I visited Murdy Park and Community Center. I had a good time. I loved seeing various waterfowl species, a bird of prey species, and some turtles by the water. I also loved seeing the changing leaf colors of the trees. I love that this park is dog friendly.

It hurts me to know we are just covering all the good memories and fields we have in this fine city. I grew up in this country and I remember about 40 or 50 other boys running our hearts out on this field to try to make try outs for the Huntington Beach dolphins. And now there taking the memories and totally building over them. Why do we need more courts and more building that will eventually fall one way or another. Trees never grow ugly like man made materials. This park was beautiful the way it was.Kids need fields to run and play what ever games or sports they choose. Not ones our parents or society wants.

Great family park. There are many fields used for baseball or football. There are 4 full courts for basketball an ok childs play area...could use an update. The community center anchors the park with various classes for kids and adults. Very convenient location close to All your needs.

This community center was closed when I was here but Im not sure if it was because of after hours or if its due to coping. But the park is very nice, there are a lot of activities that people can do here like a skateboard park. Murdys skate park is really cool but its very small and its hard to skate unless youre pretty good, but its great to see the kids out there having a good time. Im really happy that Huntington Beach has this little skate park. also there are tennis courts in the back and basketball courts. It really looks nice for our community to have available to us. It looks like they also had several shuffleboard courts, but Im not exactly sure if these were shuffleboard or Dachshund racing chords, lol.

This park is huge! It has a community center the provides classes, basketball courts with lights, softball/ baseball fields, tennis courts, playground, and is currently under construction to add a proper well light soccer field! Plenty of free parking, dog friendly, and public restrooms!

Very good place with great classes... I LOVE the remodeling... 10/10 would recommend

Nice play for the little ones the bathroom are clean also have a little skate park. Only thing is that you must watch your steps for dont step on dogs afters

Clean and nice. Too many people. Very busy.

This is a fantastic community center in Huntington Beach. Murdy Park and community Center offer a great blend of free and paid things to do. Free: soccer on the grass, playground for the kids, basketball, tennis, softball fields, game room, and even a small skatepark in the far corner! Paid classes: daycare, dance, karate, art, music, sports lessons, and more! All these things add up to make murdy Park and community Center a great place to come for activities.

Lots of bugs, doesnt feel safe... Lots of weirdos walking around....

This is a nice picnic park with a playground for the kids. Foam around the equipment makes it safer for children.Lots of tables with convenient trash bins.

Grew up playing basketball every Saturday here and wouldn’t trade it for the world, my favorite park by far

A large, well-established neighborhood park with tennis, basketball and baseball facilities, as well as a skate park. There are homeless folks, sometimes, sleeping in the bushes or under the pavilion cover where there are tables for picnics. Overall, the park is safe well-lit, and clean, as long as one remains alert. Theres ample parking and bathrooms in the community center. Nice park for kids birthdays, since there is a playground, as well.

Always fun here. Grew up going to this park. Most of the play equipment is updated. I would suggest being careful taking barefoot kids...the sand wasnt the cleanest.

Cool park for kids to play on the playground, basketball courts, tennis courts and 2 ball fields. Plenty of parking. And a clean community Center.

Needs some updating for the kids park area. Sections of the grassy area in and off the baseball field has homeless people camping out. The bathrooms have no soap.

Even with the park picknic table area being under construction (Summer 2019) there is lots to enjoy for kids and adults. I once saw a skateboarding dog. Magical

Park is beautiful but rarely cleanedup.Who is responsible for pick up? Too much garbage sitting out for 4 days!

I used to love taking my daughters to this park. Unfortunately all you see is people drinking by the benches near the playground. People are always taking stuff out of the sand that should not be there! I would just like to see this park be what it used to be. The benches smell like pee at times.

Great community activity center! Quite large and well used and maintained! A positive aspect of living in Huntington Beach!

Very unclean, trash and items in sand by swingset. Nothing surprises me about this park, day or nite.

They are building Bocce courts , state of the art. Cant wait to play on them.

Good parking easy access to fields.

This is what a park should be. Amenities for all; softball fields,basketball courts,tennis courts,shaded picnic area,apparatus for the youngsters and a rec center and water faucets for all! Great way to show community dollars put to real good use. This is how our tax $ should be spent(Irvine/El Toro- Great Park)!

Park definitely needs a clean up im so happy they are remodeling

Nice clean park with all basic amenities. Cool little skate park. There were a few vagrants, one whistled at me.

Its time for ocean view little league baseball! Our favorite place, better than a major league game.

The fields are pretty nice for softball and they have all sorts of classes at the community center. Keep an eye out after dark for some shady characters.

