Crenshaw Park

Very nice, clean park to relax, whether you want to exercise to let off some steam, or just to sit and enjoy the scenery.

I was wanting to go to Paws dog park, but stumbled upon this park instead. This park is not too big and not too small. It was just right for Pocky and I. Once we arrived the parking lot was filled with ducks and gooses. Like other places, no feeding. But also like others place.. you’ll always have that one person to feed.
This park offers fishing, trails, sitting swings, benches, trash cans, golf ball rack, a lookout deck, a gazebo, a pavilion (you can rent), restrooms, playground, workout station, water fountain (area for dog and humans), a stadium, fountains, a large hill, lots of parking, and lakes.
The water fountain had a chain attached to it for dogs to drink. It was a pot (like cooking pot) and had algae in the bottom of it. I wasn’t going to let Pocky drink out of that. The park isn’t the cleanliest either, there were lots of trash on the ground and by the birds. Watch out for bird poop on the trail.
Other than that Pocky and I enjoyed ourselves. We sat on the swinging bench by the big olé lake and Pocky got excited over a squirrel. He really had a good time here. I’ll come back to fish.

It’s a great place to walk/​run with a trail on the outside of a large lake where ducks and geese swim and lay around watching you.
Lots of trees and sitting along the trail for anyone that may need it. A bridge connects each of the sides if you want to quickly get from one side to another.
There’s an area with bars, stabilization disk and other work out equipment. This area is next to the bathrooms. Speaking of the bathrooms — they are NASTY. Guys are very lucky when visiting this disgusting part of the park.
There’s also a pavilion that can be rented but I can’t imagine anyone wanting to be outside in that heat for an event.

Our son took us to this park near where he lives, we sure enjoyed it, had a nice concrete walking/​running trail around a small lake. I had a blast taking pics and videos of duck and ducklings and enjoyed the walk, this is a popular event and we see why. We posted some pics, enjoy. Don’t have to worry about skate boarding or bikes, not allowed, you can fish but not from the bridges or walkways…

Some rude people and creeps walking at night but other than that its great.

Thanks to Liz for letting me know about this park! I went yesterday for a quick run after work. I was dreading going all the way to Memorial from Pasadena (having to deal with traffic) and thankfully this park just gave me an alternative!
Crenshaw park is actually a very pretty, well maintained park. There is a lake, which is divided by a bridge. There is a jogging trail, which loops around the lake. The jogging trail is actually asphalt (which I don’t actually like to run in, but beggars can’t be choosers!). There is a play ground, a Gazebo and swings/​benches around the lake. The park is small and the loop is actually only about .74 miles, but the scenery is awesome! The park is not super busy but it is definitely used. There were people sitting on benches, running, walking or simply watching the ducks/​lake. I couldn’t help myself and ended up taking a bunch of pictures! I am officially a fan of this park. =0)
