“Spacious beautiful recreation park in the valley near the Westfield Sherman Oaks mall. They have a basketball and tennis court. A big soccer field and baseball and track field that you can walk or run. Also they have an outdoor swimming pool. It's located in a residential area and there are plenty of parking spots. There are benches for you to sit and for you to eat.”
