Woodbridge Park

This is a great park for little kids, it’s clean and has 2 playing areas that have both sand and padded areas. It has workout machines for adults, but I find that unnecessary, it’ll be better if they had a basketball court instead.

This place is awesome for families. Always clean, nice people, secure, nice slides. My kids goes every day and they really really enjoy.

Good park. Nice terrain — there’s a creek, some small hills, good room to run. There’s a toddler playground and a ‘big kid’ playground, and a ton of grass and space. There are no port-​a-​pottys, though, which I find strange for a public park, and no water fountain that I noticed. I’m I discover otherwise, I’ll correct the review because it is a really good park but in my opinion those are necessary for five-​star park status.

Great little park in a nice neighborhood. There’s a kids play area on one side and an outdoor workout facility on the other side with a ton of grassy areas and pathways between. Keeps creeps far from the kids…

This park is great.
The 70 year old trainer that has taken up residence in the work out section, is a tool.

I come here some nights to run laps. They should even out the path, there’s a few spots on the far end of the track that always mess up my pace because I almost trip. The exercise equipment is kinda eh, but I have a gym membership anyway so I’m mostly here on nights I feel like running alone. So if you see me, go away. I’m trying to run alone. Like a lone wolf. In the night. Awoooo!

my doggie loves to run around and play at this park! So happy its close to my place!

Nice neighborhood, but the park itself is simply Not clean enough for the amount of children I saw playing barefoot… gross!

This is a nice big park (one huge block), with a good playground for the kiddies and also a nice outdoor workout area with public weight machines on the north end of the park.
There are paths for jogging and for strolling. It is adjacent to a private middle school, and it has a secret path on the SE corner to bring you to the side streets where it might be easier to park.

I live near by this place. I used to go often before I discovered another park.
Things I like: 2 different play yards, many stuff for activities, road for bike
Disadvantages: no restroom at all. This is awful especially when you are there with toddler potty trained. I don’t understand where kids should go. Also, road is just next to park and it’s easy for kids to go on the road which is not safe. Playground is not fenced.

My daughter loves to go to this park to play. It’s located in a real «old fashioned» neighborhood and parents feel real safe along with their families. The playground has plenty of fun games for the kids, although some of them could be a bit dangerous for the younger ones. We’ve tried several parks around the area and we still prefer Woodbridge Park the best.

We come here once a week to use the fitness equipment and to run laps around the track. The equipment is nicely shaded in the early morning /​late afternoon. Like most of the LA Fitness Zone setups, if you get there early in the morning, bring a towel to wipe down the machines as nobody saw fit to redirect the sprinklers when installing the equipment. Unlike some of the other fitness zones, all the equipment here is still in near perfect condition.
They also have picnic tables, kids playground equipment, and a couple drinking fountains.
Tujunga Village is just a couple blocks away for a post-​workout pick-​me-​up.

Summer is the season of picnics, family reunions, outdoor parties, BBQ’s, etc; therefore, it is vital to find the perfect park for these memorable gatherings. The perfect ratio of greenery, playgrounds, shade, and leisure activity options must be calculated to the full advantage while the proximity to the residential area surrounding it is also assessed. Sounds scientific, doesn’t it? Well, let’s take a lighter course and see how Woodbridge Park fits the bill…
Woodbridge Park is a small park located in Studio City near the prime strip of shopping on Tujunga (who isn’t familiar with Aroma Café) making this park the perfect after-​dinner or gelato stop to walk off some excess calories. However, Woodbridge is a bit deceiving on the eyes, as it looks bigger and more well-​kempt from the street than it actually is.
To give Woodbridge credit, it is spacious (however, it is mostly an empty lot of land), has two playgrounds to suit both smaller and older children, contains a few picnic tables, a small bike path, exercise machines, and chess tables (which is certainly the highlight: circular tables with a metal plate to suit a rousing outdoor boardgame). Sounds great, right?
The problem with these amenities is the state of care that they are in. The tables are dirty and have graffiti tags, the chess tables look shabby, uninviting, and are bordered with garbage, and the playgrounds are relatively decent but still need a good cleaning. The lawns themselves look more like a side of the freeway lot than a park (which, it technically is). The workout machines are in the best shape of the lot but are so close to the curb, that it is awkward for both exercisers and drivers to see each other. Plus, there are no baseball fields, basketball courts, or tennis courts so skip bringing the sports buffs. Despite these negative points, Woodbridge is rather quiet and suits a few minutes of peace.
If nothing else (and my following point can be good OR bad); Woodbridge attracts fairly odd park-​goers. Some of the people I have seen must be from some hidden-​camera TV show because they simply can’t be «real». This makes Woodbridge ideal for «people-​watching» or your research for your next sociology book.
Sadly, Woodbridge isn’t suggested for your 4^th of July bonanza or your niece’s birthday party. However, if in the neighborhood, Woodbridge will happily support a quick but quiet «walk in the park».

