    very clean park. tennis courts and baseball field are very well maintained. also they have a skate park with full of skaters from beginners to expert levels. lol. restrooms are also clean and have tissues. problem with this, lnot enough trees for shades. i suggest more picnic tables with shades. by the way, first to saw a public park with EV charging station. kudos to Downey city government. Los Angeles City parks department must visit your place to see the big difference. LA public parks are so poorly maintained.

    Good size park. Aside from minor construction work good spot to stay active with basketball courts, different size fields, and a splash zone. Although I'm not sure if that splash zone is open. Well kept as far as I can tell.

    Not crazy bout its narrow shape design. The front part is relatively safe, which is facing the main road, but further in is staying away or hiding from the public sight.

    Great tennis center that allows you to reserve courts for a small fee. Court 5 has shade in the morning.

    Feels like a jail area, and has no running trail. Shady characters, poor maintenance, and too many fences.

    I was only on the side of the tennis courts I didn’t explore the rest of the park. With that said it was pretty calm I didn’t see any weird people or anything out of the ordinary I felt safe. I will update once I explore the whole park.

    Nice small quiet park to take the kids and dog out in the morning. Safe and green. Plus, there's a park monitor on site.

    Nice neighborhood park, police cars patrol the area. They have sports, playground and open fields as well as nice paths to walk!

  • 5/5 Jose S. 4 years ago on Google • 4 reviews
    This park is a great place for any type of skater young or old beginner or pro! The local skaters are good with the younger kids teaching them how to skate and encourage the youth to skate and not do the drugs that's spreading like a wild fire
