Nice clean park with a big playground for kids. There's ducks & fishes in the pond which kids enjoy. It connects with the LA "river" for those looking for longer trails to run or bike. They also have a reading box with free books for anyone looking to relax and get their read on.

Such a small but clean park. Has so much on this playground for kids. Two small lakes with ducks and geese. Right off the 605 freeway in Downey.

This is a big park sandwiched between the 605 freeway and the San Gabriel River, just south of Florence Ave. and has the following: -Free parking -2 duck/turtle ponds -Playground with 3 different sets of playground equipment along with plenty of swings (6 baby swings & 6 normal saddle swings) -Sidewalks lined with benches, trash cans, and water fountains -3 pavilions with 6-7 benches & at least one bbq grill each -3 restrooms, although the most southerly seems to be closed most of the time -Complimentary dog poopie bag stations -Recreation center that doubles as 1 of the 3 restrooms -Book lending mini-library post, located in front of the recreation building

This is a great place to take the family and kids. They have a playing area a pavilion with table and plenty of trees that give shade. I enjoyed the paths they have to walk around or to go bike riding. This park has a pond with ducks and a fountain that gives it that extra touch. The restrooms are by far the cleanest I've ever seen in a park. The only thing it was missing is a snack stand or a mini store. I highly recommend visiting this place. On my last visit it was very peaceful enjoyed the moment.

Nice clean park plenty walking g space for everyone benches and covered areas for picnics

Beautiful small park! Not that many tables or benches to seat but is clean. It has two water fountain with recycling water it adds a nice touch to the little park. There’s a lots of ducks 🦆 and birds. Do not come on Tuesday morning before 11am since they’re cutting the grass and cleaning the park so you will get a dusty picnic or more allergies 😅

Absolutely beautiful. I love the renovation. My kids enjoyed the wild life with ducks, turtles, and other small critters. Accessible parking. I went during the week which was really quiet, but expect the weekend to be extra busy.

Great place for commuters to stop off along the way! Other similar places I’ve seen have been designated as roadside parks, just beside and in sight of the busy freeways. I enjoy the brief respite from my commute, with the wildlife, trails and landscaping to distract from the business of my day! Here, the beautification efforts have paid off! As a city park, it’s a great place to take the kids to watch the ducks and geese, play at the playgrounds and for nature walks around the ponds! Then they can progress to the motocross bike trails, and the grown-ups can park and take their bikes to the San Gabriel River Trails! There’s informative signage in English and Español explaining park features. There’s also helpful user info regarding the practical application and rules of the park. Picnic tables, benches and open lawn spots are available to relax and unwind in a natural setting. Dogs are allowed and frequently seen with both residents and road travelers. Parking may be adequate, tho weekdays can be crowded. Public restrooms are throughout the park, tho some may not be open on weekdays. Trash containers and dog mitts are randomly placed all around the park, helping users to look after themselves. While the park is a modest attempt at creating a wilderness like area, I can’t help noticing the freeway and high power lines that come with the territory. As a longtime Los Angeles tourguide, I’d like to escape to such a nice, natural area and connect with nature, tho away from the traffic, noise, pollution and power lines. So the attraction for the looks and usefulness of the park is awesome! Tho there’s something left to be desired, considering the secluded tranquility of the wilderness.

I’ve been to this park for the 35 years they’ve recently remodeled the park family friendly huge kids playground on south side of park parking is limited and does fill up fast parking on the south side has been closed since COVID so you only have the main lot to park

A cool place to go to and chill. Beautiful view, different birds, water and a walking path.

Beautiful gardens, the park seemed small at first but is bigger than we expected.

Nice park with two ponds having water fountains. Playground for kids and walking trail for all. Cycling lane is available from side of the park. Good parking space and restroom available. 5$ fee for resident out side of Downey.

Fabulous welcome park with lots of water walking trails Go early before the crowd comes on the weekend $5 parking charge. Great place to walk your dogs.

Such a wonderful magical place full of life and great people they have 2 beautiful ponds with turtels birds and fish, I actually love fishing here of course I catch and release. Its my theraputical place were I go rest my mind.

It's a nice park, connected to the riverbed. There were bunnies, squirrels, ducks, geese, fish, tadpoles, and a crane. I had not been there for decades. I was shocked that the city now charges for parking! $5, really? I will keep on looking for nice parks to walk without the fees.

After the remodeling it definitely looks better but to leave out a playground for the kids to play is interesting. Also the water condition is very bad! The algae is growing rampant and causing a foul smell

Great park it has been updated the only complaint is the charge for parking on the weekends,the restrooms are closebye to playgrounds open grass areas great way to spend the day with friends and family just watch out for those new species of animals just kidding just people having fun

If your a biker, jogger, walker, runner, a day with the kids even if your just fly fishing, this park is just. Gem! I arrived at 8am, sat. Many bicyclists were already getting ready to zoom off. After, you might find a 5 dollar charge if non resident. There are a couple charging stations for evs.. super cool Two large fountains, a couple of locations for great photo ops, many benches and water dispensers. Restrooms were available, a child's playground was clean and modern. Walk ways super clean and extended around the whole park. Peaceful and a mecca for bike riders... see photos. Great for picnics , for family time and enjoy the long and never ending bike trails.

Beautiful park I enjoyed a walk around here with my dog and seeing all the wildlife going about their day. The bridges and seating are also very nice as you can gaze out at the view quite easily.

It was my first time here with my 3yr old son and 1yr old daughter and we loved it!! Definitely coming back! They had so many awesome little jungle gyms for kids of all ages! Also a pond with ducks! Super great for family days.

It was nice before but it’s beautiful now the family loves it been coming here for years

It is a clean and peaceful Park to enjoy a walk around the Lake and play with the family or the little kids

Honestly I Love this park my favorite thing about this park is the fact that they take such good care of the park and have even established a great ecosystem for the ducks and other animals that have made this park their home
