Lacy Park

Beautiful park, well kept, common sense and respectful rules, clean and safe. Great for running, biking, walking and also for children. Great for walking your dog, plenty of water stations and pet waste disposal areas. Bathrooms are available, well maintained and clean. Gorgeous landscaping, and the veterans memorial was a humble touch to the history of the park, with a monument plaque to home town hero, GEN George S. Patton. Really felt at home here!

Such a BEAUTIFUL park!! Lots of lush green grass and smooth track for roller skating and biking! Great for picnics and play dates!

This is a very lovely park. The rose arbors are beautiful and fragrant in the spring when they bloom. There are lots of picnic tables in the shade of large trees. A paved oval path loops the park. It is nice for walking, running, or cycling. I used to ride my bike here frequently as a child and young adult. There are some tennis courts, a children’s playground, and a large grassy area that is a wonderful place for playing games or having picnics. This is a great place to come with friends and family, or by yourself to meditate or clear your head. I understand that a long time ago it used to be a lake that was used in conjunction with the old mill (a historic site in San Marino). There might be a fee to use the park if you are not a resident of San Marino, so come prepared. It’s worth it.

Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood of San Marino, Lacy Park is an oasis for children and dogs. Especially during Covid 19, many families bring their children and dogs here for a walk and to enjoy the natural beauty and fresh air.This is a place for a morning jog or walk while keeping distances from others. The park has a one way path policy to keep people from running or walking into each other. I see a lot of families having picnics here by taking advantages of the picnic benches throughout the park.May people also come out here to exercise. Many people jog here in either the inner path or the outer path. I also witnessed many elderly doing Tai Chi here. My wife and I came this morning to just to take a walking.I was also surprised by the finely manicured rose garden here. That looks like a miniature scale of the rose garden inside Huntington Library.Finally, I learned something new today from the Patton statute in the park. I found out that the famous General Patton was originally a San Marino resident. Wow! That’s big. Didn’t know our neighborhood contributed to WWII in a big way.

Its a very nice park, but it charges money ($4-5) on weekends if you are not a resident of San Marino?? Thats completely unreasonable and deserves 1-star. Lacy Park receives state and federal funding that we pay for. It should be free to the public. The money Lacy Park receives from this fee is negligible and goes to pay the salary of the person collecting the fee. I understand if Lacy is a national park that requires a lot of upkeep, but its a small local park that anyone should be able to access.

Beautiful park with lots of space and a nice bike trail. So many trees make this park unique and great for pictures, picnics, and serene walks.

Such a beautiful park! On the weekends it costs $5 per person if you are not a resident of San Marino. Picnic tables are spaced out so social distancing is easy! And everyone wears a mask so you feel safe. Lots of kids riding bikes, lots of activity but the grounds are spacious.

Beautiful park with lovely views all around and plenty of shade. I love the track that wraps around the field which is perfect for scooters, bikes, and skates all alike. Perfect for family time or just me time.

It is a beautiful and peaceful park. Theres a really nice rose garden.

Such a beautiful park with lots of grass and trees. It feels hidden and also feels like you are not in a big city. It also has a paved track for bikes and skates and running. Love it so much!

Love this park. go on a weekday and its basically like a free huntington gardens. Wide open grass area and great cycle paths surrounding it.

Lacy Park receives upkeep money from the state, yet charges non residents on weekends. The revenue from the entrance is negligible and only serves to keep middle class and low income families out. We too deserve access to fresh air and space, especially when we pay for it with taxes. Shame on San Marino

Tucked in next to Huntington Library. Vast, clean, inviting, well kept.

A well cared for park with a vast array of trees (which are labelled for those that care to learn) and other plants from across the globe plus a nicely arranged rose garden.

Nice park can be a bit crowded. not sure but i heard you have to show proof you reside in area? There is a tennis center and a scouts lodge, activity cntr

The $5 fee is pretty classist. Remove it, and it is a 5 star park. Also, you get Karen vibes around some of the people who walk there

Pleasant walking area with gorgeous homes just outside of the park. It’s busy though, and the walk is a loop. The park is actually kind of bland but the neighborhood is great.

Nice park, we went on a weekend and paid $5 for non resident.

Similar to the grounds at the Huntington Library, but free on weekdays/ $5 on weekends. Plenty of grass for play and shady out of the way spots for romance! Whether youre doing soccer warm-ups, or out for a stroll, this Park has it all plus delicious Noodle World takeout is right down the street.

Beautiful walking trails, great trees. Amazing place to spend an afternoon or morning

Beautiful, large, lush private park. Jogging, bicycle path. Clean play area for kids; small kids equipment and bigger kids equipment. No sand. Just wood pilings of the sort in play area. Cute small green tables for picnic and regular benches for sitting. Water fountains throughout. Restrooms near kids area.

