Granada Park

This park is cute and the playground is pretty new. The only thing that’s always disgusting, is the bathrooms. There’s plenty of parking available and there’s a ton of space.

Took my kiddies here for their swimming lessons. The pools are out door pools, but very well kept. The pool employees are nice and helpful. The park itself is very big and clean. We will return.

This review is exclusively for the baseball field section of the park. The seating here is ample but definitely not the most comfortable. Definitely bring yourself a pillow or something to sit on. The snack bar here is significantly better than at other parks and they accommodate to large orders like for team snacks with prior notice. They sell hot dogs with chili from Tommy’s! Really tasty, although you can definitely tell that it has been warmed up various times. The horchata was decent.

Out of all the parks I’ve been to lately, this is my favorite. This park feels very open and spacious because of its huge grass area. The park also isn’t flat like most other parks. It’s somewhat hilly and sloped so you can get a better view of the park when you are at higher ground.
I came here mostly for the playground so I didn’t get to explore all areas of the park. I did notice a decent size swimming pool although I didn’t see anyone swimming in it. There’s also a baseball field, several walking areas, and few benches and tables.
Playground is pretty nice. The equipments look somewhat similar to the ones at Almansor Park. There’s a small train by the sand lot for little ones to crawl inside; two sets of swings (one set for little kids and one set for older kids); and few play areas with slides and other knick knacks. The slide area has shades on top which is crucial during the summer.
I thought it was kind of weird dogs are not allowed here, but after seeing how big the grass area is, I can kind of see why. There’s nothing worse than running or walking through the big field of green and stepping on a dog poop.
There really isn’t a designated parking lot for the park other than few spots by the playground, but I never had trouble finding street parking.

I’m giving Granada 5 stars because of all the memories here. This was the secret meeting spot many years ago when we started going out. It was hidden away from large streets, and it was/​still is so beautiful and clean. There are hills that are full of green grass and many large trees.
Although the park looks like it’s mainly hills, there are also areas for tennis, soccer, basketball (indoor and outdoor), swimming, kiddy playground, and there are picnic tables. Honestly, I’d prefer sitting on the grass and having a little picnic there. This park isn’t full of workout equipment or toys, like Rosemead park is. But this is more for the folks who just want a nice little getaway park.
After many years, we still occasionally come back here to reminisce. If I could keep this park a secret, I would. It’s probably one of my favorite parks around. If you’re in the area, feel free to come on by with a book and a cup of coffee and enjoy your afternoon here!

Love this park always clean and so close to my Alhambra home. Great for running or if you have small kids they have a nice kids section. Tennis courts, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, large Olympic size pool.

This park is awesome. People playing soccer everywhere. Families having picnics. Couples taking a stroll. Squirrels everywhere. Dogs with their owners. It was out of a movie. Kind of secluded and surrounded by homes and a church. I am a fan of this one.

Minus one star because the swings lack protection from the sun at key hours. Otherwise this is a gem of a park. Plenty of trees under which to read a book. Open space to run or play kickball while enjoying a view of mountain ranges in the distance. Other niceties include a playground with a few small train cars and cranes for grabbing sand that stretch children’s imagination, as well as a pool. You can even venture outside of the park and walk the surrounding neighborhood. I’ve never had a problem with parking here as there is plenty available around all edges of the park and within the surrounding neighborhood.
Other Unilocalers caution not to bring your dog here as the city frowns on it, but I’ve seen dogs with their owners frequently.

Went here earlier this week on Tuesday. I was surprised on the size of this park. Lots of green grass and shady trees. I came here to try out the pool. The pool was a little hard to find. Overall I enjoyed my experience. The heater in the pool is a plus. They have 2 pools. One for kids that goes up to 3.5 feet. A bit warm for me and the water was already muggy so early in the summer. The larger pool was crystal clear and nice and blue. It goes up to 13.5 feet. 2 diving boards, an entrance for handicapped patrons/​expectant mothers. Private showers, lockers-​so bring a lock, otherwise u check in ur stuff or take it with u at ur own risk. I’ll be coming to enjoy the shade with my kids soon!

I thought this park would be a great place to walk my dogs. Here’s a little story: I go walk my doberman and siberian husky with my sister and some Asian lady and her daughter glare at us. She had the whole park to look at… She gets out her phone (while still staring) and starts gesturing with us. After a while, we see the sign that had a picture of a dog. Getting the vibe that we weren’t supposed to bring our dogs we leave. I find it so rude she was trying to call the cops. She should’ve just told us that it we couldn’t have our dogs. Rude people. Won’t be back. Everyone seems to glare here. Sorry for making a human mistake geez
But I mean other than that it is a basic park with some tennis courts and playgrounds. Some parking spots and street parking.

