“It's a beautiful, large park where many people get married. But there needs to be a natural water purifier for the pond to clear out. It's very dark and I cannot see any fish swimming in it.”

“Despite an attempted bite by an uncontrolled dog (he tore the sleeve of my jacket), the park was an oasis.. water feature is worth a look.”

“Scherer Park is a nice neighborhood spot in Long Beach. There’s a little lake in the middle surrounded by tons of ducks and geese, which makes it feel peaceful and a little lively at the same time. The park has big shady trees, plenty of grass to hang out on, walking paths, and a playground. There are also courts if you’re into tennis or basketball. It’s a solid place to relax, walk the dog, or just watch the ducks waddle around.”
