It's so awesome! So many animals, especially in the spring time, humming birds, butterflies, lizards, cats, dogs, bunnies! Nature is so beautiful! You can meet up with your loved ones and chill or do fun activities! You can also exercise and play sports like soccer ใฅ(ใฃ'-')โ•ฎ=อŸอŸอžอžโšฝ๐Ÿฅ… Just respect the park and others, and you'll be fine ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Best for active families who want to combine playground time with a walk or run along the riverbed and wildlife observation. The remodeled playground is the strongest draw for young children. Families wanting to extend the outing can access the LA river bike trail directly.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กBring water and snacks โ€” the single restroom may not be well-maintained
โฐSpring visits offer the most active wildlife โ€” hummingbirds and butterflies are common
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธAccess to the LA river bike trail is available at multiple points along the park
๐Ÿš—Inspect exercise equipment before use โ€” some stations show rust or wear

โ€œPeace and beauty in this place and you kind of find heaven in middle of busy town. I stop by for lunch which was potatoes and beef shami with salad. I really enjoy my lunch break. Oh by the way before lunch I did my workout with that mashin in the picture attached.โ€

โ€œThey remodeled this park and they made children's play area nicer..it used to have a lot of bushes and they cleared it out added a lot more rocks and it looks so much nicer. Making it a nice place to go for a walk or run.โ€

โ€œ6\2024: the park is not big but it is long, it does run beside the L.A. riverbed. It has a kids play area in the middle but it was under construction. On the north and south side of the park there are open fields to play soccer and in the middle, there is a small soccer court. Along the walk path, there are different exercise equipment, some need some repairs. You can get onto the riverbed walk path from the Somerset (have to walk on the sidewalk), Rosecrans (at the north end of the park there is a gate you climb a steep path), and the is a door in the gate in the middle of the park (have to walk a steep path). There are benches and nice places to sit along the park (be careful you can find broken glass), I only saw 1 restroom on the south end of the park but it does look sketchy. 2017: Fun plece for a walk or jog, a very nice place for the kids to run and play on a playgroundโ€

Overview

Ralph C. Dills Park stretches along the LA riverbed with a recently remodeled playground at its center. Walking paths run the length of the park with exercise equipment positioned at intervals. Open fields on the north and south ends support soccer and open play. Spring brings active wildlife โ€” hummingbirds, butterflies, lizards, and small animals are commonly spotted. The park connects to the LA river bike trail.
