Burned and messy!This park was having a brush fire before, so many areas looked burned and with yellow tapes around. I didnt see the dry and messy brushes were cleaned up before the fire. Right now, after the fire, it just looked junky and unattended. I have to wonder, why was that no body seemed to take care of this park in West Covina? Even volunteers can do a better job than just giving up this natural, wild park in the city of West Covina!
Nice place to stop and eat lunch. Many shady picnic tables.
Really nice if you wanna escape traffic and the city and not travel far and see some wilderness then this is the spot
It has lots of shade and is a reasonably short hike. The only drawback is the graffiti.
Galster Park is a beautiful place to go year round. Been going there for years and I love it. My family has held small events for special occasions here for as long as I can remember. The scenery is beautiful and its very peaceful there. Great for taking walks or taking a hike. The kids love it and weve had many a picnic there.
When they say wilderness they mean it. We did some shooting for a short film here and a friend of ours was seeing by a bee. She isnt allergic so it was okay. So be careful of bees and enjoy the scenery.
Nice outdoors place
Visited this park for the first time today, it was small but cool! It has a trail that goes all the way up into the hill. A little tough to follow if you dont want to get into the brush. There was an eating area! Looking forward to coming back here during the summer
Great hiking trail for children. The info center had a great show and tell for kids.
Incredible majestic park with 3 tiers, winding, sweeping hills, huge trees, vegetation galore, incredible vistas. One morning I just went there and fed all the wild squirrels who came up to me to get my peanuts out of my hand as I was sitting on the picnic bench. And what is this nonsense about it being haunted? Please. That is so stupid. I remember Nothing but good times here
Went just past the park, made a U turn and looked at the view..
This park has a very natural feel, I like that!
Its a nice park and great location for ghost hunters. If youve heard the stories about its dark past, then youll want to visit this place at night. Typically around midnight and three in the morning. It can get errie so go with a group of people.
Nice quiet place
Unfortunately there is alot of graffiti. The trails are rather nice though. When I went with my son there was teenagers smoking marijuana. Also at the top of the trail there was used condoms. Ew...
Its not really that big of a park, but the hikes are nice. Some elevation but nothing hard. Maybe 30-45 mins depending what pace youd like to go. Also, if you play Pokemon Go, there are pokestops to spin as you hike through the park. Great for monthly community day for you shiny hunters. There are picnic tables, restroom by entrance. Benches along the hiking trail.
Very wooded... secluded and private.
Peaceful and Serene, filled with beautiful walnut trees amidst the well groomed hiking trails.
Live this place and the serenity .and all of the wild life there its a fun place for everyone .
Nice place to hike.
When you want to clear your head or bring your children very recommended so beautiful & peaceful fun hiking animals and more
Beautiful place. Great for a quick hike. Shoet but atep climb. Love it for the dogs.
It a cool place to get your mini hike in and outdoor cardio in. You should go in the morning nice and cool before it get to hot up there.
Nice nature preserve with steep trails to enjoy a quick hike on. Very peaceful and usually not busy.
Great atmosphere awesome hill to kick your butt nice loop
Good place for a hike
Great haunted park
Small and quiet!
Nice quiet, clean park with a trial for hiking
It was a beautiful nature walkIt had changed a lot from 30 years ago
Me and my daughter went hikeing today, we almost step on a 4 to 5 feet Rattersnake on one of the trail! BEWARE..!
Great hiking trails. Great workout. Too much graffiti and not enough patrols but safe enough with folks hanging out.
This place is not kept up very well. Lots of trash, bathrooms not open, everything feels neglected.
It was nice, rather peaceful.
Nice and clean and quiet and nice view to
Nice views of West Covina. Easy and short hike to the top. Only drawback is the lack of seating at the viewpoint. There are a couple picnic tables but not where you can see the views. Trails have park benches along them but again not by any views.
Great place to Bird Watch, walk the dogs, meditate. Since it rained last week, today there was the most amazing tree perfume in the air ️
Was a great experience. Wish it was more dog friendly
Awesome park. Rode our bikes on the trails, played soccer with the kids, and had a nice picnic on the benches
Great park, great place to walk your dogs or even your kids they keep it up well its a nice quaint quiet place to get a little sun and a little fun.
Calm and soothing place, its best place if someone wants to spend time for a while
Not very big. Lots of trash and graffiti.
Excellent hike. Views of San Gabriel mountain range from Mt.Wilson to Mt.Baldy. from a parallel vantage point (South to North). Steep incline, park along the side about ¼ way up from bottom, picnic area ½ way from top then str8 up hill from there. Awesome ..must see
Beautiful views when you hike up the top of the trail
Nice clean quiet playground. Only wish there were swings for the babies.
So gorgeous place
Nice but kind of small
Always exclusive. Theres a new playground set on the park. Very nice & quiet place for a semi-private gathering.
I didnt expect to get a view like that. One trail leads right up the steep hillside. The view is amazing. The flies that buzz around you are not. Not a bad place to go for sunset.
Because I used to go there as a kid and I wanted to show my girlfriend the place
I have been hiking here with my dogs for years,and love it. I recommend to hike the trails & guarantee that it is going to be the best workout.
Quiet nice trail
Quiet place to relax
Lots of hiking trails. Beautiful scenery. Family friendly. Great for events. Not much parking but there is a top and bottom parking area.
This is a place I like to go. The park has a great picnic, and open grass. The best part is the kids area (playground) is removed from main pic nic area. There is a second pick nick area near the playground for the family purposes. The hiking is choice for me, Nice steep trails for a good workout.
Besides the spooky stories, it has some narrow and steep trails.
My grandchildren love hiking this place
Small, quiet, high land with restroom. Open 6:30 till dusk
Such an amazing part to just enjoy, grab lunch an go for a nature walk
Perfect blend of shady greenness and a dope hilltop view. Spiral staircase was a nice touch, and the clearing with the picnic tables was my favorite part for some reason. Maybe I was conceived there or something. Anyway dope spot
Awesome little park beside a trail leading to the top of the mountain with spectacular views of the city. Hidden in a beautiful neighborhood would never even know its there if not for the sign
Nice view.
Fun trails to explore good for a weekend where you want to hike but not have to deal with too much noise
Very beautiful park. You feel nature all around you.
Nice place
Great family place to visit
Creepy Place
Very Nice Hiking Trail that overlooks the city.
Great nature park. The best nature trail in West Covina. Hills are challenging and fun. The view at the top has a spectacular view of the whole San Gabriel Valley.
Great local spot for a quick steep home when your not in the mood for the gym treadmills.
Great Park to hike at have picnics and just bring the kids to play in the playground.
Galaster park being haunted or sinister is completely legend, nothing much has happened here.Its a cool park with a normal boring history.But it is 41 acres and has lots of nature trails with cool views of the Covinas and the valley. Most the trails are steep and in decent condition.
I just love it at night especially since when I went there I got an Erie E.V.P on my phone waaayyy back in the past. Makes me want to go back and see if I can get more creepy recordings and or pictures or videos.
Very scenic views!!!
Beautiful hiking within the city.
Love it
Nice calm clean
This park has a really nice view of the city.
I love it cuz its small and close to my house
Nice and quiet park just to do some small hicking...

We came, we saw, we left.
Nice jogging and hiking spot.
