Neighborhood park with splash pad, separate play structures for ages 2-5 and 5-12, plus dog-friendly open lawn. Best visited during daytime with your own shade.

Petite park located right off San Fernando Rd with two children's play areas as well as Splash Pad during summer. Dog walking grass with baggies for excrement pick up available. Bathrooms need some TLC per usual like most public parks is also upon its visitors to help maintain cleanliness. Parking available in rear. Have Fun 😊

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with young children who want splash pad fun during hot days, especially those with dogs. Plan daytime visits only and come prepared with your own shade. The park offers good amenities but bathroom facilities are consistently problematic.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Visit before sunset for safety - sketchy people arrive after dark
⏰Bring chairs and umbrella/parasol as shade is very limited
🎟️Parking available in rear, but may need street parking on busy days
πŸš—Bathrooms are poorly maintained - consider alternatives nearby

β€œThis park is nice and small for the kiddos to have fun! It's even dog friendly which is a big plus for us because we have to furry little pets πŸΆπŸ•πŸΎ there were two things we didn't like though 1) it clearly says it's a non-smoking area because obviously kids are playing here and yet there were a group of old man smoking right next to the play area. I truly hope something can be done about that. 2) the second thing we didn't like was that it's barely 5:30pm but since it gets dark early a couple of sketchy people are starting to arrive which does not make me feel at ease specially w kids being here. The good thing about this park is that there is also parking which may be accessed through South gelndale st. I definitely recommend coming early before the sun sets. Another nice thing about it is that there a couple of American sign language words in a part of the games and some Braille too. Nice way to encourage kids to learn more languages πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜Š.”

β€œA great place to bring the kids during the hot days, it's packed most days so you will have to find parking on the street on occasion but its not a terrible walk. Be sure to bring chairs and some form of parasol so the sun won't bear down on you, shade is a precious commodity at this park. It's also great for birthday parties it's by reservation only so that's a plus. Bathrooms are ok you also get the occasional vagrant hanging about but that's normal in the city.”
