Whaley Park is a busy, lively park across from Cal State Long Beach. If you're looking for a place…read morewhere kids can burn off approximately a million calories, this is it. The playground is modern and well equipped, but the real standout is just how much there is to do. Baseball and softball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball courts, a soccer area, and even a roller hockey practice court? This place does not mess around when it comes to sports. With 13.5 acres to explore, there's plenty of room for families, athletes, and anyone who just wants to get outside. The downside is that weekends can get pretty hectic, with youth sports leagues and birthday parties competing for space. Parking is free, but the lot entrance is surprisingly easy to miss, tucked at a traffic light between Bellflower and Palo Verde. Street parking is another option. Whaley Park has a lot going for it, especially if you have active kids or enjoy a good game of pickup basketball. Just don't expect a quiet, empty park on a Saturday afternoon!

Seems like a good park for older kids, but it's just okay for toddlers…read more Pros: Plenty of parking. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Large grassy areas. Clean. Picnic benches. Interesting play structure with tons of climbing (almost like a mini ropes course) for older kids. Cons: No bathroom. No shade. The playground says it's for ages 2-12, but there's hardly anything there for a 2-3 year old, so you quickly run out of things to do. The toddler play structure is tiny, and the older kids' play structure is inaccessible for toddlers because of all the climbing required to get on it.

The staff are very friendly and try to remind children of the expectations of the playground.

The staff at the entrance is either not catching this or people are changing their shoes once they get inside. Another negative of this playground is that parents aren't watching their kids.
