McCambridge Park

I used to enjoy coming here but stopped because of the homeless people who live there. I have nothing against homeless people but the fact that they actually live there just don’t make me feel
comfortable going there. There’s a couple of guys who live in the park under a big tent in one of park benches and across from them there is another guy who lives inside a white truck (parked along Scott Road). The white truck has been there since like forever and never moved. When I used to jog around McCambridge Park in the morning, I thought I smelled horse manure every time I pass the truck thinking that truck was some sort of horse carriage but later on I realized the smell was actually something else. When I realized that, I just stopped coming. This place now gives me the creeps so now I stay away. Too many weird people in a place where regular folks should feel secure but I just don’t feel comfortable and safe so too bad I can’t enjoy this place anymore.

One of my favorite park in Burbank :)
Playground for kids is really nice and swimming pool, tennis courts are in a great condition :)

Nice playground. Never crowded. Most of the kids are nice. Two separate play areas for small and bigger kids. Bathrooms are dirty though. Parking lot is small but street parking is usually available.

Came here for my BFF’s baby boy’s first birthday. The party was inside the recreation hall.
As soon as we got there, my daughter wanted to play on the playground. We got there a little early. There were park tables outside and two playgrounds for kids. As we walked to the recreation center, they have a big basketball court, tennis court and a pool below. It is a very nice and clean park. The restrooms were near the kiddy playground where all the toddlers play at.
I really enjoyed the sitting on the bench under the shade. It was a warm day. When we entered the recreation hall, there was air conditioning inside. Very clean. I enjoyed myself at the party. The tables were decorated with kids stuff including a balloon on each table. I definitely enjoyed this park. Plenty of parking around this recreation hall.

Great little park to walk around and lie in the sun if you have a picnic blanket.
Includes a jungle gym, basketball court and next door had a baseball field.
Good place to have a kid’s birthday party since I saw plenty of those happening lol

I haven’t been to McCambridge Park with the kiddos in a while. It was a bummer to see a few games busted and needing repair. The tough part was to see a couple kids get hurt on them. In particular the dragon fly teeter totter. Little girl got hit hard on the head. Also the sand is so low kids and adults keep tripping when walking off rubber matte to sand. I hope Burbank can take care of these repairs sooner than later.

Park was nice but the bbq’s sucked

Great park with tennis courts, softball fields, a pool, and a playground. Lots of big shady trees to lay under too! My only critique: the bathrooms are almost always gross and dirty… and you’re lucky if there’s soap to wash your hands. Otherwise, I love this park though!!!

I would have to say this may be the worst park in Los Angeles. Toddlers using this smaller playground constantly slipping on the raised cushion platform. Whoever designed this forgot to test toddlers walking on it as toddlers slipped all day long and one was bleeding pretty bad. Do not take your toddler there. Walking back to the parking we had to use the bathroom. A sign pointing inside with restroom. We walked in and she kicked out a 4 year boy who was needing urgent bathroom. She said this is for members only. So child was crying and we had to walk and find the restroom for the public.

It’s a chill place but $ 10 for non-​residents it’s way over priced. On top of that, they never put paper towel or hand soap in the Restroom. They think their water is made of gold or something.

My review is solely for the toddler playground. I happened to park in the lot off of Andover Dr., in the corner by the tennis courts, without knowing the layout of the place. Luckily the toddler playground is situated nearby.
I absolutely love that the playground is shaded! I wish mesh coverings were standard on more playgrounds in SoCal. What’s the point of having a cool play area if the equipment is scalding hot during the summer months? The play area is padded with sand. There are some concrete benches situated right by the playground.
Another big thumbs up is the fact that the toddler playground is a decent distance away from the older kids’ playground. It might be a pain for people with kids of different ages in tow; however, I love it because it means my two year old is less likely to want to play on the stuff that’s way too big for her with kids that are bigger and more rough.
Restrooms are right by the toddler playground and were clean.

Love this park. There is plenty if shaded areas. The bathrooms are not that dirty comparing to other parks.

I would like a little more organized volleyball. Everyone puts their name multiple times in order to play more… really? put some order whoever you are… in charge

This is an awesome park. Play tennis, basketball, catch with ur son or daughter. The kids playground area is so cool for the toddlers and even the big kids. If u have kids or don’t, nieces or nephews maybe, definitely the place u want ur kids to burn off energy. Great place for birthdays and it’s very well maintained which I think is very important. 5stars baby!

