1 / 3Vincent Lugo Park
đ San Gabriel, CA
San Gabriel's landmark park featuring 14 historic concrete animal play structures from 1968 alongside a modern playground, a dry riverbed with pedestrian bridges, and adult exercise equipment.
I used to come here as I Kid with my dad and my sisters. One of the best memories I have when I was a kid, and I loved every moment of it. Can't believe it's still here and well taken care of. There is a variety of playgrounds here that include slides, Swings, and other fun playgrounds. You can take a nice bike ride, or just hang out and read a good book. They also have workout equipment too for the adults, and lots of picnic tables to enjoy a good lunch or a birthday party.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with young children who want variety and a sense of discovery. The dual-playground layout gives kids two distinct experiences in one visit, and the vintage animal structures are genuinely unlike anything else in the area. Weekday mornings are calm and social â Saturday tai-chi groups create a relaxed atmosphere.

âThis is a park with personality. It has a historic playground of big animal statues from 1968, as well as a more modern playground. A usually-dry stream-bed winds between them, crossed by several little bridges. There are shaded picnic tables. On a Saturday morning, there were several groups doing tai-chi. Small restrooms are available. Altogether, a very nice atmosphere and great for little kids.â

âA welcome break for residents that is just a short walk away from where we are staying over Thanksgiving week. Vincent Lugo Park is a great pocket park for all ages. There is exercise equipment, picnic areas, and children's play area. Very family friendly and relaxing with all the greenery.â
