Cute little park in the middle of town! I guess the name fits. Took my dog around for a couple of laps and she enjoyed it as well. Croquet and lawn bowling fields? Must investigate next time.

Nice big park in old Pasadena. Great for sitting down reading or eating. There tend to be a lot of homeless here. Take caution but youll be fine.

We are staying in Pasadena for 6 months and this park is perfect for dog walking and picnicking.. great find would recommend it!

Love taking the kids there but any park youll see homeless people and of course we always give them our leftovers or anything that we can help them with the only downfall is Park in if you dont live across the street or around the area parking make sure you bring your quarters or any type of chum change

If you dont mind homeless people, its a decent park.

Nice park with plenty of grass and shade. Some activity but not too crowded. Met this amazing dog there!

Good and safe place to jog! You can also play croquet for free in a fenced area. The Del Mar Station is in the east side of the park.

Clean and well patrolled park. The childrens play area was still fenced it, and their doggy bag dispenser was empty.

Yummy, pretty open park space. They have lawn bowling, which hardly ever gets put to use as I recall. Big, tall trees for shade, and really quiet to walk around in the a.m. and late p.m. How is Pasadena doing nowadays? It was becoming more rich and uppity in the last several years, I know, but its been awhile for me. I called Pasadena home in the 80s and 90s growing up. It was, then, a regular and nice L.A. County suburb.Back to Central..lots of grass, a path that circles, and a playground for kids. The restroom gets a little unruly sometimes, but not because they dont clean it..just the nature of the beast of these parts. Theres a strange building on the south side, also. Its a house like structure. Last but not least would be the scattered concrete picnic tables and frequent weekly gatherings that feed the community. They even used to throw church on Sunday here! Its a medium to fairly large park that we all love to pass by on the way to wherever Pasadena/L.A. takes us..right off the lite-rail at Del Mar Sta.

Great for casual hangouts, eating a quick lunch or just grabbing some sun.

Nice park in the middle of downtown. Many people order food and have picnics here.

Lots of shade from old and big trees, clean and well maintained. Restrooms are on one side of park which is meh if youre on the other side. Dont chance not paying parking meter youll get ticketed.

It was very peaceful in the last three years since i been there but clean

Has a lot of childrens amusement facilities more than others I have explored. Also coms with big lawn which is good for soccer playing and training, and for picnics.

Beautiful little park with plenty of space to have almost any activity of any sort. Loads of parking everywhere, with a few covered garages that are fairly cheap nearby as well. All around, its very accessible.The only downside is, as many have commented, its a hotspot for homeless. It seems that the Pas. PD do try and manage it, but it still remains very active. They typically leave you alone, however, so long as you dont bother them, so Id still give it 4 stars.

Our Covid 2020 family dinner date at this park was a great memory made! Beautiful scenery and vibe

They chargue parking in sundays it is not nice

Lovely. Well maintained and friendly grounds keeper. Robert held the 501 for me earlier today and tried his best to help me with routes. I think he deserves a recommendation for a raise. Thank you. 6/23/2020 11:05 AMish.

I grew up down the street fro this park. I absolutely love this park. On any given day, you will find people walking their furry companions, motherswith the kids playing on the merry go round. Located across the street to the metro Gold Line. It truly is a great place to sit and be surrounded by all the trees and its people.

Clean and nice to spend time with the family.

Nice area to chill and relax. Unfortunately vecaus eof covid19 the swings are bot accessible.

People drinking and doing drugs everywhere. Nice view of Castle Green though.

Could be better, could be worse. Avoid theRestrooms, that is unless youre looking for methamphetamine.

This park was the perfect spot to eat my ramen from Tatsu Ramen nearby. Ill definitely come back to this park

I love relaxing there beautiful trees and birds

Beautiful park next to Castle Green. Nice walks and playground for the kids. Wide open grassy areas and picnic tables.

Super day in the park for #littletikes #playbig #worldsbiggestplaydate -- great location and facilities. Thank you #Pasadena for hosting!

