I walk here very often. The park is clean. The park personnel is at the park early and stay until 9 or 10. Whether is early morning or late night, it's great!!

Onei Bernardez (BoiFresh): ★★★★★

Venice is a great part that has a workout station. That’s perfect for promoting health. Also, I would rather go to that park sometimes because of it set up. It’s very welcoming.

Absolutely lovable and I enjoy the time I get there to relax and rest and of course I don't have to worry about having a good meal from cross the street jack in the box to eat while I visit the park. Many blessings to the workers and visitors keeping it safe pleasant and better way to live around each other by keeping it clean and neat for everyone. God bless you and bless America

Lyz Cairo: ★★★

Nice walking track, but narrow. Park looked rundown, but noticed that city's Park and recreation was out cleaning up the park. Has a swimming pool and tennis courts, but looks like they're closed.

Precious Daboss: ★★★

This is a decent park. I drive here all the time. People are constantly exercising and going on a run here. They do have a gymnasium where they hosts many sports and such. They do have a tennis court, but it is closed off and that is currently where all of the homeless people sleep or Friday.

Melayah: ★★★

Nice park. Lights don’t go on at night at a set time, this is very inconsistent. I enjoy walking and jogging but I realized there are corners of the park that are so dark. Now that the sun sets earlier the park is dark by 5PM. A man approached me last night from the dark and started to harass me while I was jogging (& that’s putting it lightly). I got so startled and was so caught off guard that I ended my jog and left early. There’s a lot of kids that practice here and play basketball, all other kinds of activities, so it’s alarming that there’s a corner of the park that’s literally pitch black. The park should be a safe space for the community. It’s been like this for years and I hope something gets done about it. It’s not the first time this has happened to me here, but it’s the first time I felt afraid and that if something bad happened to me nobody would see or help me bc there’s no damn light
