    I am one of the homeless youth that hang around this park area. It was never suppose to be this bad. Months ago myself & a few other youth always kept the area clean & respectful, never smelled, never problems with cops, never hated by the public. I'm sorry that it has gotten out of control, it wasn't suppose to h happen, but many of these homeless youth around aren't drug users & are quite clean as i myself am. I hope to be off the streets soon enough as i do work, please as a community help other youth when you see them at the p park. Job offers, housing ideas, support s systems! Many do want to leave the streets

    This morning I passed this park and there were a few tents completely blocking the sidewalk on Cahuenga Boulevard. The recreation center is also has high fences all around which doesn't look or feel right. It's probably better on the Cole Ave side though.

    I don't have much to say, given the fact that I was very recently there to vote in the California Recall Election of 2021; but nevertheless I saw the basketball courts were efficient enough, for anybody to play a pickup game, on broadened daylight. However the interior facility needs to be renovated, in my opinion. That's why I'm leaving this summary as a poignant 3-star review.

    We visit the swimming pool and it was a nice, clean place but many homeless people all around it. The place doesn't have family rooms for kids and parents, they only have women and men changing rooms and the lady at the front desk don't allow you to take your kid to the women room with you. Not safe since it's a public place and a kids can not be left alone getting dress in front of other old guys that can be a danger for them. So it's a nice place but not safe for kids!

    It was peaceful and quiet when I went there this morning.. One man asked me if I had a piece of candy and I told him I think so so I reached into my purse and lo and behold I gave him one. He thanked me and I was on my way. He smiled at me as I was leaving the park and told me thank you very kindly. That made me smile and made my day.

    Saw this on the fence, was told that the park main building, basketball court, the gym bars and playground are being torn down and rebuilt. The field and pool were not being taken down

    Great place to visit if you have kids. This is a dog friendly park, and it's huge. I love that it's walking distance to Tartine bakery so we bought some bread and hang out in the park with my kids. This is the highlight of their SF trip, they won't even leave. They wanted to stay there all day if I'll let them. It's a beautiful day when we went, and it's early morning so parking wasn't too bad but I can see how challenging parking can be here. You get a great view of the SF line esp if you're on top of the biggest slide in the park

    Small park but i love it...The park director and staff are very nice. They are also building a pool right next door. Can't wait for the summer to arrive.

  • 4/5 Phylean P. 4 years ago on Google
    Free WiFi here courtesy of the city of LA but only stinky porta potties during the off season from the months when the public pool is open unfortunately. Gosh darnit I miss those wacky lifeguard kids and the best waterslide EVER in a neighborhood pool!! See you there next spring with bells on!
