    Parks come in all shapes and sizes. Some feature playgrounds and athletic courts, while others are more natural with ponds and gardens. Some are simply green meadows which are perfect to dump the body of your annoying neighbor you just murdered... wait what? I'm just kidding, Yelpers! I'm far too smart to just dump a body in a park! South Weddington Park is mostly just a large, green field with massive shady trees, walking paths, and baseball fields reserved for use by the Toluca Baseball League. Expect picnic tables? Sorry, nada. Need a playground for your little ones? Nope, won't find that here either. You will find ample parking though! So, what kind of crappy park is this, you wonder?! I agree that a park consisting mostly of green space/trees and some baseball diamonds may not sound like the best park in the world, but somehow this sleepy little park is perfect for a quiet retreat. Located seconds from Universal Studios and the 101, one would expect annoying car honks and shouts wafting in but the park is actually comparable to a gentle ocean. South Weddington is zen and peaceful and great for the a blanket, picnic basket, and a loved one. I know this because I have done the above mentioned activity. It is also great for a soccer game, game of catch, or Frisbee with the dog. If you DO need a playground and picnic tables, head only .2 miles away to North Weddington Park (you can walk) and you will find some better accommodations. Sometimes we need a no-frills, quiet, peaceful moment to clear our heads. South Weddington is the perfect go-to spot.

    Very cool park, discovered it while waiting for someone to get done with an audition across from NBC Universal. I've driven by 100 times on Lankershim buy youd never know it was there. probably a great gem for the neighborhood homes in the area but if you're in this area it's worth a little time to relax. It's not officially a dog park but I saw a lot of four-legged creatures off the leash so a good place to bring pets if you have them!

    This park is huge and tons of parking on the top park. It's a larger park with shade and grass area. A lot of people bring their dogs or jog around here and it's awesome. There are a lot of holes in the middle of the ground. I'm always afraid it's a ant hill. There is room for dancing here... Especially large groups... Just saying... Flash mob practice! Overall, really nice park. Clean and refreshing. Just don't park in the residential areas.

    Worst Bathrooms ever !

    Don't use the facilities here worst bathrooms ever. If Toluca is going to host tourneys they need to be ready I can't emphasize this enough. Be ready or don't host.

    Perfect little oasis. Great neighborhood park

    Friendly and quiet. Great place for quiet lunch or throw the ball around. There is also a dirt path along the perimeter of the park. Ideal for running laps!

    Great place to walk your dogs with the neighbors. Lots of gopher holes, a bunch of dog-teasing squirrels, too.

    People don't do much reviews on parks. Why? I don't know. I have been to this park 4 times in the…read morepast. I truly like this park very much. It's close to home and offers a lot of activities to do. It has children's playground equipment, 2 basketball courts, 4 BIG, tennis courts, a dirt track, clean bathrooms, picnic area, nice spacious landscape and the most important, it's kept nice and clean. This park is one of my favorite parks in Studio City. They have recreation areas and can let you sign up for sports/classes that interests you. Recently, I had taken few classes with couple of their teachers/coaches and they are WONDERFUL! Earlier this morning I went to play tennis with one of my friends. Tennis is one of my favorite sports to watch and to play. We don't keep score. We just like to play and have fun. You can walk, jug, people walk their dogs, kids, they have picnic areas and do a lot of kids birthday parties.. or you can just simply sit in silence and enjoy nature, the sunlight and have a good, peaceful time. Private lot parking, or street nearby parking. They are closed on Sundays. Kind of weird, but it's their rules, not mine. That's when people usually spend time with their families. I am not going to dock a star for that since it meets all the other amenities & requirements.

    Quaint- Tennis courts, baseball area, and lots of space for a neighborhood park…read more Construction impedes the walking path so as of September 2024 it isn't very relaxing.

A lot of homeless, and weird people are around and staring at you and your children. Be cautious and careful. They usually have some events going on and recently attended a Mother's day type of an event where they sell all types of things. Mostly jewelry, artwork/sculptures and paintings. Some clothes too. The playground is safe for little children and the spongy floor is fun to play on. It is also safe if a child falls and will not hurt themselves. The park is full of squirrels and they can be dangerous at times. Watch out for them and your kids. The park is not well MAINTAINED!! A lot of trash is all around. Last but not least, they have NO BATHROOM! It's a bit of an issue for us and our children. Please, take the time and get some sort of a portable bathroom there. It shouldn't cost that much; and, consider the fact when people need to go, THEY NEED TO GO!!! No parking, and plenty of parking on the side streets. Take yourself and your kids to a better park. The closest park is Woodbridge park. It's a lot nicer, cleaner and more activities to do. Newly renovated too...

Believe it or not, this park is not only for kids. I also love having fun in the sun or during twilight. It has so many different activities to do. I love to get on the swing, even slide on the slides and be a kid and be young at heart. It has a nice grass area with some workout equipment closer to the street. I have worked out in the past on those machines. You can jog, walk, walk your dogs and just chill and relax. I have also done yoga 2 or 3 times in the past. It is pretty big and beautiful. Nature is always beautiful to me. Nice trees, benches to sit and relax and eat a light meal or have a birthday party. I have seen families held birthday parties there so many times. It is a good getaway from home when you want to be alone or take your kids there to play. Plenty of parking on the streets to park your cars and just walk right into the park. Recently they have done a major and nice renovation to the playground and made it more durable and safe for the kids to play in the playground. Upgraded the place, structure and the ground surface. Which is a major PLUS FOR SAFETY!! Love this park and is so close to my house. I can even walk there. Also very CLEAN!! The reason I am giving 4 stars is that it has no bathrooms. I mean most parks have at least 1 or 2 bathrooms. Why doesn't this park have a restroom?? It is so IMPERATIVE to build a bathroom somewhere in the park!!! Where are we supposed to go when mother nature is calling us?? Doesn't matter whether you are a kid or an adult. When you got to go, you got to go. I could have given 3 stars, but since this park brings back a lot of good times and memories, I don't want to duck a star for that. If you build a BATHROOM/RESTROOM, my 4 stars will turn into 5 stars!! Think about the restroom situation and please do something about it.

