George Lane Park — Attraction in California

Reviewing mainly the playground, I thought it was great. The floor of the playground is relatively thin wood chips (not splinters). The two playsets are shaded by large fabric sails. I consider the swings far enough apart, and the one large swing with a shoulder and lap harness kind of like on a roller coaster was pretty neat too, though I wish it was shaded too. Each playset has slides and stairs, one playset taller than the other. They also both have other ways of getting to the upper level. Near the playground is what looked like a skate park, and also two full size basketball courts (4 hoops). I didn't go in, but I think there are restrooms within a couple hundred feet of the playground. Across a sidewalk from the playground are about 7 or 8 cement bench style tables for dining. This park is a good choice for shaded fun...

Sites can be a little tight to get into, as they have posts fencing off the grass areas so that people don't drive over the grass. The only downside is that the dump station is on the left hand side of the main entrance, meaning you are in oncoming traffic while dumping. There is enough room for people to get by...

Good playground with slides, swings, climbing "rocks", etc. There's a skatepark, picnic areas, swimming pool, and basketball courts. We enjoy futsal on Friday afternoons at the Joe Walker gym (run by the Lane Park staff.) The fields are in poor condition for soccer and softball.

Seems like a good place to bring a dog, but there's no special dog park area. A few times I've been people have had their dogs without a leash, so be careful.

Drivers routinely speeding on L-8 and 55th St. and ignoring the crosswalk, which hurts the walkability from surrounding...
