    Large grass area
    Jordan H.

    What a great find! There aren't a lot of "nice" new parks in Stanton/Garden Grove, but this is one of them. The grass area is quite big and there is a nice paved trail that goes around the entire park (I'm thinking it is about half a mile long). Along the trail there are exercise stations that all seem to be in good condition. The children's playground area is sizable. There are also a lot of picnic tables with shade, as well as a community center, skatepark, tennis courts, and two half-court basketball courts. Overall the park seemed very well-kept, clean, and most importantly, safe! (Didn't see any suspicious activity or homeless -- I would feel comfortable brining my kids here or coming alone.) When I went, there were a lot of young families and a few dog walkers. It was pretty mellow. There are public restrooms. Plenty of parking and there are also two ChargePoint EV chargers for $0.20/kwh. FYI - when you pull into the park, there is only one way in/out, so make sure you don't miss the entrance, otherwise you have to loop back around.

    Beautiful park. There's definitely something for everyone. There's lots of parking, charging stations, and an extra parking lot. There's a skate park, picnic tables, young child playground and a bigger kid playground. In the hot times, there's a splash pad. There's a huge grassy field, rope climbing, swings, zip liner etc. This park was made to perfection. It's a beautiful addition to the city. There's even vending machines to grab some snacks from. The only down side to all of this is that because the park is so great, it's always tremendously crowded. But if you don't mind huge crowds, give it a try.

    Skatepark opens at 9 am. Don't drive here early. You will not be able to enter until it is unlocked unless you hop fence.

    so cool!

    we went to this park for memorial day celebration and it was such a big hit. They have big gazebos with a ton of benches for parties and barbecue and everything and they even have the plugs but you have to reserve and I think you might have to pay to actually use them cause of some liability or something Overall, this park is super fun and very fun for all ages it was such a beautiful day. It was perfect. They have workout stuff on the side walk. They have a splash pad. They have this huge park field of grass that you could do so many games like soccer or kickball flying a kite like we did it was just really awesome. definitely will be coming back here if we are in the area and maybe possibly make a tradition out of it ! totally recommend this park!

    Splash pad
    Lisa P.

    This park is the best. It's clean, parking is easy. Lots of picnic tables. The playground is big, with lots of structures for kids to explore at any age and any skill level. The splash pad is like a whole little water park. Def worth the drive, wherever you're coming from. The rest of the park looks great, too, like the skate area or the basketball courts. It has a fun train station theme and is very close to the tracks, too, which is extra fun for train loving kiddos.

    The play area

    This park/community center is really cool with lots to offer. Four different kid play areas, 1) large jungle gym with swings, 2) small kids jungle gym, 3) rope/rock play climbing area, and 4) what seems to be a splash area (wasn't on when we went, so not sure when it's turned on). There is a large field with walking path with tables and benches on the back side; some tables have checker/chess table tops. The field is set up for softball or baseball, however you could probably have other sports too. A cute little work out area at the back of the park. There are pavilion areas for parties. Then top it all off with a skate park. The park and play areas are also really well maintained. Based on the happiness level of all the kids running around, this place is a hit. My son is having tons of fun.

    Fabulous park with lots to offer - something for everyone. Skate area, tennis, baseball, basketball, splash pad, kids playground, vending machines and a community center. Small parking lot though. Come give it a try.

    We loved going to this park! There are big playgrounds, workout machines/gym section, and tennis courts! There's lots of tables your party can seat, and there's plenty of parking too. Honestly, one of the best maintained, cleanest, and full of activity option parks I've seen in a while. We'll definitely be back!

    This place is incredible. Plenty of space for kids to run and play. Structures are fun and challenging. Looks like a nice community. People were friendly and engaging.

    This park is super cute. They have the big play area and two small areas for the little kids. They also have a big field. If I'm ever back in town, I would stop by again.

    Little train slide

    GREAT PLAYGROUND! Equipment seems well maintained. Lots of shady seating. Clean bathrooms. There's a splash zone too

    Climbing rope play area
    Brooke C.

    I loved this park. So many different types of play here. Much more to do than other parks I've been to. They have a mini playground for toddlers I've never seen a mini jungle gym. They have a splash area I'm not sure when the water turns on but I'm sure it's soon.

    The playground
    Mohammad K.

    Great skatepark and park! Lots of memories. Me and my brother, and friends go here. The skatepark is really nice and fun. However there could be some upgrades (I'd personally recommend beginner size ramped for beginners who skateboard and use their scooter would be really fun. Also adding ground rails since some of us can't jump that good. The skatepark could use some paint jobs and overall I would swap the concrete with wood so it looks nicer. There is kinda some graffiti on the concrete but it's really small and fades away. Now, back to the park, the park is really nice and has a train design. Inside the train are 2 slides, a long yellow one and a small one. Here's the thing in the Long yellow slide kids like to go up it, and you can't tell if they're in there which leads to them hitting each other. (Had this problem) the park has a nice baseball area and grass area however the kids at the park can be annoying since they're born in like 2017. The park also has these nets which can be fun to get across while doing parkour and just balancing. Also, the park has a... well it's hard to say but imagine a circle wooden area with 4 ropes hanging on. Like a tire rope u can push with it to. It even has a WATERPARK there, unfortunately that's where the rude kids come in they will ask you to do something like sit down in the water and if you don't they curse you out and make up lies to here brother/sister to annoy you, I had this exact problem with my ex best friend. The park has 2 exercise areas which are kinda small but nice. It even has 4 pickleball/tennis courts there too, it even has a basketball area with 2 courts (half courts) but they are double rim which is annoying. Again the skatepark is nice but can have injury's if you don't know what you're doing. OVERALL THIS PARK IS THE BEST!!

    Swing very sturdy and durable.

    See all

    It is a nice clean park with a skate park and a nice area for walking around the whole perimeter of the park. It's very enjoyable there.

There were so many teenagers around the park when I visited, and it made the whole space feel even more lively because you could see them hanging out on the grass, walking around the paths, and using the open areas to take pictures or just relax together. I didn't expect a park to have that kind of youthful energy, but the way the trees, the open fields, and the little activity spots all come together makes it feel like a place where teenagers can be themselves without feeling rushed or watched. I appreciated how easy it was to walk around and enjoy everything without any pressure, and it reminded me of how much I enjoy places that let me feel playful and relaxed at the same time. I only visited Veterans Park a lot of times in my life before making this review, but it left a strong impression on me because of how peaceful and fun it felt, especially with all the teenagers enjoying their time there. It's one of the most enjoyable and welcoming parks I've been to in a long time, and I would highly recommend that teenagers go there because it gives them a safe and open place to hang out, take pictures, and feel creative in their own way.
