Syd Kronenthal Park — Attraction in Culver City

My turnaround at the east end of the Ballona Creek Bike Path! I enjoy a rest stop here to take a break before heading back to Playa Del Rey! For locals, it also makes a good place to depart from when riding westbound towards the ocean. It’s a good medium sized park that’s nestled within a Culver City neighborhood.

It has lot’s of free parking, shaded picnic tables, sports fields, BBQ’s, playground, recreation building and a tennis court. The park is within constant view of the Wrapper Building of Culver City and frequently, the Metro E-Line light rail...

There was a surprising amount of parking at this field. The park look like it was well maintained and she didn't complain to us at all about...

The homeless from the creek tweak out in the restrooms. One sprayed some substance on me and he said he was cleaning the floor. He said it was just shampoo and water...They also come up to you while you are picnicking and sniff you out. Otherwise a fantastic park. Only had one thing stolen from my car here. Too many dogs are off leash and there is always human waste smell near where they setup tents behind equipment sheds. If you are part of a large group you should have no problems. The softball action and lighting at night is excellent on...
