Garfield Park is equipped with three levels of childrens play grounds: from toddler to 4 or 5 year olds and maybe 6 to 12 year olds. You can take an infant to preteen age kids to enjoy the park. Green grass is cut regularly. Tall trees give aplenty shades. I especially like sand boxes for children to play with sands. At about 11: 00 a.m., there would be many people at the park.

A beautiful park with lots of green grass (for picnicing) and lovely roses. There are tennis courts and a scout house. Mad Men was filmed there (the picnic scene)️ A great place to unwind and kickback in the shade.

Pretty little park with trees that provide shade. I observed people socially distance themselves from each other but still had fun playing with their children. No one wore masks though. Some just sat under the trees and ate lunch.

I very much enjoyed this place. Very peaceful. I would consider bringing a mat to sit on the grass though.

Theres plenty of friendly and rambunctious squirrels at this park, which I consider to be a plus. In addition, the park is a nice facet of natural habitat and socializing grounds for many different breeds of birds - even a woodpecker! This place is a great spot to relax, and its an uncommon experience of nature within traveling distance, located in a nook-ish neighborhood of South Pasadena. The locals here are very friendly.

Lots of shade, peaceful atmosphere, nice playground for the kids and parking isnt bad. There is a slight hill so you have to be careful if your gate is unsteady. The company that I work for held their employee appreciation picnic here and it was awesome. The park also has outlets so you can plug in radios and fully enjoy yourself.

I love Garfield Park! Full of kids and their parties, dogs being walked, a few free concerts during the summer, wild parrots squawking in the trees at 5pm but most of all, so peaceful. The park is full of many types of trees that are now many decades old. A wonderful place to spend a little or a lot of time. So grateful for this park!

I have loved this park ever since I was a child! I am 48 years old now and this park is not changed except for the better! It is absolutely beautiful with children playing and families everywhere there are bands that come and play and the whole city pretty much comes in and just has a good time! It is very nice to have a park where you can feel safe at at all times of day and night and not worry about stepping in dog excrement or anything because everybody is very respectful and nice is

Garfield Park, it is a family oriented park. Ive gone there since I was a little girl. As my son grew up we visited Garfield Park quite often. The grass is green and it has some small Rolling Hills and beautiful Shady trees. It does have a small arena with a stage. I think to be able to use the arena you need to possibly get a permit from City Hall or Parks and Rec. Weve had some nice kids birthday parties there too. I have taken little kids there to do some small art projects. It is much easier to clean up after the kids when youre at the park than it would have been at home. If you plan a day at the park we always got there early two staked out our tables so they would be close together. Bring some easy to wipe off tablecloths with you. If youre going to have a large party talk to Parks and Rec about signs to reserve tables. Have a wonderful family day!
