Long Beach Recreation Center Veterans Memorial Park — Attraction in Long Beach

I rate this park four stars I will give it five but because of the homeless pandemic that's going on with all the homelessness people not to say anything about homeless but it's just too many homeless and the restroom restrooms terrible to use you can never use the restroom if you have to take a dump or lose number two you would say it's always being used and other than that it's good to play place to go on the weekends with your family to play sports baseball soccer basketball and hang out with friends and have a good time under this the trees that have a lot of shade there's a lot of parking space available on the side too as well and other than that it's a big Park it's...

I love this park. If there is one thing that bothers me about people's reviews it says that they comment on the homeless people as if they are raccoons. But they are not, their people. And although there are several unfortunate homeless human beings that hang out there,, they are extremely respectful and we'll go out of their way to blend in with the nature and the other surroundings. As opposed to being a nuisance,. People who have jobs and homes scare me much more then these folks. I have no problem taking my young friends to this Park....

Nice that they updated the playground, but not enough swings or slides and that's what kids like...Too many rope climbing areas and other lame additions....If they are trying to deter the homeless from using the play area as a campsite, mission accomplished, but in doing so, you've made a very boring playground. I remember this park as a kid in the 70's & 80's with all steel equipment, which might not of been kid safe, but we played, climbed, spun, swung, slid and had a good time...