Lacy park is a nice place, but charges people who arent from San Marino an entrance fee on the weekends despite having been built using their tax money. Its a classist requirement which keeps the wealthy San Marino as exclusionary as ever

Nice park for picnic and stroll. Restrooms open. Handicap accessible, including parking. Lots of shade from beautiful trees of various kinds.

This is just the most ridiculously beautiful park - perfect for young kids riding bikes and scootering.

Beautiful park with tons of space. Always very clean and well taken care of landscaping.

Lived in this area two years and finally decided to visit the park one day... Now I go at least once a week! Beautiful walking paths, lots of private benches, always clean. Great for dogs, kids, runners. Rose gardens are a must see when in bloom. On weekends there is a $5 entry fee if you dont live in San Marino. Totally worth your time. Parking tip: M-F park in the neighborhood where the rose garden entrance is as there is plenty of curb side space and easy park access.

Beautiful parkSocial distancingWearing masks

Like a trip to Starbucks, this park is the perfect taste of affordable luxury! $5 for non residents on weekends is perfect because it keeps outsiders of this upperclass city out unless they can afford the convenience fee. Sure, I wont visit a park in a city with a median household price of 2.7 million everyday, but if Im going to splurge, this is the park to do it at!

Its a very pretty and quite place with Many big trees where you can find a lot of shades and cool spots to spend a hot socal evening. I loved it! ️️

Great place to let kids ride bikes.

Beautiful. thank you blessings

Very safe place to take your children

This park is nice, the grass is well maintained HOWEVER, the perimeter, where the walking trail, most of the picnic tables, benches and play area are located are INFESTED with MOSQUITOS - lots of bites for kids snd everyone!

If you havent spent some time in this peaceful oasis, you missed out. Beautiful place to have a picnic with families. Be aware, locals pay nothing, everyone else $5

This park looks larger than it really is, and it is very well kept even during this Pandemic. Makes sense since it is located in a very posh neighborhood. Im surprised the neighbors didnt call the police on us since we didnt pull up in a luxury vehicle and our skin color was on the darker side of the spectrum. Horrible, I know but its good to be aware.

Such a great park. So much space a d super clean. On weekends theres a fee for nonresidents.

San Marino accepts both federal and state funding for park upkeep but charges nonresidents a fee to enter. Tax the rich

Great park to come out and let the kids play and ride bikes and also to relax in the shade

Beautiful park. Plenty of shady areas under the trees for relaxing or having a picnic. There is a small parking lot that we were lucky to find parking in, but there is also street parking. There is a non San Marino resident fee per person on the weekends, but we went during the week so we didnt have to pay. The playground is big and the kids love it. There are plenty of benches to sit around the playground. Also, great park for walking if you want to get your steps in.

The San Marino Motor Classic is an event that I highly recommend you check out if youre at all into cars!

Absolutely beautiful park in the heart of San Marino. Plenty of shade trees and a fun playground for the kids. There is a reason there is an admission fee, which is to keep this place beautiful for the residents of the city. All of the community events are terrific: snow day, Easter egg hunt, fourth of July. The San Marino Motor Classic car show, supporting the Pasadena Humane Society, is one of the best around!

My new favorite place to work out! I would recommend the farther out track for running and power walking. Great place to take your children and dog. Great for picnics. Free during the week but they do charge on weekends if your not a San Marino resident.

This park is clean. Great for family walks. Playground is clean and has a play gym for kids under 5 and a bigger play gym for the order kids. In the same play area. They have swings for babies and big kids.The charge to get into this park. Ive gone after 5 on a weekend and weekday and weve never had to pay.

Very beautiful park, very family friendly!If you are not a resident of the area, BRING CASH AND AN ID! they charge 5 dollars per adult for an entrance fee. I really didnt mind paying because it is so well kept!

A very nice park. Almost Zen Garden like in how it is kept. Beautiful and tranquil.

Beautiful park. Great place for kids to bike in safety. Not much parking though.

Enough space for you to find of your own and spend the whole day under a tree

Friday morning park was alive and it was a beautiful to see so many families being active and yet everyone was following social distancing.

Close to home, city maintains covid-19 safe requirements and dog has a great time. FYI, childrens playground is not open at this time.

I loved it except for womens restroom was locked so I had to go into the mens restroom

Very well kept, free admission on weekends. Came here for a nice picnic. Place is absolutely gorgeous and they have so many activities set up for kiddos around here.

Took a walk its was very serene.

