β€œTorrance has a lot of parks, and this is a pretty good one. There is a play structure, plenty of open field space, a baseball diamond, a basketball court, shaded picnic area with grills, and bathrooms. There are not many water fountains, and there parking is somewhat limited. However, it is probably walkable for many of the people who would want to use it, so parking may not be as big a deal.”
