Grass area was wet, but we still has fun. Took some balls and board games for the children. Took a large blanket and almost took a nap. Lots of people, but able to keep a safe distance. There is an ice cream truck, but remember to take water and snacks. The bicycle and boats are available for rent now. Most people wear their face masks the correct way. We didnt stop at the bathroom, so cant tell you about them at this time.

Beautiful and huge. Plenty of room to walk the dogs and exercise. Good fishing spots. The parking is great too they have 3+ lots.

Even during these times this place is a great spot to walk around and enjoy the scenery. I went for a quick bike ride and everyone that comes here upholds to the restrictions for the most part. It’s a safe place due to the Sheriffs presence that patrols these parks. It’s a great family environment that has some attractions like being able to fish, recreational/gym equipment, rental services and events happen here on a normal basis. The ducks are great to watch in my opinion. Walking trails/pathways are shared with bicycles but there are some off the path trails perhaps some people have carved out to avoid pedestrians if you’re on your bicycle. I’ve used those and they a re useful. Also there is a lot of parking surrounding the park for cars, trucks, RVs. Usually free during the week. It’s a great place over all.Cons:From time to time you will see or encounter homeless people due to near by encampments.Only some restrooms are open and that can change at any given time.

Beautiful spot to visit! They have paddle boat rentals in case you are on a date and want to do something together besides the well worth view of the lake and park. Even for a stroll, social distancing is practiced by those who visit. Better than staying at home during quarantine

It is a nice and quiet place to have an outdoor activity with the family. During the COVID-19 Pandemic Era, this place gives more comfort, relaxation, and space to ponder and unite with family.I went there with my eight months old boy and my family including my parents-in-law. It was such a lovely place and the sun wasn’t too hot and had a nice breeze to enjoy the scenery.Most visitors wear a mask. Thank you for not only protecting yourself but also protecting the community not spreading the COVID-19 virus.Stay Healthy, Be Safe, and Be Well everybody!Have A Blessed Day!Bosco :)

Free parking on weekdays (not holidays). This is an amazing park with lots of trails around the lakes. I went on a quiet Thursday and it was mostly empty. It is peaceful and quiet with lots of ducks and other small wildlife. There are many restrooms around the park and they had soap!

Huge park, great to go with kids. You can see ducks, geese, squirrels, rent bikes, paddle boats, or walk along the 3 lakes. The only thing missing is proper playgrounds. They have some sand pits with sculptures or climbing frames, and settings, but no slides. Bring things to play with in the grass. This is a great place for frisbees, balls kites, etc.

I grew up coming to this park and it has only gotten more beautiful! A little busy on weekends. Clean the bottom of your shoes when you leave, lots of geese!You can picnic, walk, fish and have gatherings.There are also sports interest areas. There is a model boat area, also. Just call and make arrangements.

I took my family bike riding here today and I really enjoyed it! The trail has great views of the lakes and the wildlife. The only thing my wife didnt like was the number of people walking/riding the trail that refused to wear masks. Even though we were masked, my wife was very uncomfortable with others refusal to follow COVID-19 protocols.

Lots of ducks and parking. Pretty peaceful place if you dont mind the loud buzzing from the power lines overhead. Good place to walk the dog. Plenty of space to roam. Not a beautiful place, but nice place to people watch and have parties and stuff.

Very nice and Scenic Park. Friendly ducks and squirrels to feed with beautiful Lakeside views. Recommended for the entire family. For just an hour or two make a whole day adventure out of it. Lots of interesting playgrounds for the kids. Walking and biking trails. It also has a remote control area where you can take your boats on the lake and have fun controlling them from a very nice stage area.

Found this little gem because I happened to be in the neighborhood. It wasnt too crowded on a Thursday evening around 7pm. Busy but not crowded since the park is huge. Many great little spots to chill and relax. Took this moment to walk by myself as I took in life after losing a friend. Its peaceful and what I needed. Id recommend this spot and would make the drive back from North Hollywood. As a photographer, I couldnt resist but to capture these moments all on my phone. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite parks around Los Angeles, California. I was here a few times but couldnt get time to write a review. I came here for a bit to relax after a hectic week. Yeah, it helped me to get me cool down.I would recommend everyone!!!!

Very clean and plenty of parking spots, different entrance Access, if you like nature this is the place to go you activities on the water like fishing, mechanical pedales in the lake, you can bring your little acuatic boat at remote control, BB Q, etc..super day at the park.

