Lincoln Park

I dropped by for a quick visit to the newly renovated Lincoln Park, the oldest park in the city of Long Beach. The park is located at the corner of W. Ocean Blvd. and Pacific Avenue in the city of Long Beach. The large open space is vast and situated behind The Billie Jean King public library.

Lincoln Park was established in 1880 and recently renovated and opened on February 11, 2022 just in time to celebrate Lincoln’s Holiday and Valentine’s Day on Monday, February 14th 2022. Lincoln Park boast many amenities on four (4) acres such as a universally accessible playground, dog park with designated small & large dog park area, fitness equipment, synthetic turf sports field, half basketball court, skate park, Discovery Zone for learning and exploration, grass area for sitting and playing, an iconic 14 foot tall Lincoln Penny, and a statue of Lincoln himself.

I need to stop by again and bring lunch and sit underneath the shaded trees and admire the tall buildings and architect in the area. Downtown Long Beach is developing very quickly and becoming a desirable location to work and live within the city. It’s wonderful to have such a large open space situated around massive structures to break up the landscape. We can all use more green space. Drop by if you’re in the area and enjoy a day...
