★★★★★Featured review by Ricardo Morales

This has become our go to park to take the little one. Plenty of space, plenty of green areas and two large jungle gyms. The larger one seems to be for ages 5 and up, and the smaller 2 and up, at least that's what I deduced from the posted tags. A decent amount of families show up slightly after 11ish, at least that's what I've noticed so far. This day that I took these pics must have been just before the "rush" because it was fairly empty.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Works well for families across the full age range thanks to the separated play zones. The toddler area lets younger children play independently from the older-kid equipment. The ziplines are the standout draw for ages 5 and up.

My grandma Ilonga👵, siblings, and I have been to the park because my cousin went to the school 🏫 across the street. We were waiting for her to come out of school but my younger sibling Utuone, and older sibling Andrew, and I were playing at the grassy area at the park.

This is a gorgeous park and a good decent size, you can get here through a walk path that goes under the freeway and above the metro train station behind dune apartments. The park has a tennis court and a kids playground and a good size field to play soccer. The park is between hills and can make a good walking path if you stay on the outside of the park. There are some hidden benches and a nice place to set out a blanket and relax. It is a good place to walk your dog.

Overview

Los Cerritos Park covers a generous footprint between hills in Long Beach, with two distinct playground zones — a smaller structure for children 2 and up and a larger complex for 5 and up — plus ziplines that draw older kids repeatedly. A tennis court and wide grass fields accommodate soccer, picnics, and informal sport. A walking path connects through from the nearby dune apartment area via a passage under the freeway. Restrooms are on-site and the park is pram-accessible throughout.