Nice park, the the homeless are a real problem. One of them starting yelling at my 2 year old son. Very uncomfortable

A great park with excellent positioning, cool play structure for kids, lots of space for picnics and playing. Im not really sure what the Pasadena lawn bowling club is, but its located at the park and seems interesting, but doesnt take up too much space. The constant homeless people are a slight inconvenience for those with children.

Not very impressive but safe so theres that

Great picnic spot and playground

It has made good by the Archangel of the World. All are welcomed! P. speaking. But if you get out of hand Darnell will rip you a new one, nicely so to speak. Just kidding. Everyone be cool.

Nice grassy area with shade trees.

Beautiful, clean and safe. Has a play area for kids. Just a few table benches but beautiful green park. Restrooms are always clean too.

Clean, big, and spacious enough to social distance.

Dirty and Super Stinky. Its more of a Homeless hang out.

Lovely park!The best thing about this place is the amount of different trees there are all next to each other. It is nice to be able to sit among them and enjoy their stoic existence.

Beautiful park for both children and furry companions. My kids love it. Even the part where when it gets dark there are little field mice running through the bushes. My daughter thinks its the coolest thing n my toddler loves the roller slide and the steep slide.

Playground is great. By the goodwill, salvation army which have free parking if you shop there. Little market a block up for snacks & beverage. Plenty of places to eat or get coffee within walking distance. Alot of homeless people in the park, but its a big park so its not too bad. Across the street from the goldline station if you feel up to an outing. Public parking is paid and usually available.

Its a park. It has some good amenities. And it has a lot of homeless. I wish Pasadena had better services for them. But their too busy suing themselves over marijuana shops.

Central park is a nice green space, but what I like best about it is the lawn bowling green. The park is home to the Pasadena Lawn bowling club. The folks there are friendly and enthusiastic about others learning the sport. They offer free lessons & have everything you need to learn & play.

Nice park with a lot of playground equipment and some great mature trees in the downtown Pasadena. Nice restaurants are close by (across the street). Metro station is right there. Negatives: transients baking in the sun with inconspicuous fumes emanating from them and one of the slides for children seemed to be too steep for preschoolers. But there is enough of other slides, swings, etc. to enjoy.

City of roses Central Park the heart of it all in Pasadena California

Not so clean ...plus they have alot of mosquitos..

Nice place to walk the dogs or just relsc

It is so fun and cool and the wind is nice

Rarely vist this park during the day. Usually go at night when its less crowded even though when I drive by when the sun is high noon till 3 I never see it overly crowded. M6 park visits are during the evening especially during the summer when its cool and nice where you dont need a jacket. Very comfortable in t shirt, shorts and slippers. Nice to take a leisurely walk

Whered Pasadena put the homeless people?

One of the best parks in Pasadena.

Very beautiful park. convenient location. Great playground. but too many homeless people.

Great stop for a picnic, you get to watch soccer practice, too...depending on the day.

On the day of my visit the work men were relocating benches and the different play sers. But all on all it was decent park.

I really liked this park! Beautiful trees and grass . Plenty of benches to sit on if you dont want to sit on the grass. The playground was full of children and families which makes me happy! Felt safe being there.

Lots of fun lots of area.pets are welcomed.alot of events.Colorado Blvd and Metro station close by..Come see the attractions in PASADENA..

Great place with lots of options for kids and close to some tasty restaurants

Love our public parks and spaces. Makes me feel better about the world and what we can do to make it a better place.

Bragable but its not a dog park.

Very nice park. Has fun kiddie areas and is big enough to hold a fair.

Fun playground, and lots of grass and trees to run and play. Also, right next to Old Town Pasadena.

A place of beauty where kids play and adults can help feed our beloved homeless U.S Vets

Short walk to old town

My dogs love this park

Such a lovely park! We brought our 1 year old here for the 1st time. He enjoyed walking around but didnt want to get on anything, lol.

Nice park, lots of fun for kids

You need anything?they got it...

Its a beautiful temple, but any Catholic church can be found beautiful.

