I literally love this place so much. I have so much fun here every time I come and it’s the first and only dedicated freestyle calisthenics park I’ve ever been to on the West Coast. It deserves a lot more attention because it is excellent.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older kids and teens who want to train together rather than use a traditional playground. The freestyle calisthenics setup rewards effort and experimentation. Combine it with the adjacent beach, skate park, and volleyball courts for a full active day at Venice.