Six courts and they are all lighted!! -Courts aren't totally trashed. May find abandoned tennis metal lids, leftover snacks, and a trail of ants near the benches but get cleaned at some point. -Useable filtered water fountain that has come in handy during hot days -I've been safe. There are homeless in daytime but they do gather around and prowl at night. On a random night, I played here close to midnight- 2am and I wasn't bothered. Cons: -Super long wait times to get a court -a lot of homeless. I've never been harmed or too bothered. I've had a few flashes of unclothed people. -The ambiance can be a bit whack depending on the type of people around. You've got normal people just wanting to play tennis, old folks that play here all the time and want to coach you, coaches expecting you to leave the court mid-game so they can do their private lessons (which is not allowed because I called the city and coaches need a permit to hold lessons here! Only 1 coach has a permit and he's at the last court, always). Players who yell, cuss, and play explicit loud music on their speaker... -Real world vibe. I've had a few arguments at these courts too which has caused me to not come as much/ call the city. I normally keep to myself and only come here to practice by myself since it's most convenient.

It's a huge park and even has a new baseball field being built. It had a skatepark and a nice playground for them to enjoy. The bad: it is full of homeless people, and the issue has yet to be addressed. They just sleep anywhere in the park, which I get is common at parks, but this park is just crawling with them. The worst part is they openly do drugs in front of people, and not a single thing is done about it. There's a lot of trash everywhere, and I have seen very sketchy people just hanging out around the area. I have my concerns with safety and usually keep my kiddos incredibly close when I take them here. I think the city needs to do a huge cleanup, and if successful, it can be a huge asset to the community. Nonetheless, the recreation center offers a lot for my kids to do, and we do take advantage of it, like today's Easter egg hunt was a blast!

I see a softball field and a large dirt path around the whole center as well as so much grass they might use that for soccer and I see more far away. This is like a gem in the middle of bunch of busy streets! Parking is easy and there are tons of spots but also street parking if you want. I read some other reviews that the clean up isn't great but I'm here today on a Tueaday at 11am and I see zero trash, everything looks really clean so maybe they've improved the maintenance. My only qualm is the trees are far and in between on the side I parked so I wouldn't be able to come on sunny days, I'm very sun sensitive and the trees are few and off the dirt path. There is a shadier side across the way where the kids playground is and that looks nice but I would avoid it with my dog. By the way if you are missing your white metal water bottle, you left it in this beautiful tree here by the parking lot.

Around the track there are various pieces of exercise equipment. Be aware, there are always a ton of dogs. A lot of them off leash. The main reason this place gets four stars though is that there isn't enough parking and the parking there is, is terrible.

You can go for a stroll, ride your bike, take your dog for a walk, use their far end exercise equipment, benches, and there are picnic areas for parties, or simply getting sunshine and eating outdoors. Playground for all, a pool, baseball field and once a month, they have Food Trucks that stop on Magnolia street. They have a beautiful library that has been there for decades. They also hold community events such as fundraising, feeding the homeless, and helping others. It's always a great feeling to give back and do a good deed. Yesterday, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the church that I go to pretty frequently had a community event right after the service. There were probably over 60 people in the park helping out with giving out free food from their hot/ cold containers.Cold & hot beverages such as sodas, water, hot coffee, clothes, chips, cookies, candies, packaged Mac N Cheese, Ramen and a lot more.. I voluntarily contributed my services to help out at the park and do some fundraising for the church. If you have a brain, heart, soul, hands and feet, let's all get together and help out the community.

I enjoy the open space with a huge grass area, plethora of trees, a paved dirt path, and a little hideaway area with a bench located somewhere around the middle of this park. -Doggy Social. A lot of dog activity! Dog walking, dog pooping and scooping, dog frisbee, dog chasing squirrels up trees etc. Great for your dog to socialize. -All purpose park. You can really do anything at this park like host a picnic gathering, play sports, take a stroll etc. -Pretty clean considering the amount of foot traffic and homelessness around. Cons -Certain people interactions. I parked my car in front of the park with a row of cars. It had to be 5 minutes later when I noticed a bigger woman out of nowhere was busy talking on her phone and decided to lay down on top of my car hood like it's a sun bed. I told her I'm moving my car and went ahead to turn on my engine. She then acted surprised talking to me through my windshield saying "This your car?" and talked gibberish and made bizarre facial expressions. She took her business elsewhere but after this, I've been avoidant coming here as often. No danger occurred though on separate occasions I've witnessed shouting matches, a mumbling guy waving around a broken bottle in his hand and had a bloodied head, and homeless shenanigans. -A lot of dog owners have their dogs off-leash. Some distracted and attentive owners. Thankfully I haven't come across any aggressive dogs charging for my dog. I like to visit this park when I want a real-world vibe and need some nature. Though, I can't say I feel totally comfortable with the atmosphere. I like to stick to the dirt path with the other park goers who are exercising and walking their pups just trying to enjoy some down time! I believe there's a fitness equipment area that I'd like to give a go to see if it's comparable to Burbank's fitness parks.