Best place to relax in Pasadena before heading back for more shopping. Kid /pet friendly. Play ground equipment also for disabled peds/ adolescents.

Lovely park, easy access from the Gold Line. They have many events throughout the year. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

Central Park is fabulous. It is right across the street from the train station. Grass spans the park from end to end with the exception of the awesome childrens playground. Picnic tables in choice areas with trees everywhere. The restrooms are well kept. Variety of events depending on the time and day and season. Lawn bowling in a fenced court area. All of this on the edge of gorgeous historic downtown Pasadena, California.

This was a good park to rest at while I was on my way to visit my parents for Fathers Day. There are some nice big oak trees to sleep under! A big and spacious park.

Nice place to relax. I wish they had more shade but still a good spot

Jackalope Arts has been going strong in Pasadena for a while now and I finally made a point to check it out! This is an outdoor craft-y type fair right in Old Town--Id say its worth checking out if youre into trendy handmade wares (more kitschy stuff, less fine art) or wanted to spend some time exploring the rest of the area. Old Town is super walkable and family/foodie friendly (and also my stomping ground, HMU for recs)!Jackalope is free (yay!) but parking in the area can be pretty terrible. Im a personal fan of the Passport parking app since most Pasadena meters still require coins--you can also find a fair amount of inexpensive lots in the area. I personally found the selection of vendors at Jackalope just okay, but I wasnt really shopping for anything which may have had something to do with it. There were a few food trucks and a kid are with live music, both of which I thought were a nice touch. Restrooms are mostly limited to port-a-potties which is obviously not ideal, but another reason to go support some other businesses in the area!

Very nice park! The fire station in front of the playground is a plus for the kids!

Huge park a must see in NYC

Beautiful park, but I found the people who were packing up after breakfast very rude.If you dont want to help those in need then why are you involved with an organization like church in the park.Definitely didnt feel my presence was appreciated and I dropped the burrito. And didnt eat.Seriously though, why bring all the food out and set up the tables at all if in the end you make the people you claim to want to help feel its necessary to write about the experience like this on Google?Enjoy your football game.

Bud loves chasing the the squirrels there

Very green and open layout. Beautiful park

Great hangout spot

Amazing!!

My dog bud enjoyed it

Kid likes it and overall has good activities except for the bums at the East side of the park. Make sure you keep your items hidden and dont feed the bums, they might leave if they get no handouts from begging.

A wonderful park that has been the center of Pasadena for decades. Once upon a time it was dangerous and unsightly but now a days its a lovely place to take your family, go for a picnic, exercise, play some outdoor games, anything really. I will say that its not the most advisable place to go to after it closes though.

Love this park a beautiful place for a picnic and a nice apparatus for the kids

Its a clean Park to feed the Homeless

Nice open grass space. Not much else

Beautiful green Park.... The home to many homeless.

Great Food and good service. Gave us time to look at the many choices. We had 4 different items and ALL of them were Great. I really enjoyed the Mint Balsamic dressing. Its a Very Small place but cute and NOT uncomfortable. I would totally go again.

Its really clean and nice and well kept.

Beautiful green trees and grass.

I love the lush beautiful greenery and wide openess of Central Park.

Great food and welcoming environment!

Nice playground for kids! Clean park with lots of trees.

Great Saturday at Central park enjoying the park and the Farmers market with family and grandson. Beautiful park,great atmosphere, with plenty of play ground equipment to keep the children content, and the Farmers market supplies the food and drinks for instant picnic at the park after play. No better way to spend the day amongst others like-minded...

My kid always has a good time at this park, we love visiting, has a nice playground and is clean!

Public restroom functioned; adequate picnic tables; close to transit. A little dog-poopy and containing a few beggars, but otherwise picturesque. Playground for kids. Big, shady trees

Very fancy park. Great swings. Everything in pristine condition.

-Fun & safe park-Rats are everywhere at night-Adventurous jungle gym

It has a nice childrens play area and thats about it

Nice Trey lmao

Very central.
