Everything was wonderful and the staff were very nice and helpful. The only thing that was a little uncomfortable was that there were many homeless people close to the playground, but I think we probably just came at a bad time and it's not always like that. Overall, the park is amazing. Thank you!

We were there in the early mid-morning and listened to a talk about the watershed preservation. I was impressed with how clean everything was and most especially the restroom. They were super clean, well maintained, and well lit. Me and my daughter felt safe. I was surprised to note that when we returned later in the day that there is an attendant available to answer questions or provide support. This place is a winner in my book.

The park is clean and usually busy with people at the benches, laying out or just walking.

I went to Joslyn Park for my little friend Felix K.-L.'s 3rd birthday the other week. It was a nice…read morepark, a great place to spend a couple easy Saturday hours with the kids. Parking was a breeze. The park has an indoor room you can reserve if you plan far enough ahead, but the outdoor tables are first come first served. Felix's parents claimed a couple tables and brought two of their own, creating a sizable shady party space right next to the playground. I think the whole area was surrounded by a fence, so none of the pre-school age children could easily wander off. My boys had a blast playing in the sand and on the cute structure. There was also a little set-up for puppet shows, and all the kids kept going over there and pretending to buy and sell ice cream. I live too far from Santa Monica to make much use of Joslyn Park, but I know a good park when I see one. I'd recommend this place if you have young children, whether for party time or just a relaxing hour of play.

The park was fantastic, pristine and spacious with a top tier playground. Felix's parents claimed a prime seating area right outside the playground, where we could eat and socialize while keeping an eye on our various kids. The set-up felt very safe and easy. I admit to losing track of my five-year-old for long stretches at a time, and once finding him in a piece of playground equipment with a group of children he didn't know, giggling as two of their dads spun them around and around. My two-year-old spent a lot of time in the sand with several toddler friends, pouring sand into a play table and also all up in their clothes. We brought our elderly basset hound Duke in a mobility stroller, and he got lots of attention, too. It was a nice outing for our whole family. I also couldn't help but notice that the park was right next to the Santa Monica Airport and other airplane-themed entertainment. We live pretty far from Marine Park, but I have a feeling we'll be back.

The other is the intermittent noise from planes taking off and landing in adjacent Santa Monica Airport (which thankfully is closing in coming years.) unfortunately there aren't many food options nearby so you have to bring your own. Otherwise, it's a great spot.

It's right next to the public library as well and there's a good amount of benches to lounge on. My doggie and I enjoyed relaxing on our blanket on the grass and enjoy the fresh air outside.
