Douglas Park

For a few different reasons, it might be the best park in LA. With the kids section in the back, it lets it be an appropriate park for kids that doesn't lead to mayhem everywhere else. The multiple duck ponds and the streams that connect them. The lawn bowling, the multitude of tables, the flat cement area for doing skating and learning new wheels. The bathrooms are clean. Only thing that could make this place better is a couple grills and maybe some workout stations. This place has it all, though. If you really want the secret sauce, it has an underground disc golf object course that can be played at night. Just use UDisc app and search Douglas and you'll see the layout. It's like a hidden secret scavenger hunt. Epic.

I like this little park. It's great for little ones and toddlers too. Gated which helps to corale the kiddos! There are restrooms and a grass area with trees. Good for older kids as well. There's also a little pond/stream with ducks and hummingbirds. There's also picnic benches and just sitting benches. What else? Parking is well....parking in the middle of Santa Monica. Metered and then at the back of the park, on the play area side there is free 2 hour parking. Plus is Starbucks is close by if you need caffeine first!

A great public park with something for everyone. Playground for littles, skate bowl, tennis court, grass, duck pond, lawn bowling, shaded areas, and most importantly restrooms and water fountains. Plus there's a Starbucks nearby.... An ideal spot.

It's the best. Nannies and children and ducks , turtles. They keep the homeless out because of the kids. They can go to Lincoln park!

Beautiful evening spent watching kids play & 🐤ducklings followed by their mama. So glad that the rocks🪨 are open again. Where the daredevil in all of us comes out to hop over some boulders above a running stream. We fetched a Chinese Chicken salad 🥗from Calif. Chicken Cafe, just a 3 min walk, to eat in the park. Kids are free to roam here, climb trees, jump rocks, feed the ducks clover🍀 & grass. Restrooms are decent We felt safe here, despite some vagrants near Wilshire Blvd. This the perfect size for a neighborhood park! 🏞

This park is in Santa Monica, Ça. It is clean, green and beautiful. There are 2 free tennis courts, skating ring, picnic tables, kids playground and 4 clean restrooms. There are free and meter parking around the park.

A Santa Monica institution that has regaled several generations. Our daughter enjoys the duck ponds and saying quack quack. There’s a mini skate board rink, 2 tennis courts, a well maintained children’s closed play area for kids 5-12, several duck ponds, restrooms, free 2 hour parking across the street, lots of benches and walkways. Overall a decent park for kids with enough activities that will keep them coming back for more.

Great little park for children, my granddaughter loves the turtles and ducks in the pond. She also enjoyed the playground area . Caution: The slides and swings do get very hot in the afternoon.
