Standard Park's 16.5 acres stretches from E MInner Ave to Ferguson Ave along the West side of Doyle…read morejust to the East of Standard Elementary School. There is street side parking along E. Minner, close to the baseball diamond and picnic shelters. The baseball diamond comes complete with lights, two dugouts, and bleachers behind home plate. There is a small building just West of it which appears to be a concession stand, so I am going to assume that there is either a little league or NOR team that plays here. The setup seems quite elaborate compared to the baseball facilities at most city parks. Just East of the baseball diamond is a covered picnic shelter shading a number of individual picnic tables with a capacity of 80 people and two charcoal grills nearby. You can reserve this picnic shelter for private use by contacting the NOR Parks & Recreation District at 391-2020 and completing an application which can be downloaded here http://norfun.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/FR-100-Use-of-Facility-Online-Packet.pdf The cost is $15 per hour with a 3 hour minimum reservation. There were two other individual picnic tables in the park, but neither had a grill located near them. At first there didn't appear to be public restrooms at this park, but just as I was leaving I saw a building tucked back behind the baseball diamond where there were mens and womens restroom. The women's restroom had 3 stalls, one with a clogged toilet and two with no toilet paper. The water at the sinks works, but there is no soap. There are two play structures one for the younger set and a larger one for older children. THere are plenty of single seating benches near both play structures for parents to sit and watch their kids. I saw a basketball hoop where you could play half court, and there was plenty of open grassy area suitable for a variety of sports. This is not a bad little park, and is probably a lifesaver if you live in the dale and have small children.

I wonder why it says "YELPERS HAVE REPORTED THIS CLOSED" this park is not closed. I would've…read moreprobably been the duchess at this park and no matter how many times I report it's not closed, Yelp doesn't do anything about it. It's literally less than a 10min walk from my house. You walk through the neighborhood and there it is. This park literally has nothing but 1 bench and a whole lot of grass space and that's probably why they're always playing soccer here. My dogs like this park. My boys run up and down w them when it's not occupied by soccer players. One of my dogs (Kreacher) likes to mark his territory on every single tree and kick grass/dirt w his hind legs to let all the other dogs know this is his park haha. It's a nice park to walk your dog at and I really like that it's not filthy and for the most part... dog owners pick up after themselves which is always a plus. When you enter the park from our neighborhood you enter from Boswelia and if you walk all the way down onto the end of the park then you end up on S. Laurelglen. It's literally a cool shortcut. The bad side is that lately we have noticed homeless living inside of the blocked off canal and that makes me feel uneasy. There's tons of trash in the canal also now when there's literally a trash can not too far away. I hope the city can take care of the trash problem. I happen to like this park and even though it's just a park w just grass and 1 bench, it gives my dogs a place to run.

This park is very nice. It is usually very clean. It has two structures, one for smaller kids…read more(1-5) and one even older kids can enjoy (2.5-12). It had a swing set with 2 baby swings and 2 regular swings. It also has a small manual Marry-go-round type toy and two little spinning chair toys. There is also ample grass area to run around in. There is one covered eating area, but a few other benches and tables that aren't covered. It has many mature trees which provide some shade in the grassy area. The structures are somewhat covered, but In the summer time the slides still can get pretty hot. It is a very nice park and the structures are not too close to the street, which is great! We attend this park fairly regularly and enjoy the other families that come. My 3 year old can easily be entertained for 2 hours here at this park. The only reason for 4 stars is because there are no bathrooms at this park, so be prepared for that. There is an up & down side to having bathrooms at these smaller parks. In all the times we have attended this park, I have never seen homelessness being an issue here. We love this park and appreciate the city for keeping it clean.

This park is located next the the soccer fields that was previously named the State Farm park. This park is new and a great place to walks the dogs and take kids to play. There's even a nice man-made lake you can walk laps around. HOWEVER I'm giving this park 4 stars because I've seen teenagers here bring a giant bong to the park on a school day. Sorry I'm that person that doesn't advocate illegal activities. (call me a Debbie downer) I still enjoy this park and it's maintained very nicely our community needs to figure out how to not let it get overturned with bad activity's. As a women I still wouldn't come here alone after sunset. It's new so it can be barren at times which could be the perfect opportunity for something bad to go down.

I came across this one and was pleasantly surprised by how newish it was. 2 play structures (one for smaller kids and one for bigger kids), basketball courts, beach volleyball courts, and plenty of benches. The best part (and I can't stress this enough), the play areas were SHADED. Plenty of shade to play and enough trees to provide shade for parents trying to chill on the benches. It should be criminal to build a park in California and not provide shade. Only downside is that there aren't any bathrooms.
