This is a great park if for no other reason than the duck pond is not a common thing and is quite nice! The perimeter around the pond is a third of a mile, and on a typical day you’ll find people fishing (allowed with permit, I think) and feeding the ducks (not allowed, but lots of people do it anyway).
The pond used to be grimy and nasty, so it’s great that it’s been cleaned up in the last couple years. If only some of the other parts of the park could get a facelift as well!

I wanted to review since the park has changed quite a bit in the last couple years. The duck pond is in great shape, always has a ton of ducks and geese, and has a lot of seating. The baseball stadiums were fixed up last year, and the pool is amazing the months it’s open (the past two years I’ve gone regularly and it’s never busy). There’s a new playground area on the south side of the park, and the park offers a number of cheap classes (although I’ve never taken one). There’s basketball courts, tennis courts… the tennis courts are popular, and there can be a wait to get a spot.
The park has gone from an area that I avoided a few years ago to a place that is nice to visit from time to time. There was a carnival last weekend, which I see 2 – 3 times a year. I wouldn’t go driving across the Valley to visit this park, but for those who live in the area, it’s nice to have.

I pretty much grew up at this park and it makes me sad to see how run down and empty it is now. I played ball here, took swimming lessons, went to the carnivals and hung out here my entire childhood. i pass by on the weekends on bike rides and the baseball diamonds are mostly empty, and it doesn’t look like there’s many leagues going on. i most recently visited for the dodgers dreamfield dedication, but its weird, i never see anyone using that field. i miss having this place for my kid to go to. it was really more than a park back in the day, it was a big family. now its just empty and you just hear about shootings there.

I used to come here all the time and came back again recently after not having been for a while. Guess those budget cuts really got to the park system. I hope they start taking better care of the park soon — it seems to need a good cleaning.

I used to come to this park all the time when I wanted to just get away from my friends and relax for a bit or read.
These days it is a lot more busy and I am not sure it would be quite as relaxing.
I came here a few weeks ago and it was packed with kids doing various sports all over the park.
This is very cool for the kids and parents, but not what I would consider an atmosphere for relaxation.
However I was pleased to see the duck pond full and the ducks enjoying it.
It’s not bad, but probably not somewhere I would go to spend any quiet time at. At least not during the hours when the sports are going on.

I stayed in the Tarzana/​Reseda area for a year and I have to say that this place really helped me out with stress. There is an area to play basketball and Baseball. Also there is a small trail that goes around that park. Its a perfect place to just get away and get some fresh air. Even though you can see the roads if you go further in you wont be able to hear the cars.
