This is our third time renting out this space and the past workers were nice and helpful…read more But the two ladies working tonight were so rude. One was okay but the other clearly hates her job. How can you work at a community center and not like people ?!?!? Doesn't make much sense. Also , if you expect people to clean up after themselves , it would be nice to provide proper equipment. They expect us to clean a room that can host 100 people with a small broom and scooper. No vacuum.

I have two words for the people we dealt with trying to rent a venue for a family gathering:…read more Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! We originally rented the Center for Founders Village. We paid a deposit and agreed to hire security guards bc we wanted to serve alcohol. More than a month later, Ben calls from the city saying there has been a double booking. We have to change our date, time or venue. Ben provided no evidence that the other group signed a contract before us. We took the high road after FV Rec Center was offered at a discount. We inspected the space and found it to be workable, although not on par with the original space. A couple of days after we agreed to change the space, Ben calls back and says we have to change again. Apparently there is a party scheduled in the adjacent room at FV Rec Center, and it's for teenagers. They did not want us serving alcohol next to teenagers. Again, Ben provided no evidence that the other group signed their contract before ours, which means the teenager party should find another space, not us. We can't change the date, bc several people of the 135 expected are flying in from out of town. We ended up renting space in Santa Ana, bc FV mysteriously didn't want our biz. This is after we rented the Founders space before, and mija has volunteered for the elderly at the center. Everyone we dealt with at the dept that handles renting space is incompetent and a liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What likely happened is that another party with pull wanted the Founders space, and we got trounced. Then you offer us space we can't have bc of the alcohol matter, when you knew we wanted to serve alcohol. Don't do biz with FV unless you want to get lied to. I am talking to my lawyer about suing the city.

Parking: 5/5 There are a lot of parking spaces near the batting cages. I went on a Friday around…read more3-4 PM, so there weren't that many people. Signs say to pay the parking meter so that it can generate a ticket to place on your dashboard. Parking cost about $1 to park till 10 PM. Activity: 5/5 Would highly recommend it to those that want to try for a cute date, hang out with friends, or for stress relief. There were couples, friends or even little kids that came with their parents to practice swinging the bat. Currently, they go by a loyalty system to borrow bat and helmet if you did not bring your own. I would recommend bringing CASH, and if you're just hitting for fun, $5 is definitely enough to hit between two people that have never held a baseball bat in their life. Service: 5/5 The guys at the stand are so helpful in answering and giving us a quick rundown on how the batting cages work. I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area again!

We been here a few times and all I can think of is... I wish this place was nicer, cleaner…read moreThe trash cans are always full, restrooms dirty! There's this weird walkway to the left to get to next fields that just leaves you scratching your head. Be prepared to walk through a crowd watching their children play. You can also circle to right! Snack bar under a canopy with a few food trucks. On the other side of complex is where most soccer is played with porter potties available.

Amazing nature trails...pick your distance (1/4 mile paved for strollers or 1 & 2 mile dirt trails)…read morewith easy access from Spring Street in Long Beach. Plenty of parking though the lot does fill up in the morning, with some overflow parking on the right side of the main entrance. Great place for families with a visitor center in the island at the entrance which has clean restrooms and several interactive displays which kids will love. There's also a live corn snake in a glass case with plenty of wildlife along the trails outside.

The Nature Center trails are one of my favorite spots for an easy peaceful walk. I come here about…read moreonce a week with my elderly family member and it's always a nice change of pace. The trails are clean, mostly shaded and easy to follow. There's a short 1/4-mile loop if you just want a quick stroll, plus a 1-mile loop that can turn into about a 2-mile walk if you keep going and loop back around. There is one incline area, but it's short and not too bad. Plenty of benches are scattered throughout too, which makes it great for slower walks or taking breaks. The park itself has a really pleasant nature feel. You'll see squirrels, turtles, birds and other little wildlife moments along the way. The turtle dock is always fun to spot and the shaded paths make the whole walk feel relaxing instead of draining. Most people on the trails are friendly too, so the vibe is usually calm and welcoming. The Nature Center trails themselves are free if you walk or bike in, but there is a vehicle fee if you park in the Nature Center/East Regional Park lot. Parking is currently $6 on weekdays, $7 on Fridays, $8 on weekends and $9 on holidays. The entry booth is cashless, so bring a card or use a digital payment option. Parking can look packed at times, but I've always been able to find a spot. They also offer annual parking passes, including discounted ones for seniors 50+, disabled visitors and veterans, so it's worth asking at the Nature Center Visitors Center if you plan to come often. The office area has restrooms and some nice little nature/informational displays, which is a cool bonus if you're there with family or just want to look around. There's also El Dorado Park West across the street, which I've checked out a few times and didn't have to pay for parking on that side. It's a separate park area with sports fields, picnic areas, playgrounds, basketball, tennis and a skate park. I haven't explored every part of it, but it's good to know about if you're already in the area or want a free nearby option. Overall, I'd definitely recommend El Dorado Park if you want a clean, shaded and relaxing place to walk. It's peaceful, accessible and has enough nature charm to make a simple walk feel like a tiny reset.