This park is right across from my condo. It’s always so clean and well kept. Not only do I know this first hand because my kids play at the jungle gym area, but I’ve played soccer there before, and had many picnics there as well. In addition, when I am dropping my kids off at school in the morning and we are sitting at the red light in front on Scott Road, there’s always a maintenance team cleaning up, or working on the lawn! How amazing is that! What a great park. And great city! Happy to be a part of this!
Oh. And I should mention, there’s a pool here, tennis courts, basketball courts, softball/​baseball, and a lawn large enough to accommodate soccer! :)
Enjoy!

My family loves this park!!!
It’s great for kids. The kids play area is separated into toddlers and big kids which is great because older kids could get a little crazy.
Tennis courts: you can reserve some or sometimes just walk in and play. They have lots.
Basketball courts: there’s only one full court. It’s always busy so if you’re up for a pick up game just let the guys know.
Lawn bowling: it’s available but never really seen anybody use it.
Baseball field: There’s always some type of activity going on. Kids league or just a family playing around.
The park has lots of running space. Sometimes I see families setting up a volleyball net.
It’s great for parties and picnics. Clean!

It is a good size park with nice picnic tables and big grassy areas, I appreciate this because there are other parks in Burbank with very limited or small grass areas. My 1 year old boy loves to run on the grass and play ball in this park. It has playgrounds structures for children of different ages, which is also very nice. The tennis courts are great too.
Don’t forget to scan the place first before you let your little ones run around though, some dog owners don’t like to pick up after their pets.

I came here to play Volleyball in the gym indoors. It fit two volleyball nets which allowed two games to go on at the same time, but it was definitely cramped. The basketball hoops that were raised kept getting in the way the entire time, which was definitely annoying.
They have a small parking lot right in front of the gym.
Located right on Glenoaks Blvd.

LOVE THIS PARK! Coolest play area around. Only complaint is that the parents here don’t seem to care what their kids are doing. I watched 2 boys bully and name call another little boy and the response of the 2 moms was well… nothing. They were too busy chatting to even notice. Please watch your kids!
Nice swings, it’s really new, and the slides and structures are great! YAY

If you are a Park Historian (does that career path exist?); then you are aware that parks were initially created as deer hunting parks for royalty in the Middle Ages. Basically, the ownership of a park was a status-​symbol worth noting. If this representation of wealth is still accepted, then the city of Burbank is loaded with moolah with its presentation of the McCambridge Park Recreation Center.
Now THIS is a park, ladies and gents! McCambridge Park is more than just a dinky, grassy knoll… it is a hub of activity that can be best compared to a town center. McCambridge park is HUGE, easy on the eyes, and well-​maintained. It has the standard green grass, shady trees, bike paths, and open space which we are all familiar with concerning a neighborhood park while being supplemented with picnic tables for your next lunch and plenty of trashcans to keep nature clean. Not to mention, a bounty of parking so that no one feels left out of the fun.
However, besides the ‘usual’, McCambridge Park also kicks it up a notch and offers: baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, a playground for the tykes and for older children, a rec center with a pool and classes/​lessons, and restrooms to empty those bladders. Parents will be pleased with the awesome playground apparatus which is clean, in great shape, and includes fun climbing gear like mini-​mountain walls. Even better? You don’t have to worry about the sunset and dusk settling in as McCambridge Park has strong, plentiful lighting. Not only does it make safety a top priority; but results in the park being busy (in a good way) even during late hours. Don’t be surprised to find basketball games whooping it up and teens taking walks even at 9pm.
On the other hand, if you are seeking a quiet and romantic walk in the park; you won’t find it here. This isn’t the solitude hideaway that some seek and is instead a hoppin’, fun place to be. It is loud and hectic but regardless, an AMAZING park.
McCambridge Park is beauty and entertainment (for free!) combined with nature at its finest and simply can’t be beat. In fact, I would venture to say this is the best neighborhood park in the area. Status symbol or not, McCambridge Park is fit for royalty… or us simple civilians.

So when people complain about Big Government, do they know about places like McCambridge Park? Holy Hamptons, Batman, this place is dee-​luxe. Talk about putting your tax dollars to work.
The place should charge admission. Super clean across the board, from the tiny grains of playground sand (there are two separate play areas, one for big kids, the other small, including two teeter-​totters), to the baseball fields, tennis, rac and basketball courts. There’s even a freaking Thai restaurant… This isn’t a park, y’all, it’s a family fun center.
I’m so, so jealous of Burbank right now. Some reviews note there’s a homeless element to the park visitors. Look, if I’m down on my luck, I’m hanging at McCambridge, too.
