This place is well run, very clean and I especially love that they don’t allow dogs to just roam free and poop all over the place. It’s nice to let your kids run around and not have to worry about them being attacked by an off leash dog like every other park in Los Angeles. My kid has gone to the camp and he’s played sports here. And everything has been above and beyond what we expected.
The new playground is great and the facilities are nice, but the programming needs work. You could probably show up and bring your kid to their gymnastics class for free because they don't know the kids names, nor do they take any attendance, plus the class size is way too large. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my kid alone here because the adults simply don't seem to be on top of their game, unfortunately. Other rec centers in the area have much better programming. I really hope EV rec center improves their classes for the future, it could be a great spot!
Council District 13 Covid Vaccination site. Very organized, 30 min in and out!
Pay close attention to your kids, this park encourages cheating in sports. The volleyball team was composed of mixed players from park and elite club. They play against my daughter’s team tonight and clearly you could see the difference from a team that got together two months ago and their team that has years of experience. If Los Angeles parks and recreation is trying to create an environment of fair play, fun and a chance for sport growth, the parks’ administration should enforce more regulations and not just look the other way. Hard working coaches deserve respect.