Friendly park everyone we met were nice, its dog friendly

This park has very nicely kept grounds, and trails for walking and jogging. There are restrooms, but no refreshment vending stands. There are parking lots at the east (Virginia Ave.), and the west (St . Albans Ave.) entrances, as well as street parking (as per parking regulation posted accordingly). There are numerous picnic tables, but bbqing is not permitted (posted rules and regulations located at the entrances can be seen in photos I have uploaded: white letting on green background). It can get busy on weekends, especially on warmer days. Thanks for reading this review. Up

Lacy parks is very nice place to teach your kids to ride a bike. The play structures are very well designed and thought out. What is objectionable is that non-residents of San Marino are clearly not wanted in the park and they charged non-residents an entry fee on weekends. Public parks should be free and open to all.

This park is peaceful and very clean and well maintained. It is quite popular on holidays. Very safe for kids to do activities such as riding bikes and playing sports.

We love coming here with the kids. The park is great. Restrooms are old but clean. There is a $5 fee per adult on weekends if you are not a San Marino resident. There are no night lights and park closes at dusk, so be ready to leave when it starts get dark

Nice area to take walk, picnic and for outdoor yoggie

Great kids playground and SPECTACULAR rose garden

Great park to spend the day biking and relaxing.

A very beautiful park for families.

Great place, nice and clean, excellent to reach childrrn biking

How can you charge for park tax payers have already shelled out for? Are trying to keep people who has less money out.

This is an idyllic spot. Large green lawns with numerous species of trees. Come for a walk of beauty, peace and quiet.

I have the best time for this independent day. The firework is amazing.

Such a pretty park. Has lots of shade and benches.

Great day watching kids and families enjoying this iconic parl

We took the prom pictures for our kids and all the greenery made a lovely background to the viewers. They had a great time in the many sections of the park. It is a very special place.

It’s an amazing park but I have to pay during weekends... I understand it’s for crowd control, but i have not visited a nearby park that requires admission..

Large Area, Great for family

Our family loves this oasis in the center of San Marino. They have a great track that circles the park with a renovated playground for both big and little kids. They have lots of grass area and picnic tables for everyone. Its dog friendly as long as its on a leash. There are several tennis courts as well. My kids love to walk around the track as well as bike, skate, or scooter. Their rose garden is magnificent when in bloom. Its free Monday to Friday, but you have to pay on the weekends if you are not a San Marino resident.

Great little park in an upscale neighbourhood! Perfect for casual walking, jogging, or even picnics with the fam, squad or partner!

Feel good to be outside. Everyone is keeping their distance and wearing their masks.

Awesome place

Really relaxing place. To be with your loved ones. Many places to sit, many places to play with your kids.

Our favorite park

Beautiful park with picnic spaces

A little paradise of a park in a nice neighborhood, great way to spend a lazy afternoon.

A nice park for me and my family to go for a walk together during the week day nights and during the weekends. Keep in mind the park does require 5 dollars per person if youre not a resident.

This park is beautiful - a great place for families to take a walk or for children to play and explore. There are multiple playgrounds for children of different age ranges. There is a walking path and a road for bikes. Admission is free on weekdays for non-residents and I believe $5 on weekends. Free for residents of San Marino on weekends.

This is definitely the cleanest park in the area. They have a pretty decent 4th of July spectacular as well.I used to hate coming here because I would always run into someone that I know, though I have found comfort in it as I have aged. A little slice of American pie hidden right here in Los Angeles County. Shhhh! Dont tell anyone.

Great location, very clean facilities and playgrounds .

Nice, but the charge non-residents. Oh, San Marino.

Great location, very clean facilities and playgrounds as well as large open fields for picnic and play.

Great quiet park, went on weekend and was not busy at all.

Beautiful little hidden gem tucked away in the hills of San Marino/South Pasadena.. There are large and open green fields, beautiful foliage and flowers, picnic areas and a pretty spacious jungle gym for the kids. :) Definitely stop by if youre in the area!

Always love to take a walk in this park, tranquil & clean. landscape mostly well manicured.

Lacy Park has always been a beautiful park to visit.

We used to come here 10 years ago all the time. I dont like that they charge $20 people who are not local

Peaceful, great place for children, and picnics. On weekends they charge an admission fee for non residents.

True, $5 entry fee on weekends for non-city residents, but you will get to enjoy a well maintained lush park with lots of seating

Beautiful park right in the heart of San Marino.

Several Pokémon go gym here. But for some reason GPS shift a lot and make it difficult to reach some gyms. There is a firework around Independence Day. Now there is a Christmas light a little south.

So beautiful. Perfect place to walk your dog or enjoy a quick run. Plenty of trees and far enough from the street that you forget you in the city.

My favorite park. Always gives me a rest time.

Beautiful park to walk around in the evening. Rose Garden is always a highlight of my trip.

I tried to get 2 kids to think that big chungus was god, overall pretty cool

Cute park.

Nice Park to walk during the week, with two walking loops. Scenic and has a WWII display. If not a San Marino resident, avoid the $5 charge for weekends.

A lovely park. Unfortunately out of town residents have to pay on the weekend.
