Grew up around this park and it just brings back great memories. Tons of space giving you plenty of options to enjoy life.

The park itself is quite pretty. Nice fountain and walking area. The fields are ok. Good to run around but not ideal for soccer. Several ant hills and long grass. But for overall fun, it is a definite nice place.

Lots of open fields and its not ever too busy during the afternoon! Great place to take the dog out, but careful as there are many ant piles.

Is a great place to bike ride, jogging, walk or just seat and enjoy the view, breathe the fresh air..on weekend this park is full of live, people with kids, poppies, playing soccer, baseball, tennis, taking pictures, marking a lot of activities, nice landscapes, bridges, fountains, if you like life outside have to go and pass a great time on it

Such a great park to skate, work out, let the kids run free or chill at a table or bench and just look around. So peaceful

I did in fact wear my blue jacket here. It granted me the power of reading minds. Sadly it was the day of a Trump rally. So I just kinda cried a bit and left. Good cry tho.

The home of my middle school and a great park. But at some point they added pullup bars and a whole fitness thang and thats exactly what our cities need more of.

This park is always great. We go here for races or events and its always nice, clean and safe. Has a ton of equipment for kids to play on, the pictures here are of the smile mile that we attended.A lot of open fields, decent amount of parking and plenty of shade trees and beautiful homes that line this park, absolutely a treasure.

Nice park for some little league. The field is well kept as well as the facilities. The stands are a little small and the concessions are on the pricey side. The kids park is closed currently which is a bummer.

Beautiful park. It has pretty much everything you want from a park. A beautiful fountain. Benches. Many pretty photography areas. Basketball courts, tennis. Sidewalks being used for walking, biking and skateboarding. Could be romantic, fun for kids, or just a peaceful day out.

Very convenient park. Bathrooms could be cleaner, and they recently took down the basketball hoops from the basketball court. Other than that, really nice park with many things to offer.

A beautiful, safe, pet friendly, sprawling park nestled in a huge sports field next to the Baldwin Park residential community. The perfect wedding and event location, featuring a mammoth water fountain; creating a dramatic backdrop for photos. Clean, well maintained restrooms. Covered pavillions with BBQ grills. Sports complex also. Lots of parking. New, outside, workout area just installed... with cushioned ground mat to minimize joint impact.

Average park. Grassy ground, though watch out for dips in the ground. They do host a hot air balloon festival there though, which can be fun if youve seen one!

3/31/20202-I called this after noon at 1:17pm and and pressed 2 on my dial pad for recreation and athletics and a very nice, sweet cheerful lady answered my call and was very helpful she let me know what areas were still open ..then I called again at around 3:35 and pressed 2 on my dial pad again and A man answered and I asked “what time do you guys close” and he said “who do you think you’ve called” in a very rude way...and I said recreation and he said know this is administration and transferred me to someone’s voicemail. So I called back and pressed 2 for recreation SIX TIMES and he never picked up again I feel very disrespected.

I have run two 5Ks in this park this year, and it was an excellent experience. The full park area is made up of two parks, Blue Jacket and Baldwin. There are sports fields, walking paths, plenty of shade trees, and open spaces for sunbathing, picnicking, or any other activities. There are bathroom facilities and a beautiful fountain. The neighborhood is quiet and situated near a body of water. Parking is ample.

Came here for a festival but the event was pretty much closed down because it rained earlier. Purchased tickets online for the event and then there was no one to even give tickets to. You just walked in freely. The area appeared clean and there were good food trucks. There were plenty of porter potties with sanitizer to use too.

Well maintained beautiful park with many areas for children of all ages and pets. Bathrooms are clean, water fountains along the path, and many benches to relax on. Great place to exercise outdoors, or find a cozy spot to sit and watch the many birds or read a book.
