Recreation Park Playground — Attraction in Long Beach

This park is very nice in appearance and very large but it seems to be a recreational area for homeless people. I brought my toddler here to play one day and we were both having a blast until suddenly I smelled something horrendous. To my disgust, I realized that we both stepped in HUMAN POOP. There was a homeless man who still had a tent set up in the near distance and I'm assuming it came from him.

One of the best parks in this city. It is truly a unique set up here. One of the best parts is that it has a dinosaur theme. There is a section for small kids and one bigger kids, There is a mommy and baby swing, a toddler swing, a seesaw, spinning seats, a twisting slide, and more. Plenty od seating for a picnic. People even had pop-up tents and chairs. Overall great play area for...

This was such a great Dino themed park! So fun. My kids are 8 and 11 and they both had a great time here.

There were no bathrooms that I could see though, we had to leave. Highly recommend this park...