Family-friendly recreational area with a large lake off the 60 freeway. The park is very large and there’s a ~2 mile loop that goes around the lake. You can walk/run/bike and there’s a rental spot for those family bikes if you want a wholesome activity to spend an hour or two. There’s also plenty of picnic tables if you’d like to order takeout and eat out in nature. Be forewarned that there are a LOT of geese/ducks. They seem really comfortable around humans, but watch out for all the droppings in the grass!My group spontaneously decided to rent a pedal boat (double boat is $35/hour and fits four adults + one kid under 36 inches; the single boat is $25/hour and fits two adults plus one kid under 36 in. Each seat can support up to 230 lbs). It was a great idea - it was a blast to wander around the lake and enjoy the sunshine. Parking is available and free in area D. I believe there are hiking trails around the area as well, although we didn’t explore it on this visit.

Beautiful outdoor space. Plenty of space to sit. Great for kids!

I haven been going to this park for years and it is very large and has many open spaces!You are really able to find quite areas with no one rose nearby on the weekdays. The weekends can tend to get crowded during summer.Most of the time the park is clean, but its up to you and others to do their part.If you use the back parking lot next to the Army Engineers base, you can access the San Gabriel River Trail.

Amazing place to walk around, run or bike. nice park for a picnic a lot of open space for kids to run around.

Didnt fish cause turles at the bait. But its a nice park

Love the ducks and the water, lots of people at times inthe trail, but people are respectful of distance and noise. Great place for a little bike ride

A nice spot with plenty of shade to relax in and a 3 mile walking trail. Lots of squirrels, geese, cranes, and other water birds here to watch as you take a leisurely stroll. The area has two lakes with marsh like spots in them. It seems like prior to COVID you may have been able to rent a paddle boat, but I think theyre closed right now. Along the walking path, there are various signs describing the ecosystem of the park. There are also quite a few playground areas (again, closed now because of COVID).Overall the park was nice, but there were a few spots where there was a strong odor coming from the water and you could see trash in marshy areas. The restrooms as well were not very pleasant looking or smelling, but I find thats pretty typical for parks in the area.Not many people were wearing masks at this park. Even the employees of the park were not wearing their masks properly. There were a few large groups of people hanging out together as well. It was easy, however, to maintain distance from these folks as there was plenty of space to give them a wide berth while walking.

I use to fish here as a kid on and off in the 70s, 80s and very early 90s. I stopped coming here in the 90s when the people visiting here seemed to stop caring and just started leaving trash everywhere earning the lake the name of Diaper Lake I just went back for the first time in years and it seems that the city has put some good resources into keeping the place nice and clean for a change. I caught 3 bluegill within the first hour.Now that the place seems to have been cleaned up I may visit more often.

A cute getaway from the city. It can entertain a toddler for hours and it eases the mom life

One of my few favorite courses. Challenging layouts. Their weekly tournament 8s always a great time with a great group of Disc Golfers.

Very large area. Lakes are around the area. Enough space near lakes, parking spaces are available. May need little bit cleanliness. They should make some sitting arrangements near lakes. Restrooms are not bad. But overall experience is good. Area could be more organized.

Very nice environment for the whole family to come and have a good time. Great for children. Very nice picnic spots, tables and stuff. Fresh air, breath fully, wonderful place and nature is so beautiful around. Definitely recommend.

This place was beautiful. You can grill which my family and I did, you can also get inside of a small littles water area where you rent boats. Overall the place is great and will be going there more soon!

Its a beautiful park to relax & perhaps have a picnic with friends & family or even go fishing. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, I noticed it seemed quite crowded on a Sunday evening. In addition, I noticed several people were NOT wearing protective face masks & some who were not following distant socializing. But, as far as the Park goes, I recommend any person who enjoys walking or jogging this is the place to go.

Huge Parking lot closes at 7pm but you can still enter the area .where the paddleboard rentals are located .Very chill lots of ducks tables benches and huge trees. Id say it was very active at 830 pm when my friends and I arrived to night fish. No interruptions or disturbances . Beautiful and color changing fountain on one side of the lake. Kid / family friendly.

A perfect place to come and jog or even just sit and relax escape from the outside for while, fish or even paddle boat.

Beautiful running track if youre looking for a change of scenery. Been coming here for years.

Nice quiet pay to park area. $6 for vehicle parking gets you a less busy area of the park.Restrooms were closed and port-a-potty was extremely filthy with feces on the floor and wall.Several ice cream vendors available as well as bicycles and man-powered water crafts. Stationary Fruit vendors available in the free parking area.

I come here to fish with the family. Its a nice big park. The only bad thing is people dont pick up their trash.

