Great wide open space. Filled with fresh air. Free. Accessible. Just wish I knew when I can park/visit without running into phantom events which block entrance. Are these scheduled? So that we may plan around them?

We had the Goat Yoga class with goats! The class was excellent! I was concentrating on the little and baby goats and I forgot about everything else!! The little goats are funny!! It was a great experience and I will definitely do it again!

Great for my 2-year-old son. He loved the excavator he could control, pony rides, and petting the goats. The playground and bounce-house the usual favorites, of course.

Its a fine park, good for letting the kids ride bikes. Obviously the fun police shut down the playground, but maybe once my kids are too big theyll open it back up.

I’ve been coming to this park since I was younger and I’m happy to say it hasn’t changed much. It’s a large park with plenty of open areas and trees for shade. Perfect for a picnic or taking the dog for a walk.

This place was a lot of fun. Big green spaces and good family areas. Its next to Arroyo and rose garden. We walked from Arroyo which was less than ideal since some of the areas in Arroyo really smelt like sewage. next time id come directly here

I love this park It has an awesome play area for kids with the foam mats! My kids aged 1-9 were well entertained. I love that its back into the establishment instead of right next to the street. It is a must see down by the Rose Bowl!

Enjoyed MANY years coming top this park as a kid growing up in Pasadena (for summer picnics, little league, cycling, swimming and more). Now, my wife and I still visit Pasadena and generally include a visit to Brookside to give our dog Harry a good walk and some play time. Its easily one of Harrys favorite parks.

Review №31

Lots to do here. The Rose Bowl, Brookside Golf Course, Kidspace Museum, the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center, playgrounds, soccer fields, baseball diamonds and more.Gets pretty full on weekends and if you park on the golf course, for a game or show, you can expect a long wait getting out due to traffic congestion.This is also the place to come view many of the Rose Parade floats while theyre being decorated.

LOVE this place. My daughter can play for hours. The only issue is that lately there have been drug users and dealers during the day time in the parking lot and on the hill side where the walking path is. Police should patrol the area

Very quiet at Brookside Park Friday afternoon. Beautiful scenic area. Being a rare quiet day because of Memorial weekend. Got a chance to visit with a good size brown white cotton tail rabbit.. mean while the Canadian Honkers are around the lake. Great place to take time out.

I am now 68 years old. I grew up in Pasadena and very close to Brookside Park. I played in the park all the time. There were vines that we swung on. The golf courses are wonderful. Has the best fireworks. Learned to swim in the plunge. I graduated in the Rose Bowl. My high school John Muir High played football in the Rose Bowl. I love the park. I have a lot of history with the park. Its a huge park. With a lot of shade trees. The baseball diamonds are convenient for pickup ball games. The tennis courts are great. All in all its my favorite park.

Wonderful park with so much trees to sit under for shade, public restroom close by, huge parking and just so spacious for the little kids to run around.

Review №58

Went to watch birds. Minimal area for that unless you hike up the trail. Looks like a lot of families use the area near the swimming facility for picnics, although this can easily cause crowding. Saw a lot of bikers and joggers in the area.

Solid place to play some rec league softball. The fields arent perfect, but I have yet to go to any park similar to this one that has immaculate fields. Nice location, near the Rose Bowl and Aquatic Center. Tennis courts seem to be pretty popular too.

I EXHORT therefore, that, FIRST of all, supplications, prayer, intercessions, and giving of THANKS, be made for ALL men, for kings, and ALL that are in AUTHORITY; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in ALL godliness and honesty. For THIS is good and acceptable in the sight of God ( Eze. 1:1-28 ...K.J.V. only ...no Pictures / Acts 17:29-30 ) our Saviour ( I Cor. 15:1-58; Phil. 3:+-21 ); who will have ALL men to be SAVED ( Eze. 2:1-3:27; 18:1-32; 33:1-33 ), and to come into the knowledge of THE TRUTH ( Dan. 10:21; John 14:6; I John 1:1-5:21 ). For there is One God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus!! ( I Tim. 2:1-5, and from Niles Livingston Sr., a servant, and an apostle of The Lord Jesus Christ / Galatians 1:1-6:18 ...K.J.V. exclusively ). ...Amen.

The softball field lights are way too low and make playing at night a nightmare with balls getting lost in the lights. Field on the grass is scrappy and bad hop central. Other then that I love this park and play every week in the city league softball games. Just fix our field please.