The staff that work in the community center are nice kids. The center itself is dated, but accommodating. Murdy has always been a gathering place of sorts for delinquents, homeless, and more. Shame there is not an outreach, job training, parenting, self esteem, life skills, grief & loss, etc. program, or counseling service in either the unused adjacent school or the center itself. All and all theres lots of good sport equipment on the grounds.

Great park for many activities and kids day camp.

Back in the day, murdy was a little intense with the younger ones. Since they all matured I would say it’s not as bad as it was. Murdy skatepark has soo much history to it. It was the first public skatepark ever built in Orange County. Legends grow up here like beagle from baker skateboards ,Dylan Rieder , Mike vallely , Ryan decenzo and his brother Scott decenzo. Just saying a lot of rad skateboarders come here. It’s not the biggest skatepark but it definitely has loads of history here

They have the lights on at night so you can play basketball. Its not overly crowded.

Love it ...great umpires and lovely group of gals just having fun

Fun little place I come here to play pokemon go when Im low on pokeballs I just go around in a circle a few times i think they have a sunset program all the kiddos look happy staff looks nice playground looks fun havent brought my girls yet theres a corn man whos the after 6 corn cup is so good corn is soft

This is a great example of how a city should spend funds. Upgrades here: small skate park,new lit basketball courts (10 pm), extra softball and tennis courts. Plenty of free parking,water faucets and restrooms. Covered picnic/bbq area and childrens playground.

Besides the slew of homeless and run around and sleepnin their cars, this park isnt bad. The courts and fields are pretty well taken care of and staff is helpful.They have some great programs run out of here so go and check it out.Their tennis program is one of the best.

Its aiite.

Nice place to play basketball or BBQ

Nice little community Park three baseball diamonds tennis courts little park for the kids to play in and picnic tables with a big huge covering along with basketball courts.

Park and Tennis courts are very well kept.But the men restroom was fair.

Great summer programs for the little ones, but overall great park you get a little bit of everything you need

It is a park, there some interesting people there day and night and they do have tennis courts and basketball courts, so not too bad there.

Great park for swings and hills to roll from :)

Not impressed. It was fairly clean and there were some very nice gentlemen who were probably homeless. They had no attitude

A really nice park.

Church picnic. Typical urban small park.

The only think I didnt like is how close the side streets were to the park.

Murdy has basically been my backyard for 20 years. Lots of Love for that place growing up as a kid and still today.Murddyy P. KiiLLA 4 life!!

Old style park lots of room to run and do sports people are friendly tie each other and its clean

Great park with lots of activities for the kids. Only downfall is the sand is dirty and there was lots of clothes everywhere.

Nice place... lots of space to park and a lot of shade to hang out and watch your child.

Nice park and rec center! They fixed the place up a few years back.

Murder Park Mafia run and controlled. Stay away. Not a place for families

My sister lived just down the street from there and she did many Bday parties there. Great area.

Very nice location, trees, and grass.

Currently under renovation. Half the park unavailable. Will update when they finish... lots of homeless in this area...

We do pee wee Tball here through the HB Sands. Awesome. Clean park, lots of room. Shade trees. Skateboard area. Community center that hosts lots of classes through the city. Playground for the kiddos. Easy to get to from Goldenwest. Lots of parking.

This is a very nice park, fun for the whole family.

Good size park with good parking and maintained bball courts

It has shanged since my last visit in 1981.

Park is open to local softball leagues, M-F. People can also play tennis and basketball. Theres also other activities there.

There was a scary homeless guy yelling at nothing

Basketball court was Fun

4 tennis courts, lots of parking, baseketball courts, baseball field. Not sure what else is in the park, as Im normally just playing tennis.

Kids at first day of Splash Camp.

Charlie loves his walks here

Clean for the most part. Has basketball, baseball, and soccer fields. Barbeque pits as well

Park is ok, there does seem to be some shady characters often and they leave trash behind, but for the most part the playground is pretty good.

Love this little park

Very nice community park.

Convenient location for Dance classes with plenty of parking

Great baseball park for softball.

Great people specially Barbara

Clean park

Facilities are great and they have bright lights at night, but theres always some group of pot smoking hooligans and/or homeless people milling around.

Dirty & lots of homeless people

I always have fun

Heart park

It was a nice day

Nice park for softball practice

Hello great park,& community area

Never actually went into the rec center, always came for the park. Yeah there would be lots of homeless but the facilities themselves never seemed to suffer, were always well kept.

Quite more than usual

Fields are always kept up, need to work on removing graffiti

Nice park.

A lot of homeless and drug addicts walking around park.

Under construction
