Cypress Park & Recreation Center

I have not been allowed to play basketball in the gym, like the park, a public space, 3 times now. It seems clear that each time, the gym was available. I am a transgender woman. On my latest attempt Saturday, July 12, I was referred to as a guy three times total, by two different staff members. A staff member talked about me, her, and her manager meeting on Monday. I don't want to because staff has been that hostile. The first time, I wasn't allowed to play despite no one being in the gym. The second time, it was claimed the gym was being worked on. It seems clear that was false. Let alone that I was told that kids were there that day, but a staff member on-site that day said they were not. The third time, I was told both that someone needed to be in the gym while I was there. And that there wasn't a second staff member who could do it. I saw a second person in the office. Even if they weren't staff, it's difficult for me to believe I both needed to be supervised and that the supervision could not be done.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The gym itself was well maintained, and the floor was well kept. My only wish was that the bench for the girls' volleyball teams was set up on the opposite side from the fans. Being that the gym itself is small, having the fans seated behind the girls was disruptive.

It reflects my Armenian soul . I must it been Armenian in the past life as a king of hayastan 🇦🇲

This park is a family oriented park. Many festivities for everyone to enjoy. Many gifts for volunteers and parents as well. I love the staff and will continue to bring my family to this park. Has changed through the years. Please do not let previous years define this park, it has come a long way to be a safe and fun environment for all.

The restrooms are not that great and there is no mirror in the men's room either (because of taggers). There are a lot of young kids and teenagers that do pass through here in the summertime. The park before Avenue 26 (LA River)is much better scenic and they even have nice displays inside and a tennis court.

The Park got better now it has a big huge tent over the playground for your kids to play. You don't have to worry about getting burn. There's also a area we could play baseball soccer nice grass the playground has Sand.

Me and my daughter really love this place. We love the all the stuff. We love Michael the coordinator. We love Go Bannanas!🐒 summer camp!! My daughter can't wait to go there every day!! I recommend this park 100%

It is a small park. It is relatively clean. The restrooms need a little more tending to and they should update it a little. The basketball court is cool but needs to be mopped and swept more so it won't be so sandy.

I love this park. When i lived in Cypress for a little while, id jog and workout here. Its a awesome little family community park. Chidrens playgrounds, and sports area for kids to even play Basketball, Soccer, and some baseball. Just a nice place to be with family and friends, or alone walking pets.

This years Summer Camp was absolutely Amazing!!!! The Staff was on point and they were so Organized. Every week we got a weekly schedule of what the kids daily activities consisted of and the Field Trips were included as well. Thanks to Mike García (Director) who was always available and present. Both my. It's had a blast this Summer. Hope to see you next Summer.

This park is not for any kids that are serious about sports. They do not outsource referees so no games are accurate and thorough for kids to learn proper rules of sports. Yeah, it is a park price, but not worth it for any parents that really want their children to learn quality sportsmanship and rules of the game to be successful athletes. I literally gave it 1 star just because it is a local community park.

What can I say?! This has been my childhood park and not to mention local. This park always has activities such as zumba, sports and I believe folklorico...it's small and comforting, or at least I think so :D