A really nice park for children, picnics, walkers and runners. My son and I enjoy walking to the park from our neighborhood home.
However, I keep coming across people who have their dogs off the leash. Today, as I was running the dirt track a lady’s dog came running and barking after me. I told the woman to put a leash on her dog and continued my run. On my next lap I observed the dog chasing after a child and nipping at his leg. I yelled at her to leash her dog. Her response was that he won’t hurt anyone. Really?
I hope we can put a stop to these people who think of their dog before the public’s safety.
We really don’t know when a dog can be provoked to behave out of character. I would hate to have a child hurt by one of the «friendly» dogs.

I’ve lived and worked as a real estate agent in the Woodbridge Park area for 25 years. The community is rare in that it feels like an old fashioned «neighborhood» with strolling sidewalks, longtime residents, all close to the charming park, and nearby Tujunga Village boutiques, cafes, theaters, and more. A great neighborhood, and adjoining park all very close to transportation, including the metro subway at Universal and Freeways. This quaint neighborhood is just a few minutes from Hollywood and Beverly Hills, but seems like a world away. The park is understated, never crowded, and has one of the best children’s playground around.

Great park with great people. Everyone is very nice and we’ve never had a problem with bad kids. There are always a few parents and kids, so you’re kid is never at a loss for someone to play with.

My son loves coming to this park. We’re lucky we live within walking distance. Great playgrounds. Extremely clean. Nice big field if we want to bring our dogs to get some exercise as well. There is always parking, and the other parents are always so friendly.

Our daughter loves coming to this park to play in the sand. We only wish we lived closer to it because it has a better toddler playground than Weddington by far!

My office is hectic, and there is no quiet place to eat lunch in the building. Some people eat on a lawn across the street, some people brave the lunch room, but not me. I like a quiet patch of solitude smack dab in the center of my day.
Woodbridge Park is a little oasis that greenly shines two blocks west of the 101 N. onramp on Moorpark, and one block east of the hippest stretch of Tajunga in the valley.
One side of the park is quiet. Large trees loom over park benches and picnic tables that are shaded by slotted wooden verandas. No matter how hot the day, the two lunch tables under the largest trees on the north side of the park are always cool.
There are trees scattered all over the park, each one inviting a picnic in puddle of shade at the foot of it’s trunk. In the center of the park is a large expanse of grass perfect for chucking a frisbie around. There is also a dirt track that circles most of the park and is perfect for walking or jogging.
On the south side of the park you will find lots of parents playing with their kids on the jungle gym set up. There are swings, slides and climbing apparatus in a big round sand area, the perimeter of which is ringed by that rubbery surface that looks like concrete but isn’t.
During the school year, you may want to wait until after 1pm to enjoy some quiet because huge flocks of children from the school annexed to the park will be out and about in full force.
You can always find street parking and there is a water fountain. Bring a sack lunch, a newspaper, and enjoy some peace of mind.
