Santa Fe Springs Park — Attraction in Santa Fe Springs

This is a long stripped park tucked between a neighborhood and the San Gabriel River, situated in an Edison easement (transmission towers and powerlines). I visited on a weekday (3/3/2022) at noon and found the restrooms, pool, and access to the San Gabriel River closed.
