Verdugo Park - Parks Near Me - Glendale, California

As we all know every now and then it is essential to be in the arms of nature. Being 4th of July, my son and I decided to go to Verdugo Park and celebrate the Independence Day! So we bought a small grill and went. I haven't been to this beautiful park in probably over 20 years. Why? I don't know. It just happened that way. After carefully circulating the park, we found this nice, corner with lots of picnic tables and benches. It was going to be just us two. We ran into this wonderful, newlywed couple and said hello and wished them Happy 4th. One small conversation led to another and they invited us to join them and have lunch with them. So that was a nice change. They ended up being so social that we forgot that we needed to start our bbq. With that being said, her husband and my son combined both of our foods together and after a lovely meal, music, and conversation we exchanged phone numbers and decided to keep in touch! This is where you say, sometimes people meet by accident. Let fate decide... This park from what I remembered is HUGE, I MEAN HUGE!!! The weather was PERFECT! Sunny skies and so SERENE...in every way. I was kind of surprised that not a lot of people were at the park especially being 4th of July and barbecuing etc... I guess Pandemic shut a lot of people down. In a way it was nice. If you are a person like me; and love trees, grass, greenery, then this is definitely the park for you! There are so many Sycamore trees that one can't count. It is just so beautiful and relaxing. Park is clean with so many trash cans around and I didn't even see any litter anywhere in the park. Some of the amenities that needs to be mentioned are: bathrooms (somewhat clean),skate park, their own bbq grills, baseball field, basketball court, plenty of parking spaces everywhere, children's playground, plenty of picnic tables/benches, walking/hiking trails, and the rest you have to go there and experience the FUN for yourself.:-)) The only thing that was missing was the FIREWORKS! We stayed there until 9:30pm & unfortunately no fireworks:-(( Hopefully, before summer ends we will go back there, and either bbq again, or take some food from home, or just simply go there and be in the arms of nature, relax and find PEACE! Took few pictures and I will post them soon. read more

Verdugo Park is beautiful. Me and my girl have been here a few times , picnicking and doing our own thing. We do not know anyone in this area, so she bring her girlfriends from Orange County with us, and we do our own little picnic parties sometimes. Family place with lots of children and adult people. Its a park for jogging and a little bit of sports activities too. Love another chance to visit, but we live so far away. read more

Although I love going to this park it lacks a lot for older kids. We also do skate lessons here and they don't always follow through. The basketball camp here got canceled and we weren't informed. It was rough but the park is gorgeous! read more

I love parks. I spend time in parks with my dog, walking, meandering, having picnics, and watching birds. Serenity and peace are hard to find in a fast place like L.A., and parks provide respite. Verdugo Park is large and spread out. I enjoy the way it has a playground, a basketball court, well kept grounds and facilities, yet still feels wild and wooly and and as though you're in the woods. The sycamore trees are stunning. The birds are in their element. The sky and sun and shade are harmonious. Hushed, undisturbed, soothing, at peace. I love the feeling of parks. read more

Verdugo Park - Beauty - Parks Near Me - Glendale, California

Verdugo Park is a really large, spacious park with plenty of room for activities. Depending on where you are located in the park, you can either park in a lot or nearby on the street. It can get busy on the weekends but, due to the size of the park, you never feel stuck in a crowd. You can see kids running around, playing soccer and other sports with their parents and other children. It's a beautiful setting and a nice park to get out and enjoy some sunlight in if you live nearby. read more

I had a great time doing a photoshoot here. Came on a Friday morning. Beautiful park, hiking, baseball field, picnic tables, basketball, skatepark, playground, they have it all. Don't forget your sunscreen, I got sunburnt. Thank you Verdugo Park. I will be back. read more

If you like sycamore trees like me you will love this park. This is the perfect place to walk your dog on a warm summer day because there are plenty of mature trees. It is also one of the largest parks in Glendale along with Crescenta Valley Park. There is a skate park, baseball field, little kids area, bathroom and plenty of places to park. It's really close to Glendale Community College as well. read more

