During that time, Id go jogging at the park on weekend morning, sometimes afternoon. Sometimes i just hiked around the park. On weekends, if the weather was nice, you always saw lots of people hanging there engaging in different activities. For some time, I got into this roller skating group that would roller skate there every Sunday. It was a lot of fun.

Kudos to its founders, thanks for this beautiful park.

ATTENTION!!! Several cars that were parked along the street had windows smashed and luggage stolen. There also are homeless people along some of the trails. However, the park itself is very beautiful with many different kinds of plants and attractions. If you go, hide your valuables just in case (bring them with you physically if you can). Tinted windows are a plus too. Avoid leaving bags in the car since a backpack was stolen from the car right behind ours.

I rode there on my bike to play my guitar. A beautiful park with a skate ramp, a play ground and lots of small spaces to occupy and bath in nature.

Cool park Dude!

Saw Terry Kennedy here. He really is as nice as he seems.

Its a really huge park that includes a baseball field, basketball court, tennis courts, and a nice path for maybe a jog early in the morning before work or a nice walk after dinner with a loved one. Dont worry about parking because almost the whole perimeter of the park you can find ample space.

Skate boarders paradise. Not as big as MacArthur Park but a nice little place to sit and rest.

Not sure what this is suppose to be, it seems like small park but I see students leaving trash everywhere.Wouldnt recommend it

It was ok skaters but to many homeless

Much better since the last time are being a lot of changes positive very positive changes they are building new facilities thanks to the administration for the great effort to bring prosperity to the park and neighborhood wounderfull job

Nice park basketball courts and a soccer feild

Definitely has upgraded in the past few months. Must see in person and in the daytime. Youll get the park to yourself after 7pm.

You gotta see it for yourself lol Interesting

Played basketball Ive gotten worst I need go out n in practice more

Most of the park is under construction, and a few places to enjoy, the childrens area is a little bit smaller than other parks.

Definitely another great spot to find cheap meth

DESPITE POLICE PRESENCE...STILL THE NASTIEST PARK EVER

THEY RECREATED HOMELESS HIDE OUT.

Great for basket ball, great for soccer, great Summer programs for children. Gangs moved out from the area or under control by roaming police. Downfall...Pot smokers showing no respect for those who dont smoke in and around play areas.

Getting cleaner. The kids playground is getting cleaner.

Nice park to sit and have lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

Great place to play basketball and soccer.

Its Straight for playing Basketball.!

There is AC inside with a lovely basketball court. There is also space outside too. Many activities you could do there.

It was awesome nice people nice equipment and nice everything

Great place. Had a nice time.

Skate park. Awesome for the lil ones

Not my favorite place to be.

Great little library with a nice selection, computers, and helpful staff!

Very large city park. Basketball courts, small concrete skate park, many picnic tables. Located next to a small community library that offers computer use. The park is frequently inhabited by urban campers, the non-European, local druggie types. The outhouses are disturbingly disgusting. Watch out for drug needles.

Lafayette Recreation is a good place kids go there to play basketball and have different events people come to have church services and feed the homeless people there they help out the homeless people and Families they have outside events basketball courses swings playground for kids so Lafayette Lafayette Recreation is a good place for people and family as you go to have fun people there to please a very nice and they still respect even to the kids and your thoughts thank you

Crowded with homeless people. Latino town, no offense- just observing. Need some tlc. A lot of rubbish.

Seems mostly post school kid oriented, pleasant to stroll through, drainage problems. I am curious about the shipping container building that is under construction there.

Not enough police activity a lot of gang activity even though they dont bother you but still a lot of stuff going on around the park and its not that clean

My kids enjoy playing at this park they ask there grandma to bring them here

Great place have been going to this park for so many years.

Lafayette is a very beautiful place to visit. The outdoor basketball courts bring the best of all cultures. Children from 8 and up are always playing there due to the safety of the park.

ID OKAY SOMETIMES CRASY BALLERS BUT WE JUST GO TO HAVE FUN BE SAVE GOD LOVES YOU AND HELP YOU ALL

A beautiful park in LA. You feel safe and you are able to relax. Beautiful grounds

Very nice place for all people.

Very small, but beautiful park with a few courts for a good pick up game

The surrounding was dirty. It seems like theyre promoting homelessness.

Nice view.

Good park needs a little help on the basketball court outside. A safe environment.

The food for feria Chapin was horrible price are very Spencer, I dont recommended this feria Chapina , parking hard to find the price for parking place around minimum $10.00

I live in the streets it nice to sleep there during the day

I like the skatepark. The main park is chill with good vibes with tons of space to just enjoy nature in the center of the city.

Great public place. No more homeless. I feel safer.

Cleaned every morning safe place to walk dogs and to bring children much safer than MacArthur park down the street

A cool smoove relaxin high energy place alota hospitality

Great plack my owner park to skateboarder

Basketball, soccer, skate ramps, etc. all your needa met for each child. Indo not like the lack of staff or police presence, too many gang members per my son.

Has nice playgrounds outside, located right by a library. Has tons of great programs also!

I used to play basketball here all the time because the lights never turned off.Good place to jog.Lots of homeless though.

Nice spot to play street ball. Most nights get busy so be there early if you hope to run!!

Great park with public sports fields/courts. Kids playground. All well kept.

Lafayette park was good fete in the best way to have a time at with your place of hubness

Such a lovely view of downtown la

Cool place. Cant really make an opinion on it.

Dope park, first of many skateparks in LA. Fun ledges, 3 & 5 stairs with rails and hubba, Manny pad is fun too overall fun park

The parking situation here is awful. We go for a basketball league and it is really difficult to find parking. The indoor basketball gym is really nice though.

2 Full outdoor basketball courts. Current one full court with good rims and paint and one full court with no net and broken backboard.

Great place to skateboard with the carls jr initiated plaza may have cought a glimpse of the park on mtv rob dyrdeks fantasy factory ... Guest torey pudwill did a kickflip back lip to kickflip back lip slide on the A shaped ledge.

This time is feeding ducks

Because i had fun enjoying thw Chapin summer festival

We won the final there

I used to go here very often as a child. The view is nice and the place is beautiful.

Nice soccer(futbol)field

Big recreation center just off of Wilshire. The center has a soccer pitch, basketball courts and a playground with two separate sections. Theres plenty of tables and even some bleachers for the courts.

Good view

The skate park is pretty cool

Great place for kids recreation and community.

Wish it was cleaner. Alot of homeless around. It always smells like weed and there his someone drinking alcohol drinks. I always have to come here because my son plays soccer here

Fun place to take the kids and also a fine place to take ones self to relax and forget about the Worlds stressful factoids

The park is dirty always filled with homeless,tweakers and prostitutes and theirs always fights and trouble going off here. Not a safe environment for children to play so to high level of pedophiles in area

Its cleaner than Mc Arthur park. Basketball courts and soccer, in front to the other side of the street theres a tennis yard.

Calm and serene park

Is my neighborhood library and I love it

Amazing park but no bath rooms