The rest room need a lil bit more cleaning.. but the park is a great place too hang out with friends and family

A bit crowded at times. Not very well maintained. But still nice to visit. Lots of ducks and geese.

The park is nice. However, I developed an allergy to whatever they use to disinfect the life vests that are used for boating. Had to visit a doctor twice afterwards.

Nice place to come for morning or evening walks. Fishing is good if your into that sort of sport and picnic tables are abundant on these grounds.

Get your Zen on among the ducks and trees.Best spot to get in your 10k steps.

Not many signs of life as far as fishing is concerned, but the park and lake are decent. Could use more frequent cleaning. Although that is mostly the fault of lazy, filthy people and not the park staff.

Great place for pleasure during weekend. The goose family showing here is very friendly. They like playing with people. You can have some snacks ready for this goose family before visiting here.

Big place to get some fresh air.. there is also bike rentals and paddle boats.. or u can bring ur own bike

Very quiet calm and sometimes serene. Haha. Good place to take the kids, take yourself, fly a kite, or a R/C aircraft.

Dogs are allowed on leash. You can fish with license. But on the website is does not say u need a license nor anywhere else in the park entrance -.- (There is a cop that is giving out tickets if u fish without a license without warning and he is not nice nor understanding at all!) Open mon-sun, closes at sundown. It gets pack during the weekend. There is free parking on Santa Anita st if you do not know where just ask the person on the paying booth and he/she will direct you. There are a lot of ducks. And plenty of equipment to work out.

Loved it. Went with my family for a picnic and it was nice. Lots of bees and ballsy squirrels

Really nice place actually! People come here to jog and especially see all the ducks. The 3 lakes around the park present a nice view and you have plenty of place to walk around and enjoy the park view. There are also kids play areas and you may fish at the lakes as well!

Clean, but be aware of the geese and their poop. Theyve been enjoying the area and lack of people.

Took advantage of its true beauty on fathers day. Its huge. Many different playgrounds with different sculptures. Hard to get around due to its size. Rented a 4 person paddle bike. Can see the entire park so much better. Discovered play areas not visible from parking lot. Love this place.

I love coming here with my kids.. great place to work out.. plenty of parking. Just follow the road until it curves to find more parking.. but please clean after yourself

Love it. Great for pretty much anything: fishing, exercising, BBQ, chilling, etc.

This park is very relaxing. Great place to come for a walk, exercise, or just enjoy some time in nature. Parking lot D is very spacious and you may find the occasional fruit or ice cream vendor (cash only).

It was a blast from the past, I met a bunch of fellas flying their remote control airplanes.. VERY COOL

Large recreation park with plenty of picnic tables and areas to picnic. There are free parking lots and paid parking lots. The free parking lots tend to be packed on the weekends, but the paid parking lot is quite empty with ample areas to picnic.

Went to have lunch on one of the park benches. Nice day; not crowded, everyone had their masks on. There were people walking, jogging, and riding their bikes. There was a cool breeze blowing, just good to get out of the house for an hour.

As someone not from the area, this place is an absolute gem! Its such a beautiful escape from todays world. The lake is huge with places to feed birds, ride water toys, fish, etc. You can for hours and just enjoy the different views or you can set up call and just relax the day away. People are great and the place is clean! What more do you want?

Great place to relax, have a family activity or simply go for a run

JUST BEAUTIFUL...AMAZING TRAIL TO WALK AND EXPLORE THE PARK IN OVERALL IS AMAZING

Used to go to this park when I was a kid and for the first time I was able to take my babies we had so much fun so many memories love it always so peaceful

I love this park, its really big and has lots of trees and the view its pretty amazing. The lake its clean and I always see ducks in there, my only complain is that sometimes people dont pick up their trash when they leave the park but other than that I highly recommend it.

Great park, huge area for enjoying the outdoor activities. Small lake within.

Pretty peaceful parts I go to fish there. Dance kids organization is based out of the little clubhouse there. Its always good to see Dan Hernandez walking around showing the kids out of fish. I think its an LA county sponsored thing they get together once a month 3rd week of every month for free fishing lessons to children.Chrissy get classroom instruction where they show you how to do knots and whatnot and then you go out to the lake to fish.

This park less than 10 miles east of downtown Los angels is among most natural habitats for wildlife. With a huge land coverage you can truly get lost in its charming landscape. Its a clean place with a lot of service facilities and miles of green lawn, Great for bicycling and jogging and running. Wonderful space for romantic endeavors and more parking then ever needed all that and its free.

IT NEEDS BETTER RENEWED RESTROOMS IMMEDIATELY AND MORE SNACK HEALTHY BARS IMMEDIATELY

I like feeding the ducks, and my kids do too. We take our bikes and skates some times too. Or just walk or take a run some times, the rent small boats too.

