1 / 2South Park
📍 Hermosa Beach, CA
Neighborhood park in Hermosa Beach featuring a well-known concrete slide, BBQ areas, and a paved perimeter walkway around a large green field. Some playground sections currently under renovation. Free entry, paid street parking nearby.
This is a very nice park with a BBQ area, large lawn, extremely big park with a ton of unique features. It’s currently being renovated, so a large portion of the playground structures are fenced off for the time being. I hope to come back here when it’s finished so we can check out the new additions, as well as the renovated ones.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with older toddlers through school-age kids who want a beach-area playground with a distinctive feature they won't find elsewhere. The concrete slide is the draw. Renovation-aware families who visit knowing some areas are off-limits will remains find plenty to do.

“My 3 1/2 year old grandson loved the big slide. It reminded me of sledding dow a hill in the winter in when I was growing up in Massachusetts. A very well constructed,maintained and fun park.”

“One of the best neighborhood parks I’ve seen! While there’s something for everyone here, the unique design especially appeals to children. The area is back in the park, a ways from the busy street, ensuring a safer experience overall. It’s a wonderful land of fun, adventure, exploration and exercise! The community garden gives a green thumb a local home base, while an open green space, lends itself to a random roam pace! There’s walking trails, benches, picnic tables and tree shaded spots available for leisure use. There’s clean restrooms and parking just off the street, so park users can divvy out accordingly!”

Overview
South Park in Hermosa Beach anchors around a beloved concrete slide that long-time visitors compare to childhood sledding. The park includes BBQ facilities, a large grassy field, and a paved quarter-mile walkway around the perimeter. Playground equipment sits set back from traffic. Ongoing renovations have sections fenced off — some structures are inaccessible during the improvement period. Porta-potties are the current restroom option.
