Central Park

“Central Park is one of my favorite places to walk around and take my kid to. We bring bird seeds for the ducks and love spending time feeding them. There are plenty of ducks to feed, and it’s been beautiful to watch ducklings grow up and live their lives along the many ponds at this park. Besides the lovely ponds and steady stream with turtles, there are beautiful walking paths that zig zag with California native plants and cacti. It’s tranquil and adorned with seating spots. There’s an open basketball court and sand volleyball area. The kids playground is neat, the rubber ground is turned into mounds of different shapes and sizes and it’s super unique. My kid loves the long tunnel!! I’m pretty sure you need to RSVP for the soccer fields. There’s an amphitheater that is so cool to sit in when it’s not being used. The grass at this park is very loved, a perfect place to kick shoes off and ground yourself. There are no dogs allowed, and the security is pleasant and considerate. They will inform you when you have about an hour left before the park closes. You can find parking along the park and nearby streets. It does fill up on weekends so sometimes you drive around a while looking for a spot.”

“Enjoyed five (5) ponds with turtles and Canadian gooses as well as ducks surrounded with nice lush green trees and a variety of plants.”

“Well maintained park with plenty of street parkings. Many green field and table for you to rest, you can also grab your lunch or coffee from nearby restaurants and coffee. They also have soccer and basketball fields. Good also for family with small kids who enjoy watching the ducks, turtle and fishes in the ponds. Close to Bluff creek/ LMU trails, so you can park you car here too.”

“Central Park in Playa Vista feels like a fancier version of the usual recreation center all over the city. The football fields are greener and newer, the playground and basket ball courts are built on top of a beautiful pond, there is even a beach volley ball court. Landscape green space is very pretty and the whole park is clean and well maintained. However, I can't find public restrooms in the park. That's just unacceptable for a public park.”
