Best Pickleball courts in Long Beach, Los Angeles County for 2026

Long Beach encapsulated in one place. You never know what you might see. Has a playground, skatepark, basketball courts, picnic tables and workout stations. The litter is a problem and the bathrooms are horrendous.

Bixby Park is a medium sized Park located in the center of town on the beach, or just above that is. There you can find lots of amenities to keep yourself busy including a dog park for large and small dogs, a nice fountain-like area where you can sit and read, a wooded area with shade where you can lay out a blanket, or even a skatepark where you can hit a fakie impossible over a fire hydrant. Much like a lot of other places in Long Beach there seems to be a reoccurring theme or shall I see an air of disdain for the homeless. In this case up until recently the bathrooms had been closed for months leaving you with no other option to relieve yourself other than to walk moderate distance and down a switchback to the beach to use the disgusting Beach bathrooms. Luckily this has since changed and the restrooms have been reopened. Now Monday through Friday you can have a good time with the entire family with a newly renovated playground and basketball courts available to use with it only being a little more crowded on the weekends.There is a farmer's market once a week with venders and food available. I only wish that they hadn't removed all the barbecues in the park not to mention the rest of the city as well.

I used to love this park but a lot has changed over the years. It used to be extremely clean and safe no matter the time of day. Now there’s far too many mentally unstable people (Men and Women) walking the area. People will literally be a few feet away from the trash cans, and still toss all of their trash out on the ground. The restrooms are ALWAYS destroyed and graffiti is EVERYWHERE!!! I live a few blocks up the street and workout every morning so I also pass by every day. The street sweeper comes by once a week but can’t keep up with all of the trash that people leave behind. The only days the park is at its cleanest is on Saturday and Tuesday because that’s when they host the Farmers Markets so most of the time, someone comes to make sure it’s not a wreck those days.

Kiddie park available for smaller children, designated parking, dog friendly, and farmers markets periodically. The only thing are the transient community, which is growing a lot.

Can't bring your dog to the farmers market. Pretty lame since there is a dog park at this park.

Quiet little Park that has a farmers Market on Saturday and now includes an awesome Dog Park 🐕
