Cool Community Center literally hidden in Venice meet Marina Del Rey on Princeton Drive…read more Primal Moves offers a wellness space focused around healthy practices and daily movement. We got to check out their bulletin board, loft area and incredible layout while a group of people were warming up, stretching and yoga-ing out. Complimentary high quality water to try, spaces for personal belonging and a great coffee cafe cart (Cherish), in the front half of this stellar space. They have daily "Moves" classes with 30 minutes of movement followed by body rotations and some pole work. Restrooms are well kept, much like the entirety of their space. They have a handwritten chalk board calendar as well with lot of updates and happenings. Parking isn't the most ideal directly in the lot or the area, but semi central to a lot near the marina and beach areas. Full space rentals for a flat rate and minimum of 4hrs. Cool community events happen here as well like their Pre Burn Bazaar ( $10 entry or bring clothes to trade). Open from 630AM til 8pm during the week, reduced hours on weekends.

I accidentally fell in love with this place…read more I took 17 classes during my 2 week intro because every class left me feeling stronger, happier, and wanting to come back. The coaches are fantastic, the community is welcoming, and I've learned movement skills I never thought I'd be able to do. Just try it. You'll get it.

Such a great park and you can do so much here it's such a big park. From picnics, play area with…read morekids and they have a bigger play structure for older kids and also toddlers' area. The swings are great as well and not broken usually they are broken or just not able to use them. Love that there are so many big tree's and makes it nice for having lunch or even small gatherings and so fourth. We came here for a Music class and made it so enjoyable for our blanket and under a tree. We later played and loved that they have sand throughout the whole play area (bring your sand toys). All the structures are well taken care of and clean appreciate that. There are basketball courts and a pool as well it was empty but seems for summer they open for the public and residents. Over all we'd come back for sure it's 10 min from our home and we enjoyed coming here & glad the bathroom are close by cause when you have kiddos you need them close by. Parking was great as well plenty of parking and also street parking as well.

Veteran outreach today I attended a CalFresh event for LA county Dept of Social Services…read more The event is open to all addressing food insecurity and inequity in LA households. The event was held on the basketball courts. Beautiful park lots of families in the sandbox. Tai chi class on the grassy area. Baseball diamond being utilized as well. I saw a public pool but it doesn't look open at this tome. Clean restrooms, plenty of parking.

I had the most pleasant Saturday morning and afternoon here!! I did arrive around 9:30 and there…read morewere only three parking spots left so definitely plan for that. But the bathrooms are clean! And the pool was so nice. Most of the kids stayed in the shallow end so it was really peaceful to read near the deep in and take a dip. 10$ for an all day pass, pretty hard to beat.

Somehow have never heard of this before last week and now, I wouldn't want to go to the beach…read moreanywhere else in the Santa Monica area! We got there about an hour after they opened on a hot, sunny Sunday, and the parking lot was already pretty full, so I would recommend getting there on the earlier side. Parking was $15 for the entire day. We rented a canopy for 4 hours for $60. They are permanently set up pretty far from the shore, but it was really nice to have a big, shaded area for an affordable price (though I think the advertised capacity of 30 people would be pretty tight). Though the pool would've normally been closed for the season, it was super hot, so they did a pop-up day. Passes are very reasonably priced -- $10 for adults, $4 for kids under 17, $5-$7 for seniors (NOTE: You must have your entire party with you when you buy wristbands--you cannot buy them for someone not present). The pool was pretty full for the time we were there, but there was still plenty of room for the kids to play. There were also plenty of lounge chairs around. There's also a little restaurant that's basically right on the beach. Prices trend on the higher side for the fare that's offered, but it's not outrageous. All of the facilities and the stretch of beach were super clean and well organized, and the staff was very kind and accommodating.

The good: Parking is easy here. There were many beautiful…read moreblooming trees with pink flowers. There was a soccer field with great modern turf. There's a sand area but most of the playground has the bouncy ground. There are picnic tables and benches. The park is really spacious with a wide range of playground equipment made for wheelchairs and with disabilities. It has a toddler area tactile and musical playground equipment. There's a zip line. There's a lot of shaded areas. There's a boat, space ship, tunnel, slides, rolling metal slide, balance beams shaped like balls, and so much more. It's a super inclusive playground with a diverse group of patrons as well. The bad: The parking lot had some cars that looked like people were living out of their car. There was a pee stench at the entrance. Toward the toddler area there was a guy smoking weed. The interesting: It has a LA theme with references to the observatory, freeway and more.

It's ok when there's enough lanes, otherwise not a great experience…read more Most of the swimmers here tend to be on the older side, or just very slow/beginners. This makes it frustrating when it's crowded, and there are designated lanes for medium-fast swimmers, but they're taken up by slow/beginner swimmers. Had to wait around for 10 minutes until there was space. Needs to be a better of way of controlling/managing the lanes so that different swim levels can swim without the pool being completely overrun by slow swimmers, making it harder for other levels to enjoy the pool space.