Verdugo Park - Picnic Tables - Parks Near Me - Glendale, California

It's always a joy sitting here for some fresh air or having a lunch date with friends and family in the open space. You'll usually see a bunch of friends and family barbecuing, kids playing and people laughing and talking. The benches aren't the cleanest, but it's still one of the nicer parks we've frequented. PARKING Available throughout the park, the lot across the street, or residential parking on the side streets read more

Very opened park Nice scenery and Good for family get togethers. Big Grass Area For Outdoor Activities read more

I used to come here a lot back in the days when I was going to Glendale Community College across the street.... I remember back in high school when the carnival took place here... Damn, I hated The Zipper ride... I came back here recently because of my friends daughter's birthday party.. The park changed a lot since then... They placed a children's playground with sand boxes right beside the basketball court, a skate park for all your skaters out there, added more benches to throw a party in the park... Lots of improvements to road and pavement constructions.. They still have the baseball field on the other side, small trail for hiker fanatics, and the soccer field... Lots of dog lovers walk their best friend along the area to play catch.. Plenty of parking for many visitors.. Be careful if you visit here in the evening other than doing power walks or running, there's a lot of cops strolling by to site you and will kick you out.. . If I still lived in Glendale, my dogs would love to chase squirrels here... read more

This is a very cool little park and a perfect spot to "get away" for a few without having to go way out of the city. Great for kids with its playgrounds and sand. Good for dogs to run around and do their business in. Superb for skaters as they offer a full blown skate park all the way at the end of the park to the left. Or, just nice enough for a late night stroll with your SO. From what I have been told, this park has been here a long time and changed some over the years. But the size of this park is perfect for a jog, walk, run with the dog, or just for a little get-away. Great trees and green grass make the experience enjoyable on many levels. So grab a coffee or a friend and take a stroll! NOTE: If you are going for a late night visit to participate in anything other than "walking" :D, be warned of the police that occasionally roll through this area. read more

Verdugo Park - Skate park (well part of it :p) - Parks Near Me - Glendale, California

A great part to have family get together's lotslots of trees with shade a very cool place.

Gorgeous large park with a basketball court and a playground. Pretty well kept grounds. It feels like you're out in the woods. Lots of beautiful sycamore trees growing in the park. It quite a sight. A nice escape from the city. read more

There really isn't a lot I can say about a park other than it was a peaceful place. There weren't a lot of people and chaos that you would normally see at a semi-large park. I loved the serenity there, and enjoyed sitting in silence and listening to the birds. I felt relaxed once I left... which I absolutely needed. read more

I've been coming to this park since 1983. I can honestly remember growing up here! Throughout all the Birthdays, Family Barbecues, Picnics, Soccer matches, Flag Football, or Dog walks, I've really enjoyed this place! When it comes to a peaceful setting, with ample room for picnicking, this is the place. It has, and will continue to be a Crescenta Valley - Glendale staple! The only thing, I could suggest would probably be to plant even more trees for a shadier experience! If any of you are planning an outing with family, and, or friends, look no further! read more

This is right across from Glendale Communittee College, so I come here often if I ever want to sit down and just do some relaxing. I have never used the skate park, because I don't know how to skateboard, but let me tell you one thing: It tempts me to learn how to skate so I can make use of the skate park! The gated baseball field is tricky to reserve. Usually, you can reserve the open softball field from the sporting complex, and play over there! There is plenty of room to have big games of soccer, football, softball, etc! The park isn't as crowded in the fall-winter season, so make use of it! read more

Nice park. Nice trail to run and great spot to chillax! You can reserve tables with the city which is great if you are hosting a large party! I appreciate this park and all it has to offer my community. Just clean up after yourself; and if some trash breezes past you - throw that away too! read more

Nice park, but make sure to come on the weekend, otherwise it's meter parking only. Nice bathrooms with toilet paper. Two playgrounds too. I gave it four stars because the basketball courts needed major renovation. There's an awesome skate park too. No tennis courts though. read more

