THE PARK IT SELF NEED TO BE TOOKN BETTER CARE OF ILL SAY, THE MENS REST ROOM HAS THREE TALS BUT ONLY HAS ONE IN IT , NOT ONE THAT WORKS BUT ONLY ONE . THEN IF U WANT SOME WATER U HAVE TO BRING UR OWN , THERE ARE NO WATER FAUCETS. NOW AS FOR THE PARK IT SELF ITS A GUD PARK BUT IT CAN BE A BETTER PARK WITH BETTER CARE FROM THE CITY LIKE THEY DO THE PARKS IN THE SOUTHWEST. IM JUST SAYING ???

The gym,tennis courts, basketball area,inside and out.the baseball field, community events, lets not forget about the pool, orspray park area.summer programs, study lounge, free meals, medical, cultural events. Dont forget about the June the activities starting this week, woo did I forget any things. Go to the Bakersfield parks and recreation Dept, for activities all around the county, also get stops at the park.have a great Summer!!

Nasty park, full of druggies and homeless people. I went to try to find a place to spend a little time outside and a quiet place to work on a novel. Did not happen. Bums bothering me every 10 minutes and then the one shaded place I sought out to sit was invaded by a noisy mother and her unruly children. Disgusting bathrooms, none of the benches have shade and far too many people with no repect for personal space. Find a better neighborhood.

I never go there in building before but I heard of this other park. Bakersfield California have two (2) parks : Martin Luther King Junior park and Martin Luther King community. one time to go voting in 2005 or 2006. I went there at several times on park since I was kid. I seen many different people. One thing surprised me when they left the park every night. Every morning, they come back to clean park. They clean well.

This is not the park to take your kids to as safe or drug free..However this is the park to provide clothing to the homeless, to do outreaches, provide sack lunches, etc. My brothers gathered a bunch of us up we made food passed out hygiene bags drinks told testimonies that is what should continue to be done allow God to reach these people...if you are on the water park side it is ok the kids had fun didnt know about the activity center but you still cant enjoy the grass picnic areas due to all the drug use...these people arent bad just lost need love that everyone has a story everyone
