Surprisingly nice skate park. Complete with tennis courts and caged soccer courts. Was there with the Grandkids found a corner picnic table. Took a stroll around the neighborhood. This park is huge lots of families. Will definitely return with much warmer weather.

Sapat Lang: ★★★★★

very clean park. tennis courts and baseball field are very well maintained. also they have a skate park with full of skaters from beginners to expert levels. lol. restrooms are also clean and have tissues. problem with this, lnot enough trees for shades. i suggest more picnic tables with shades. by the way, first to saw a public park with EV charging station. kudos to Downey city government. Los Angeles City parks department must visit your place to see the big difference. LA public parks are so poorly maintained.

Marco Hernandez: ★★★★★

Jorden Augustus: ★★

As big as the park is there’s room for everything except basketball? A park that has multiple tennis courts, a skate park, baseball/kick ball field, soccer courts, a playground for the kids but not a single basketball court in sight. Pretty insane for a park to be as big as this and no courts.