Nice park good for walking. Grabbed a snow cone to reward myself for exercising.

Nice park cool people good food bike ridding fishing clean

Peaceful, so I had lunch in my car. Very open space

Very nice park with a lot of open space. Lakes have a beach like area with paddle board and bikes for rental. Only negative is there is a decent amount of trash around. We will definitely go back!

Beautiful park with 3 lakes, nice trails, plenty of parking.

Great place. Three lakes stocked with trout for fishing. Lots of open space for walking, bike riding, picnics and taking in nature. Lots of birds.

I noticed that the maintenance employees who work at the park are not wearing masks & today alot of walkers werent either. If it continues I will not go back. My husband has a compromised immune system & he needs to walk but it needs to be in a safe environment this place was not safe!

Awesome place.to ride bike. Walking trails. Lovely picnic spots.

Beautiful park I recommend families with children to come by so they can feed the birds. The place is big enough to have a picnic and go for a walk. Beautiful views to see ones you start walking around. The park is big enough to explore. I definitely recommend this park to family and to couples who like going to parks to spend time with nature. I give this park a 10 out of 10.

This was always my favorite place to come to as a kid and it still is as an adult. always well taken care of.

Great place to get some walking in, and for the granddaughter to get some energy out.

Beautiful park, for a picnic or exercise, dog walk!! They also have trolly rentals that you can rent for 1hr!!! It was nice seeing people ride them!! Lots of beautiful trees and the lake was really nice!!! Theres also a lil water wading area for children to splash around in and get wet!! If you wanna head outside, thus is a wonderful destination

I love going for walks here. It is so peaceful. Great walking paths. Nice lakes with beautiful scenery.

Beautiful love it it is gated and clean alot of trash cans

Fishing is ok lots of weeds and plants in the water. Also lots of trash in the water. And so many bees that wont leave you alone.

There are a lot of things to do here and takes awhile to fully explore which gives the opportunity to have a great time

The parking is okay, some you pay for some and some you dont. The one thing that I didnt like is that there are alot of ducks and goose. Why? You think. Because they come at you if they see anything in your hand. They were hissing at my 3 year old, he had his water cup in his hand and I guess they thought it was food and PLUS there was Alot of poop everywhere. But the experience was great first time for my two kids. Even my son got to fish.

The place has gotten crowded since the stay at home order was lifted. But this park is a wonderful family friendly place to walk, jog, boat, bike, and fish. Come have a picnic under a tree. Parking is free except weekends and holidays.

Great place since I was a kid, the wife and I take are regular 2 mile walks here and the parks surrounding have improved tremendously in the past few years...

It was a great place to go fishing it was quiet Pleasant enjoyable I recommended for everybody

This place is HUGE and there are tons of things to do. Lots of picnic areas, sports parks, lakes, and places for horses. The only down side is that there is a TON OF GEESE there, which translates to a ton of bird poop...not sanitary.

It was relaxing & very fun .I had a great time . There are lots of nice trees & plenty of ares to just relax .

Really nice park..Hundreds of ducks ..and fun area for kids to interact with pigeons and ducks.

Great place for a picnic. Though the birds can be a little nuisance. Have grilling spots and fishing spots. Nice place to jog.Area 6 is quiet nice, away from the lake, neat and clean.

I have been coming here for many years since I was a little kid I enjoy it because there is a lot of Shade and Plenty of space to ride a bike

What year Melrose Park used to be called lake lake back in the 70s and 80s we need to change the name back to lake lake.

I really love this park ! Ponds guve you a fresh feel. There are dozen things to do. So green and clean!!

A cup of fresh air is just what the doctor ordered! Delightful outdoor family activities and excercise! Beautiful ambiance!

Very beautiful and peaceful place just enjoy whatever you do there just... take care of our mother nature

U got ducks roaming around packing at your feet. Allot of people walking running. A pond or several ponds I believe.

Its a beautiful place to walk, run or just to clear your mind. Lots of ducks and the lake is well kept.

One of the largest parks in the area with lakes and long bike trail!

Its a favorite place for my family to ride our bikes for hours! Its worth the drive and very scenic!

Family friendly with Sheriff on stand by throught the park.

My dad brought me here for the first time on mothers day. It is a lovely park and lake with plenty of ducks and trees with shade.

Very pretty rather beautiful location. Amazing views. God place to running jogging multiple activities.

This place is family oriented my kids and grandkids look forward to going to the fishing derby and camping overnight every year !