Been coming here since I was a child, not only is the park huge, there's a skate park and a huge party area there. There's also a hiking trail you can follow that will take you up to the mountains, and you can see all of Glendale up there. 1-2-3-4-5 stars! read more

Beautiful park in Glendale that has baseball fields and good amount of parking. Lots of group parties and birthday parties here. They have a good play area for kids. Free parking on weekends, otherwise they have metered parking. Good place to have a picnic if you are having a group get together or even just to visit with the family for an afternoon picnic. read more

Great place to go. My kids grew up in this park 6 years. There is always activities to have fun. You can shoot basket ball, frizz bee, baseball and spend quality time. I recommend this place highly to have quest time or a lot of fun it is worth a trip. read more

This is a great park to hang out! Close to GCC and a good spot to meet up with friends. read more

This is a quaint park located directly across from GCC. Maybe it was a slow weekend, but we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The picnic reservation rates are reasonable and parking meters are not enforced on weekends. The picnic areas already have tables and benches so you don't need to bring your own outdoor chairs. There is a playground for the little ones and a skate park for those into skateboarding although word is that it may be shut down due to budget cuts. The area is well lit after sundown. Restrooms are mostly clean. No sketchiness to deal with. My only gripe has to do with the parking stalls - they're too small. If you have a big truck and you're hauling a lot of party supplies expect to be over the lines. read more

Love this park, easy to get too and convenient patking. Free concerts in the summer make it 5 stars read more

During our visit here, there was a Cosplay event going on, which collected toys for a non-profit organization to give to children. That same day, there was also a Battle Gaming / LARP group. ( that meets here about once a month.) http://www.meetup.com/Live-Action-Battle-Games/ A rare sight on what seemed like a typical outdoors visit at Verdugo Park. Other than that, - you see lots of families having picnics - free parking on the weekends (or you can always park in the residential area to be sure). - people playing baseball read more

There is a lot going on at this park: skate park, softball/baseball fields, etc. And it's expansive. If it was only for the diversity of things you could do here, it would get a 5 star review. This review focuses only on the softball field, which is just ok. The fields aren't kept up well, which means the infield is pretty bumpy and uneven. Parking can be hard to find during peak hours, because the college kids from Gendale JC park there at times. All in all, it wouldn't be my first choice if I wanted to take my kids to the park. read more

Verdugo park has served the public well. From hosting events, concerts, physical activists, or just simply BBQ-ing on the grill with family. I enjoy this park because of the short hike trail it has throughout the back. Overall, it has all the amenities for a 5 star park. Oh, and did i mention it also has a skate park! read more

My dog and I visit this park because it's big and there is a lot of green grass. I love letting my dog run free and watch him chase after his ball, followed by a wresting match. He always wins. There are two play areas for the children and my dog (he loves the slides but not the swings). There is also a ball field, basketball court, and indoor skating area. I love to relax here, go for a walk, or have a picnic any day of the year. The only problem is, most every time I bring my dog he gets a strange reaction, like a dry cough. I believe they use pesticides around the trees. We try to avoid the trunks and he seems to be much better. In the summer time, there is a kids camp, live concerts in the evening, and plays too. Check what days they're held before you attend. Parking is plentiful in the back lots or on the street. Bring change just in case. Go out, have fun, and enjoy yourself at the park. read more

Beautiful park.. full of trees and very peaceful. Some could say a nice final resting place. Great for meditation!

Comfortable size park with a nice walking path, picnic areas for large groups as well as small families, a skate park, a baseball field, a children's playground, and basketball. Parking is plentiful, and so are shade trees, which is great when it gets hot. The park is well used, though not overcrowded, making it a good spot to hang out and have fun. read more

This park is pretty great for just about anything -- first of all, it's HUGE, with tons of open space lined with grass and trees. You can find a quiet private place for a picnic, run free in the grass, ride bikes along the paths, walk dogs, play on the equipment, enjoy free outdoor concerts and events, or hit up the skate park. So much to do, in a gorgeous tranquil setting. What's not to love?! read more
