Rick S.

This is a great park with a very unique play area for kids featuring some really not run of the mill attractions that are fun. It's a very family friendly environment with some shaded areas when it's hot too. The biggest downside is that the parking lot is small (and some of the spaces are either tight or folks drive wide cars but don't know how to park properly).

Ropes course area

This is such a great park for the community! There's a little bit of everything here: a walkway around the park for walkers, kids riding their scooters, learning to ride bikes, shady trees along the side of the park, a grassy area to have a picnic, to have the kids or dogs run around, baby/toddler play area, play area for older kids and a cool ropes course area! We initially wanted to come to this park to try out the built in slide along the hill, however this is now closed. There's a community garden that is positioned in front of the ropes course. Great place to spend the day!

An awesome park! It is unique, beautiful and serial. Lots of cool things for little ones to explore and experience. The only thing I do not love is the parking. It can be extremely hard to find a spot.

This park is so cool! It has a concrete slide the kids can go down that is real fast and fun! They also have a big open field and lots of playground equipment. The best part is their shade. They have bathrooms that they open up as well to the public. Check this park out!

Newly redone play area is now open! 2/2016

The play area has completely been renovated with a buffet of play options: There is a ropes style monkey bar play area. There are water and sand play areas that mimic natural springs. There is a fancy multi-person seesaw / merry go around. There are little green tree tepees for hide and go seek. There are swings, slides, balance bars, etc. Oh and there is the funnest 30 foot concrete slide you'll ever see. We spent a couple of hours here on our first visit! Let's hope all the fancy landscaping lasts a bit longer with all the kids trampling here, there and everywhere. WARNING: Parking is near impossible. There are two tiny lots that fit about 20 cars each and few street parking spaces within a stone throw away. If you have tiny kids in tow, I hope parking karma is on your side else it's going to be a rocky start to the day!

My little one absolutely loves this park. It is a hidden gem. I walk the trail and happen to see this park so I took my son there. He loves playing in the sand area with sand toys that or left for kids to enjoy. He enjoys the swing, slide and other features there but the sand and water is his favorite. There are plenty of kids his age to play and run around with. They also have a huge grass area for lounging and pick necks. You can even watch your kids ride around the grass area on the path. Bring bikes are cars and let then go. Plenty of space. The parking lot is limited and it's in between appartments but it's a cute quaint park.

I stumbled upon this park with my daughter and I'm so glad we did. It's awesome. She had so much fun. We both did actually. Lol. It's different and unique and has equipment you don't see everywhere. Very cool and very spacious.

picnic area with grill

This park has no sign to identify it as South Park....I had to ask a local for the name. She told me the nearby women's groups are trying to raise money for a sign. Awwwww......... It's called South Park because it's at the far south end of Hermosa Beach, duh. Haha! Well I must say this park has more hidden entrances than I ever suspected. I knew about the entrance and parking area on Valley Drive, but today I discovered a second entrance to a small parking area behind the community center: take Loma to the dead end, past 6th, and there you are. And....a third entrance exists....but this one is strictly a foot path. Park on Monterey & walk half a block down Fourth to the walking path entrance. It's really nice that the park has easy access from all sides, considering this is a heavily-populated neighborhood just a couple blocks from the beach. There's a nice big community center with bathrooms, and, late this afternoon there were after-school child care programs in progress. The kids were enjoying this beautiful day in the playground area. Throughout the park there are several picnic areas with grills, located off the foot path that circles the large grassy area. That grassy field would be perfect for football or soccer. In fact there was a man giving soccer lessons to a kid today. No golfing or dogs off leash, however. So....I saved the best for last: The park is home to an inline roller hockey rink. I don't think I ever saw one before. Crikey, they play hockey on roller blades! I'd pay to see that. In the Midwest we played hockey on ice, but hey.... compromises must be made in order to live in SoCal paradise! The rink is even used for league matches. It has a scoreboard and even some little bleachers. Truthfully, I had to ask the guy giving the soccer lesson just what the hell that strange-looking rink was used for...... hahaha.... Parking was not easy, btw. The two parking lots are small, and were full. That's how I discovered the secret back entrance off Monterey..... What would you all do without me..... I posted 14 photos.

The cleanest, quietest, greenest park in the area! Brand new equipment and VERY toddler-friendly!!!! I can't believe we haven't checked this park out sooner. The absolute only negative thing I could say is that the concrete slides are potentially very dangerous but there is a rule posted at the top that kids must be 5 or older to slide. We loved it here!! Honestly can't wait to take our daughter back here

The new school merry go around
Kat M.

This is a great park for children 5 and under! Everything is brand new and quite safe. The giant concrete slide is the only thing that made me nervous. It is super fun, but the kids have to climb a lot of stairs with no railings to get to the top. (There is also a long way to get to the top with no stairs). My son especially loved the 4 person teeter totter, the merry go around (nothing like we had when I was young-this one is obscenely safe), and the giant concrete slide. The park also features a ropes course, a water element for the sand, a digger, a tiny play structure with one rolling pin slide, and swings. There is a HUGE lawn for the kids to run around. The only thing missing is shade. It is very hot. The park is going to be very beautiful once the shrubs and the community garden grow in. This is a very lovely park! Parking is very limited.

My daughters really enjoyed their time here. This park has a unique playground area with some shades for sun, also it is clean and the people there are friendly.

This park is a favorite of our boys. So much to do, including the cement slide races. Parking can be a hassle, but that's the beach.

We USED to love Seaview Park. My firstborn learned how to walk here, pushing a little wooden push…read moretoy someone was nice enough to 'donate' to the park's collection of toys. What's good about this park is that it is 100% enclosed by a chicken wire fence. Or at least it used to. There is now a 2'x2' whole in a side of the fence that is facing Prospect Ave. Another good thing about this park is that there are always toys for young kids to play with. The unspoken agreement is that you bring your old toys here for others to enjoy. No taking them home, please! There is also a water spout for the water table / sand pit. This can be a pro and con as some kids use this as a tool of mass terror. What I dislike most about this park is that it's become bad nanny squatter central. I don't mind that these nannies bring lawn chairs and cover the entire north side of the park, gossiping loudly for hours - it's a public park for everyone to enjoy. I DO MIND TERRIBLY that they do not look after those in their care, they litter and they don't pick up afterwards. They leave small pieces of trash (plastic covers of juice box straws, water bottle tops, yogurt tops) that get stuck in the grass. Of course, my little one sees it, picks it up and puts it in his mouth. Those lazy bad nannies! #$&%@#!!! A friend said they saw a nanny peeing behind a bush. There are no bathrooms here and certainly no areas where you can afford to have a puddle without a kid eventually stepping in it. Totally revolting! YUCK!!! What a way to ruin a local gem. We now come here once on a blue moon now, even though we live just blocks away. That and I'll never look at a nanny the same way...

Sea View Park has no sea view, haha. The hedges are so high, it would be impossible even if it was…read morean otherwise unobstructed vantage point (see photo). The hedges block out the view of Prospect Ave. too, and the street noise...a good thing. It insures that the little space is quiet and secluded. I never knew it was there, actually, until I found it by accident. It gets better: the park is a pesticide free zone. Good, 'cause all there is inside the fenced area is a kids playground. No potty, no nothin' 'cept that, and a grassy space, and some big beautiful trees. Oh, and a small picnic area with one bar-b-q. It's quite nice for a neighborhood park. On Saturday there was only one visitor when I was there, a woman reading a book. 6 photos