Typical park with spacious field for outdoor activities. There are two tennis court, a swimming pool, and a playground. No basketball court.
Parking is on the street. The restroom was clean and so was the park!

This park is really nice but I will never forget the day when a city worker told me I couldn’t bring my dog into the park.
Granada park is a hidden park that most people don’t take advantage of. The pool is a really nice pool, always kept clean. I’ve never had a problem with that. I love that the grass is well kept but there are some poopies everywhere so be careful where you sit. Just to let every one know, dogs are not allowed in this park. There are signs that says no dogs. It kind of sucks because every time I go, I always see someone bring a dog which irks me since I can’t bring my own.
Come on the weekends or weekdays. Very relaxing. A lot of parking.
–Give it a try!

Hilly cute gem of a park!
Was looking for a place to walk my dog in the middle of running errands in Alhambra and Unilocaled upon this clean, well-​maintained park. It’s right up next to the 10 freeway but is in a quiet residential neighborhood near a church. There are 3 small lots, one at the base, one halfway up the hill, and one at the top behind the rec building.
The park is medium sized but seems bigger because the hilliness of it breaks it up so everyone kinda has their own section. The entrance of the park has a small flat area of grass for soccer games and tag and such :) There’s a couple sections of picnic tables, a clean inviting pool, tennis courts, a baseball field, kids playground, the rec center up top, and the office down on the bottom.
To break it down: very clean, safe, fun, healthy grass, lots of trees/​shade

Favorite park out of all the parks in Alhambra (sorry Almansor.)
— Very breezy when you’re at the top. can take a nap there without anyone disturbing you…
— Lots of spaces for a picnic or have a bbq. (need to reserve spots at the city hall if you are planning to have a big party or something similar)
— A nice playground for little kids…
— There are a few tennis courts, a swimming pool (open to the public at certain times), and a baseball field…
— Up inside the gym, kung fu classes, open table tennis, and zumba classes are available on certain days (can check the times on City of Alhambra website)
Overall a very nice park to spend the day, or just the evening with your friends and family.

Wonderful park! Nice open space, plenty of trees, relaxing, and ample street parking. What’s not to like?

Um, this place is pretty rad and here’s why:
1. Ample parking on the street, though, I like to go up the driveway and park up on the hill (great view!).
2. Very hilly which is great for an afternoon tumble (adults can do this too. I don’t judge).
3. Tons of space for a picnic, some light reading, or a simple nap.
Also, they have a well maintained kids playground area and a few grill & benches for bday parties. The spaces fill up quick on weekends so be sure to send someone to reserve a spot.
Located in a residential area, clean, and safe.

Very Big open spaced park. Downside is that there are no basketball courts here. The gym uptop is mainly for table tennis players (ping pong what have you)
In the morning there are exercises conducted by a group of people spread out through the park, and at the bottom in front of the pool, their is another group of people salsa dancing. this goes on from about 6am-​10am. Afternoon, a couple of soccer players or familyies having picnics. The picnic tables can be reserved if anything.

This is a very popular park on the weekends. If you want a picnic table area you must reserve it with the city way in advance. We have our annual get togethers here with our old neighborhood friends, everyone likes it so we keep coming back. The only drawback are the bathrooms which need a major upgrade.

This is a very spacious park! Located near the new alhambra plaza. There is lots of parking, tables, trees, etc. It’s a good place to hold an outdoor bbq or party! I’d suggest getting here early if you want to claim a table and don’t have one already reserved. It costs $ 50 to reserve a section of tables, but well worth it if you don’t want to take any chances of not having one. Luckily, we were surrounded by big shaded trees and didn’t have to set up a canopy, though the last time we came, we had to do that. There’s also a lot of grass areas to play games. We brought our own volleyball nets and set up there. I’ve seen the swimming pool but don’t know if it’s public. The place to go for a park party!

One of my favorite parks!
It’s a wide park constructed with many slopes and hills. There’s a recreation center on top, complete with a pool, tennis courts, tables that could be reserved, and of course a playground, with swings!
The scenery is quite relaxing, except for a useless set of stairs that connects to nowhere at the base. Near the top you could see quite a distance, and it looks somewhat gorgeous at night.
The hills are fun to roll down, the fields are wide enough for sports, and the greenery is unbelievably tranquil.
And as a bonus, there’s a 7 – 11 down the street, where you could get a big gulp and just sit there to relax
