back. That was a trip lol. THANK YOU LIVE OAK! THANK YOU GRANNY I LOVE THIS NEW BASKETBALL! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

No homeless or trouble makers lurking around here because Manhattan Beach also have a wonderful Police Station as well not far by. I like this park when coming to the South Bay.

    EXCELLENT little park!…read more we had Sofia's birthday picnic here. had to put down a $200 check deposit to secure 2 tables and a bbq pit. front and center location was where they put us. good shaded area for this warm and sunny day. the tables were slightly on the smaller side, well, for a family of filipinos and mexicans at least. the bbq was the traditional park type. off the ground and large metal grates. the area we reserved and the area around was immaculately clean. grass was trimmed nicely as well. the slopes that are typical with my little town were negligible where our spot was. further out on the fringes, you can notice them. the park has it's own private parking lot which makes it very convenient. there is a "kiddie" pool on site that was very popular on this sunny warm day. the deep end was 3ft and the low end was 2.5ft. awesome for the little ones. well, not mine since we werent' dressed for it. overall, we're looking forward to coming back to hang out here and have another picnic. maybe not as grand of a scale as a birthday party, but, a little bbq and some sun. also, we'd love to come back and have the kids check out the pool. we should get some use out of our $10 recreation card!

It does have a nice kiddie pool, playground and shaded tables with adjacent street parking. Above average cute little park. I subtract a star for the men's toilet being locked midday and the lack of character/ambience. Recommended especially for parents with kids.
