1 / 3Scherer Park
π Bixby North, CA
Best for families who enjoy nature experiences and have kids fascinated by ducks and birds. The large space works well for all ages with peaceful lake views.
Love all the ducks, the huge size of the park and great staff. And its right next to police station so it feels "Extra" safe. Needs more tables and benches or Id give it 5 stars
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families who enjoy nature experiences and have kids fascinated by ducks and birds. The large space works well for all ages, though parents should watch for unleashed dogs. Visit on weekday afternoons for the most peaceful experience.

βScherer Park is a nice neighborhood spot in Long Beach. Thereβs 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 youβre into tennis or basketball. Itβs a solid place to relax, walk the dog, or just watch the ducks waddle around.β

βwent during afternoon time on a monday so it was very peaceful. barely any water in some part of the pond but it's understandable in the drought. birds were all around the park doing their own thing untill a lady came to feed them bread. DO NOT FEED the birds. bread is really bad for them. saw at least 6-7 difference species of birds. plenty of parkingβ

βIt'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.β
