    It's trully so desapointing to see that a PRIME AREA as PASADENA has this kind of negligence in its parks, and worst of all is that is being tolerated by the city ... I came for vacation here and sometimes we just love to walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery but when I see that the bathroom park of the one park that is in the middle all , an it's not getting its maintenance like it supposed to... I had to take pictures cause the city needs to keep an eye on the lazy employees that supposed to maintaining the cleaning of this precious park that sits in a PRIME an beautiful area... This bathroom reminds me of echo park it's so ridiculous for such rich place like Pasadena to allow this.....

    Big green space near old town Pasadena and it's next to the Del Mar light rail station. There aren't a lot of activities here except for a small playground at a corner. I don't see a lot of homeless people in Central park, which seems better than the Memorial Park. Restrooms are open with ok cleanness.

    A nice, small unassuming park. Walked through on a drizzly Sunday, a good handful of parking spots available around the park.

    Cute little park a few blocks away from the main strip of old town. Nearby garage parking, lots of metered spots on adjacent streets (quarters or parking app) Playground and small sports field, some picnic tables and trash cans. A few homeless people around during the day. Clean bathrooms. Overall welcoming and well maintained, nice to take a walk through.

    Mostly filled with people sleeping or talking to themselves. I've never been here without seeing someone washing clothes in the bathroom. I will say, the bathroom was shockingly clean. I mean, not pristine but for a park bathroom it's one of the cleanest. Cheap metered parking so make sure you have quarters or have the parking app because that's all it takes. Decent playground with some cool slides. If you don't mind the riff raff, it's a really gorgeous park. I have never personally had any problems here and I come with small children.

    It's a good park. Only a few homeless camping in the day. They are away from the playground. They playground equipment is well-maintained. If your kid plays aggressively, the wood chip ground means there is a non-zero change for splinters.

    This is a small city park with no apparent features except the playground. It is right across the street from the fire station so, expect that noise. Parking restrictions are seven days a week and closely monitored. You can use an app to pay for parking. That was easy to set up in very convenient. The time limit though is two hours and then you have to move your car. If I’m never there again, that would be perfectly fine.

    It's a decent sized park with limited benches and picnic tables. They also have a designated children's playground area. Great location. Very pretty old trees. Lots of open grass area to sit and read a book or play with your dog. And they have a designated children's area in the far corner with lots to do. Unfortunately there are no vendors there's very limited seating and the park is frequented by people who are unhoused. Generally folks keep to themselves. Parking is on the street at meters all around the park.

    Pretty simple park with few amenities. Probably about 3 acres of well-maintained green space bordered by busy streets. Be careful of parking limitations as there are parking enforcement peeps riding bikes. When I was there on a weekday around 11am, there were only a few park-goers (small children with parents and what appeared to be a few homeless folks), so it was not busy.

    It is truly a beautiful and peaceful park. It's a place that will not get tired of visiting over and over. It's a small paradise in a big and wild city.

  • 4/5 Kathy 1 year ago on Google
    It is very nice. I didn't like the bathroom. It was dirty with other people's liter. There was not a good way to wash your hands or dry them. The park itself was clean and nice place to set and have picnic. Play ground was nice could have been bigger. We went there because there are nice places to eat.

    I often grab breakfast or lunch to-go, from a local restaurant, that don't have a dog friendly patio, and come here to eat. There are plenty of shady spots, to spread out and enjoy a moment of peace. Bring quarters, it's quicker, and cheaper than paying for parking with a card.

    Good and safe place to jog! You can also play croquet for free in a fenced area. The Del Mar Station is in the east side of the park.

    Nice park right downtown. Parking is available at meters so thats a bit annoying. There are a few homeless but they were not hanging around the kids play area. Some areas of grass for sitting. Overall its a city park. Nothing extraordinary.

    Good park, centrally located in Pasadena! Warm sunny grassy. I sat out for an hour or so and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a shame that the entire middle of the park is broken up by a gated lawn sports court. Like most of LA, there are some homeless, but not bothersome to me!

  • 5/5 T. K. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely small park. The park is well-lit and always feel safe with close proximity to a police station and a fire station. You might find a few homeless people here and there in the afternoon but they are rare and do not bother anyone. Playground is very clean.
