I enjoyed the visit to this park. I came for a walk with my dog. The park is very clean and well kept. During the week you can park here for free, parking is hard to get in the main parking lot, I guess they close the parking area near the playground during the week. Maybe I need to try coming earlier, I came at 930am and had to circle the parking lot and wait for a spot. This park has an access to the San Gabriel river trail and I saw lots of people riding their bikes. The walking path is level and free of debris, I felt safe coming here to walk, lots of other women and some men walking the pathway. They have garbage cans and dog stations with baggies for your dog, I did not see any water stations so bring water for you and your pup.

Huge park with a walking path around the outside (2 laps are close to a mile)! And they have 3 tennis courts and 1 basketball court and 2 playgrounds and a "gym" station. Given how huge the park is I wish they had more courts for both sports but it's nice if you're able to secure a court.
