Furman Park — Attraction in Downey

it’s a good park, always clean. Been bringing my daughter here since she was 1. But just a heads up be aware of this vehicle. It had two girls with two little girls. One of the girls was wearing blue scrubs with a logo that looked like it had a flag with hands and said Mag medical school. My daughter was playing in the sand with a few other kids. when the girl in scrubs approached my fiancé asking her somewhat personal questions. Then my lady called me to stand next her as she felt weird and uncomfortable. As soon as i walked to stand with my lady she walked away right away. After a while we decided to sit down on a bench meanwhile my daughter was riding her scooter with another little girl near some flowers. When we sat down we noticed the girl in the scrubs was pointing at us and talking to the girl she came with. Then she began approaching other parents there continuing to point at my fiancé and myself. There was a gentleman sitting across us and confronted the guy if the little girl that was playing with my child was his and to keep a better eye her. that he wasn’t doing his job as a parent. Then said that “ well keep an eye on her bc those people look interested in her “ while pointing at us. I then stood up to ask if there were any issues but quickly walked away flipped me off and seemed like she was taking photos of my daughter, my...

It's on the smaller side, but it seems well maintained. There's exercise equipment and a track to run. A couple baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts and a couple playground areas and several areas to grill. I haven't met the staff here, so I can't comment on that.

I do know it closes at 10:00pm, which is better than other parks that close at sunset. The restrooms seem to close a bit earlier, but I don't know the exact time. My guess would be that they close between 6:00pm and 8:00 pm. Recently, the cops are fairly consistently checking between 10:00-11:00pm to see that people are out of the park after closing.

For those that play pogo, this is an ex raid location. It also has several spots to spin (I believe 6-7 without including the gyms).

Update: the lights at the park seem to stay on over night, and while I don't recommend walking there late, I occasionally do and the lights definitely help make you feel safer. I definitely don't recommend walking there alone. I've never had reason to believe it's dangerous, but it's best to exercise caution.

There are also 2 pay stations to charge...

The staff was great but the kitchen was dirty . I originally went to see the place 3 weeks ahead and there was food in the oven The refrigerator was very dirty also the kitchen was just filthy. I asked if it was going to be clean and they guaranteed it would be. When we walked in it was just has it was 3 wks prior.food still in the oven. When you have a timed event you do not have time to start clean .We did not use the kitchen. I would never put food in or on a stove so dirty the event room was find . thank god we brought crockpot s . It was a baby shower everyone has fun at a baby shower. Once again the staff was great they removed the food as soon I. Found them as they were also taking care of the park. Very apologetic.I would use the place again but would go a day ahead to make sure things were clean. I had originally planned to but the time got...
